I am only a level 7 mage, I think, but so far my ability to kill creatures with magic is terrible compared to my ability to kill with a weapon, even though my intelligence stat(25) is a lot higher than my strength or agility (3 or 4). It drains my mana completely to kill only a couple of low level creatures. Has anyone else had an experience like this, and if so, should I just give up on magic and boost my other stats.
