Re: What next? I want to play full mage build.

I'd use those ID scrolls on the three biggest stacks of potions.

I'd stop skilling Spellcasting for now and work on getting some Hexes. Prism and Spray are both good and they'd benefit from more Hexes (and it's cheap).

I'd use something other than that staff to kill popcorn. Chaos can be bad...

Re: What next? I want to play full mage build.

Well, I agree for the chaos part, since there is an unlucky 115hp minotaur fighter ghost somewhere around dungeon 5. I have no idea how that monster got killed, but I decided to avoid it after my staff accidentally hasted it and i had to blink away. On the other hand, I am quite annoyed that I found no spellbooks at all, while in some games I would already have Iron shot and Orb of Destruction in the inventory.

Re: What next? I want to play full mage build.

Pop the character dump into code tags, it'll make it easier to read for us.

I don't follow my own advice, but if you want to use mainly spells to kill enemies then you should mainly train the spell-schools that kill enemies. In your case that would be conjurations to get the power on Searing Ray / IMB up and to get battle sphere castable. It is almost never a good idea to have spell-casting be one of the highest skills, although there are exceptions. This isn't one of them.
