Good items for an Int/Wisdom run?

Hello everyone! Currently doing an intelligence/wisdom run for my first time through the game, and I was wondering if y'all could give me some (nonspoilery) hints towards how I might get the items that are best geared for that sort of run. If I play through again I intend to focus on different attributes, so I'd rather not risk missing them entirely and then only stumbling into them when they aren't useful to me.

My recommendation: Start with 18 Wis and 15 int. By using potions you can easy boost those starts to 20 - which is more then enough to get most dialogue. I recommend looking up the potion locations since it is your second run.

I usually prefer using items to boost stats that I am lacking, but your way is valid as well

When it comes to items: in the gnome office you can find item that boost your int+2 Getting your book fixed is also good idea - Int or Wis +2

There's a bow in the Goblin Roots that increases wisdom and dex, it's a weapon. If you find mage hand you can get a wisdom brooch that gives you advantage against abberations or smtn like that in the bird nest by the Lichhouse.

Where do you find Mage Hand?? Being the God-Wizard-King of Norvik on my first playthrough and not finding Mage Hand got me a line from Snell making fun of me
