Late Game Magic Research and Item Creation

[Come_Get_Some]

Being still new to the game and having learned much about the early and mid-game strategies, I'm now trying to figure out what works the best in the latter stages of the game. Specifically, I'm curious what combinations of magic and magic items become more important. I know this is obviously dependant on one's race and pretender, but I figured there are still some general strategies to follow. I'm particularly interested in Arcosephale's options.
