For effectiveness it depends, of course, on the situation and the sort of opposition you are facing.
On more general terms, I feel like anyone who does not make an effort to explore the wonderfully complex magic system in this game deprives him/herself of one of the best aspects of the game. But everybody is free to pursue is own way to eternal happiness. ------------------ So long ! R³ - Co-president(s) of the Club of Broken Hearts |

Although he was speaking about the Force, I believe Darth Vader's quote applies also to magic: "The power of this station is insigificant next to the power of the Force." Note also that Artemis Entreri himself, easily one of the best three fighters in the world, knew that he could defeat battle mages when he could prepare the battlefield before a confrontation, but a properly prepared battle mage could easily defeat Entreri (and was doing so, until a timely intervention). In short, I believe magic is more powerful (but do read "The Art of War" for the benefits of proper preparation).

I recall an old signiture on the old board saying "If all else fails, charge in swinging"......
I prefer to use magic (an important support) to soften up enemies (during big fights like dragons), but the killing blow is usually either with Celestial Fury or Crom Faeyr by my berserker/mage. Like Tobbin said, both are good. ------------------ Long live H22A1!!!!! |

I would choose magic because it's a lot more intresting,and there are so many things to do with magic,it's just nothing compared to swords.
