Yeah but you can still play as a mage/sorcerer and max out your rank in both vocations, assuming you have enough discipline left, and you should if you're level 200 and have never played as a mage/sorcerer. You will have at least 2 augments become available that would suffice to significantly increase your magic. Acuity and attunement. If you equip them both, it will increase your magic by around 600. Also, you can buy demon's periapts from fournival. It says they're a lot cheaper after you get him found not guilty in the quest trials and tribulations, but I haven't completed the quest to find out just how much of a discount he gives you or even researched the amount because I can't seem to bring myself to help the SOB. Anyway, demon's periapts also increase your magic by 20% each  (stackable up to 4 at once; 80% tooal increase) albeit only a temporary stat buff. I think they last about a minute each. So that's what I do for boss fights that require high magic output. I leveled up as a warrior until level 100 to get a massive health pool. Then assassin after that. Sometimes need high strength bonuses, in which case I use conqueror's periapts in the same fashion. Now it's been a couple of years, but hopefully, this strategy might help someone else.
