You will probably want to go for a weapon with good dexterity as leveling dex will increase the casting speed of sorceries from level 30-45, which is key to a mage build. Examples of weapons with good scaling are the great scythe, balder side sword, uchigatana, iaito, and the falchion. The best route to go is standard +15. If you choose not to invest in dexterity (I don't advice you to do so) then enchanted weapons will work. However know that weapons upgraded this will do overall less damage and cannot be buffed

The ideal catalyst to use depends on your int level. Every catalyst has a MagicAdjust, which is unique to the catalyst. This is essentially your damage. At low levels, the Oolacile Ivory Catalyst has the best MagicAdjust, but it doesn't scale with increasing int levels so later catylysts like Sorceror's and Logan's will overpower it. The Tin Crystallization catalyst has the best MagicAdjust but it halves spell usage (spells with 2 or 3 uses can only be used once) so use it at your own discretion.

As for spells, Soul Spear and Homing Soulmass are very powerful, especially in boss fights and pvp, until you get the crystal versions of them later in the game. The variations of soul arrow can suffice for killing mobs. Also weapon buffs (Crystal Magic Weapon is the best) add huge magic damage to your melee weapons. Every weapon I mentioned earlier can be buffed for as long as you took it down the standard upgrade route. The extra magic damage procs will each hit, so fast attacking weapons like the falchion would be ideal if you prefer this route.
