Equipment

 * Ideally, Villnar's Glove as a focus item and the Wayward Wand (Curses) from the Adept of Bone as a weapon. These combine for a 36% chance to halve the recharge time of Curses (including a 4% chance of making it 4 times faster). This reduces the average recharge time of Spiteful Spirit to 8.1 seconds compared with 9 seconds with only one fast recharge item or the full 10 seconds with no fast recharge items.
 * Scar Pattern Armor is best for energy.

Staff

 * The Stonereaper for Curses
 * Ghial's Staff for Death Magic

I do not think you need anything special for Blood Magic. Decreasing CT/SR will probably just influence you to sacrifice you to death.

Wand

 * Wayward Wand with Curses/Death Magic +1 (20%), HSR (20%), +5 Energy (while Health above 50%)

Unfortunately Bortak's green Items do not decrease SR, so I am not a big fan of them. Although it is important to use a corps before an enemy can do that, I believe that HSR is better than HCT. Probably both is the best compromise. That's why I think the following weapons are optimal (in many situations, and as long as max energy is no problem):


 * Wailing Wand and Bone Spiral Rod from Gertrud both with HCT (20%) and HSR (20%) of Curses/Death Magic spells

The trade-off for those weapons is that the skin is not so nice.
