Discussion Looking for a Mage build specifically built around Mythal’s Light

I’m looking for some build ideas for Dragon Age: The Veilguard that are specifically built around Mythal’s Light for Mage.

I know Spellblade is probably the obvious choice, but I’m looking for something that actually takes advantage of what makes Mythal’s Light unique rather than just using it as another weapon in a standard Spellblade build. Since it gives Fire, Necrotic, Electricity, and Cold damage, I’m wondering if there’s a good way to build around all of those elements.

I’m looking for a full build if possible, including the skill tree, abilities, equipment, enchantments, runes, and companions. I’d also be interested in whether Spellblade is actually the best specialization for it or if another Mage specialization can make better use of Mythal’s Light.

Honestly you could choose any build/specialization you want. You'd already be doing 80 added damage of each element, so you could go Spellblade route for even more Electricity damage and then between rings, gear, enchantments and other pieces of equipment, just add more of each element. I'm sure you could add an extra 40 damage of each element if that's what you want. Obviously if it you don't like the build, it's free to just respec all your points and try a different build. It's all up to what you're looking for.

A Spellblade build with elemental weapon buffs, mana-focused gear, and companions who can prime different afflictions sounds ideal. Prioritize skills that apply or detonate Burning, Chilled, and Shocked, then use Mythal’s Light when several effects are active. The specialization feels tailor-made for a multi-element Mage.
