yes, that's how it works. A Strength build should use other skills than Ruinous Sigil and Great Cannon, because the magick component is very weak.

However, using a magick-only build for MK is not particularly fun because stamina, strength and defenses suck so much. Such an MK can't take a physical hit, and playing from a distance using a cannon as a t-ball gets boring and old. The staff skills are very powerful, though-- but that's not what I want from the MK when I'm playing one. ;)
