1. My friend (let's call he/she "N") want to play as battlemage but has no clue how to build. But N prefer to build their char with both physical damage and magical damage. What weapon they can hold? Also which race or pre-created main characters is best to build battlemage and why? (except Fane pls, That one is too OP).

2. I locked in Enchanter and grabbed 3 water spells hail strike, restoration, armor of frost. What should i build to support for N. Can this class use other weapons instead of staff?
