I just recently came back to UO and decided to begin anew on Catskills, I started a new mage for PvM and so far I have decided that I want my template to be:

120 Magery
120 Eval-Int
120 Meditation
120 Spellweaving

The problem I am having is I can't decide what to add in, I was thinking either 120 necro / spirit speak or 120 chiv / 100 inscribe, or maybe there is some other combo?

Also any input on gear that I can / should use while amassing gold for the powerscrolls would be greatly appreciated. Am I aiming for capped FC/FCR, LRC, LMC, SDI, MR etc? Or is there something I should foucus on, this is for 100% PvM. The only things I have so far are a lame crappy resist LRC suit and a scrappers compendium w/ pendant of the magi.

Any input is appreciated.
