Accessory (Right)	Brilliant Light Sapphire Ring [1] (490064)	Brilliant Light Accessories	Look for the following Enchants: Destructive Evil Lv3 (310254) , Happiness Lv3 (310224) (I'm not gonna suggest to try and find more than lvl 3 because this is basically a midgame accessory and we don't want you spending your hard earned zeny on something you will replace later on, however, if you do get more than Lvl 3, just keep it)

Late/End Game

Type	Gear	Where to Get	Notes
Upper	+12A Vesper Headgear [1] (19436)	Equipment Crafting	Sadly, we can't use Time Dimension Rune Crown because we're magic but Vesper is the best we can do. Can go +14 based on preference
Middle	Gambler's Seal [1] (410233)	Alice Twisted Madness	Really good flexible middle slot; Enchants to aim for: 9-10% increases all property magical damage, 9-10 S.MATK, 9-10% MATK
Lower	Ace of Spades in Mouth (Magical) (420213)	Alice Twisted Madness	Pretty straightforward combo with Gambler's Seal, Ideal enchants are +5 Int/Vit + +7 S.MATK/+7% Increases all property magical damage
Armor	+12A Soul Purification Rune Robe [1] (450280) or +12A Nebula Robe of Spell [1] (450173)	Varmundt's Biosphere Depth(Soul Purification Rune Robe) Constellation Tower (Nebula Robe of Spell)	Soul Purification Rune Robe Enchants: Vesper Headgear [1] (19436) , Vesper Headgear [1] (19436) , Vesper Headgear [1] (19436) Nebula Robe of Spell Enchants: Star Cluster of Spell Lv.3 (310688) , Nebula of Spell Lv.3 (310738) , INT+5 (4714) Why SPRR: Hands down the best damage and defensive armor with the current patch Why Nebula Robe of Spell: You're future-proofing for the upcoming HOL update because it becomes BIS by then
Weapon	+12A Flush Jewel Detector Mk47 [2] (510077) or +12A Dim Glacier Rogue Knife [1] (510075)	Einbech Weapons (Flush Jewel Detector Mk47) Issgard Equipment (Dim Glacier)	Flush Jewel Detector Mk47 Enchants: Expert Magician Lv5 (311393) , After Attack Delay Lv5 (311394) Dim Glacier Rogue Knife Enchants: Glacier Flower Spell (Magical Grade) Lv5 (311458) , Glacier Flower Spell (Abyss Square) (311288) , Glacier Flower Spell (Abyss Square) (311288) Why Flush over Dim Glacier: Gives overall higher damage, extra Abyss Square 60% Damage is not to be sneezed at since it's our main damage source Why Dim Glacier over Flush: Well, because you're a cheapo, basically or you wanted the bonus +1SPL/CON and +3S.MAtk at +14/+15
Shield	+12A Mad Bunny-LT [1] (460020)	Alice Twisted Madness	Enchants: Attack Speed Lv.3 (310856) / Magical Lv.3 (310872) / HP Lv.3 (310875) Very well rounded shield which gives us all of the stats we want as AC. "But why these enchants" you ask? AC doesn't really use VCT as much unless you like hard casting like me, but then again, you just get it from other sources. We have no use for ACD, our main damage is a 3 second cooldown when casted. no amount of ACD is going to save us from that
Garment	+12A Death Rune Manteau [1] (480233)	Varmundt's Biosphere	Varmundt's Crystal(Glade) Lv5 (311876) , Spell of Varmundt Lv3 (310925) , INT+5 (4714)
Shoes	+12A Moan of Corruption [1] (470204)	Equipment Crafting	Best Magic-based Boots in the game, hands down. If you're not using this, it's probably because of drop rate boots. If not, just put the fries in the bag, lil bro
Accessory (Right)	Temple Rune Ring [1] (490304) or Stellar Spell Seal [1] (490136)	Varmundt's Biosphere (Temple Rune Ring) Constellation Tower (Stellar Spell Seal)	Temple Rune Ring Enchants: Brilliant Biosphere Gem (Boss Type) (311943) or Brilliant Biosphere Gem (Vibra-rupt) (311935) , Intelligence of Varmundt Lv5 (311958) , Fragment of Varmundt (SPL) Lv5 (311998) Stellar Spell Seal Enchants: Star of Spell Lv.5 (310711) , Star of Spell Lv.5 (310711)
Accessory (Left)	Temple Magic Ring [1] (490307)	Varmundt's Biosphere	Brilliant Biosphere Gem (Boss Type) (311943) or Brilliant Biosphere Gem (Vibra-rupt) (311935) , Intelligence of Varmundt Lv5 (311958) , Fragment of Varmundt (SPL) Lv5 (311998)
