"''This is the build that was popularized by VincentNightray in his [http://forums.atlusonline.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=20636 Shotmage guide], and as such is one of--if not the--most popular builds. For first-time mages or beginners, I recommend this build; it works great and allows you to sample everything that a mage embodies.
Advantages:
* Class 10 Destruction Magic -- able to use all spells.
* 50% less MP cost.
* Access to the Enhancement chain expertise up to Class 2, Rank 5; one can make themselves and allies stronger and harder to kill, as well as preventing knockback.
* Access to the Curse of the Wretched chain expertise up to Class 3, Rank 4; one's capable of powerful crowd control, as well as potentially doubling damage dealt with the slash/bullet/spell hex.
* Access to the Demolition Dash expertise up to class 5, rank 7; access to the entire repertoire of skills to deal great damage. Especially helpful against PvE (player versus enemy) at lower levels.
* A great PvP build.
* Agile both in soloing and in a party.

Disadvantages:
* Does not have maximum 'Enhancement' or 'Curse of the Wretched' expertise tree--unable to use the
* Doesn't heal as well as a pure Enhancer might.
* Misses out on the final class of Magic Control and consequently the Fire-boosting toggle.
* Requires level 90 to complete.

To use this build, you'll first want to completely max your magic stat, and then boost your intelligence as high as possible. It's also a good idea to invest in 20 luck to help protect against critical hits.
Note: If you're able to/decide to get 13 Vishnu Tarots, another possibility is to get 99 Magic/75 Intelligence and place the rest into luck.''" - Ubiquitous
