Focused Concentration is frikin' king too.
Take it at rank 5, 5 Intuition, 5 Reaction, and then improved both of those and increased reflexes for a whopping 25+3d6 initiative and a defensive pool that's going to roll more than 90% of the incoming attacks you'll ever come across, and a heal spell with a suit of full body armour make those you might end up getting hit by relatively irrelevant.
Plus you get to run combat sense at 5 all the time as well, and with levitate you're flying. Just generally fantastic. I MAY pick up Mage Armour instead of increased reaction, but still.
I would also take a fetish-attuned indirect area combat spell, like ball lightning. That, with Witness My Hate, gives you a beautiful +2 damage with NO negative repercussions. That's solid as all hell, with your average starting character sitting at roughly 8 + (5*) damage on an area spell with only stun drain at 6 value with elemental damage.
