From what i have seen in wiki, there are barely any prefixes that increase mana.

all i saw were smart and solid, which can only be used for hats and shield respectively.

anyone know what prefixes magicians use or do they leave it blank?

Guess I'll answer you Marle. We use critical enchants mostly for now(somday in future we may get more). With the occasional + int (not many of those).

Prefix

Weapon = Lizard
Boots = Muscians
Gloves = Polished
Helm = Curing (that's why I wear norman helm)
Access = Honerable/Famous
Shield = Rigid (Cause aint no tank like a mage)

Also no one has confirmed this yet but I suspect that the +20 mana prefix (r9)for Access is hidden in the endchest of Alby basic Hardmode. But on our server I bet no one even runs that.

Enchants for mages are mostly luxury. They don't really make a mage "stronger" but just increases their mana pool. More max mana is a luxury because all it does is give you more padding for when you need to drink a potion. I find it better to enchant for melee unless you're going to be using strictly magic, in which you would use mage enchants.

IE. If I plan on using both melee and magic, I'll use my damage set. If I plan on using only Ice Spear and Blaze, I use my mana set.

If you don't care to make multiple sets, try get boost your crit really high with prefixes (aim for 80-110% with your melee weapons), stick Mana Reduction on your Suffixes, and then fill the rest of your empty slots with... maybe Giant enchants or something. This works for Hybrid Range/Magic as well.

unless a person is like really pro to handle the -15int, no magician is going to use that. Even if a person is pro enough, he/she would get better enchant.

ya but if you are gonna meele most of the time and bolt a bit sometimes, then just get damage+ enchants

Actually I forgot that Giant was -15 Int. I was trying to think of a neutral enchant without any negatives but I guess I failed.

Ha thats whats ive been doing, i just was hoping for enchants that i could place on my items that added both str and mana lol, without needing seperate sets. Do u know of any future enchants that may satisfy what im looking for?

I don't consider myself pro by any means in terms of mage area and i use giant along side magic using and I'm a melee/mage hybrid. I just do damage and strength and kind of ignore any int or MP adding enchants. I do however want to make simple wizard wands for the MP when using adv magic. Other than that just get damage enchants and crit enchants. Unless you have drastically low MP when starting out MP enchants are pretty useless for the most part and int enchants for the most part are pretty crappy, just rank int increasing skills and your fine.

The best enchants for pure mages are those that raise MP, for use with Mana Shield. If they raise Int as well, that's a bonus, since that will increase magic damage. There are some lower-level ones that grant only a few MP, which can be good to use along with the higher-level ones, if you don't go for enchants that offer protection or defense.

Wizard
-20 HP
+40 MP
+20 Int if Lightning Bolt Rank 6+
Weapons
Broad Stick (Black Wizard)

Fickle
+10 MP
+10 Int
+10% Balance if using "the Diligent" title
+10% Critical if using "the Lazy" title
+9%Repair Cost
Magical Clothing
Enchant Scroll (Barri Advanced for Two, Rundal Basic Hardmode reward)

Mana
+20 MP if Icebolt Rank 8+
-15 Str if Meditation Rank A+
+10 Int if Meditation Rank A+
Footwear
Swordsmans Shoes (Lycanthrope) Cylinder (The Stones of Sliab Cuilin)

Formal
Formal
+20 MP if Firebolt Rank A+
-20 Str
+10 Int if Icebolt Rank A+
Wand (Give Lassar a Topaz)
Enchant Scroll (Rundal Siren Dungeon 4th Floor Chest)

Waterfall
+16~12 MP when lvl 28+
Headgear, Armor, Clothes
Enchant Scroll (Alby Advanced Hardmode Reward, Siren Hardmode Reward)

There are several good accessory enchants, but nearly all of them are only available at random from Nao's 20th Birthday Gift. You can sometimes find them for sale, but they tend to be priced rather high.

Virgo
+10 MP
+2% Protection
Accessory

Blizzard's
+5 HP
+15 MP
-5 Str
Accessory

Cornflower
+10 MP
+10 Will
+10 Luck
+1 Defense
Accessory
