If you want to get the edge on your enemies, magic is a great way of doing so. In true RPG fashion each use of a spell in Demon's Souls will deplete your mana bar, which can be restored by chewing down on some spices. Essentially spells are divided into 2 different categories.

The first is magic, which can only be used when you have an intelligence score of at least 10. Talking to Freke's Apprentice will introduce you to a number of these spells, so learn whatever you can. As I said earlier, you can never go wrong with picking Soul Arrow, but the truly powerful spells will become available later on when you save Sage Freke. The second category is miracles, which can only be used when you have a faith score of at least 10. The Disciple of God is more than willing to teach you a few in the Nexus, with both Heal and Antidote being incredibly useful.

So don't forget to get your requisite scores up if you want to cast spells like the best of them.
