Help tweaking pretender

[Heironeous]

Recently I've been messing around with Abysia using a fire-9 moloch. Flare/Fire Darts + blessed lava warriors do quite a number on the independents in the early going, and later on combos like Heat From Hell + Fire Storm can be pretty impressive.

My question is in regard to support magic for my pretender. A little air (+precision, aim, mirror image, mistform) or water (quickness) are obvious choices. The problem is that the moloch's ugly new magic cost effectively makes this a 2 positive scale hit - dropping me from magic 3 to magic 1. Also, increased variety of spells isn't always a good thing: more spells means more possibilities for stupidity once the 5 spell script runs out. So, is the trade-off worth it? My initial reaction is to stick with pure fire, but I'm no expert and would definitely like to hear other opinions.

If your willing to really give up some points i find a F9W4 blessing moloch to be extremly powerful while also having alot of utility. I havn't tried that combo with Abysia much as i tend to gravitate towards the VQ when i can (shame on me) but i've found it very successful for Vanheim.
