For those of you with any knowledge about Bloodborne (as Gem's comments have implied he is) and are interested, I am running an arcane build so I can use all the weird toys in the game (shoot skulls, lasers, make tentacles burst from my arms, and take full advantage of elements). First thing I did was get my Arcane stat up to 25 and need to get it to 50 asap.
Trouble with this is I have to sacrifice the strength and skill stats, which govern how much damage weapons normally do, making for a... somewhat difficult beginning of the game. However, I wield a pair of weapons now that take advantage of my arcane stat.
In Mina's left hand, she wields a +6 flamecaster, which has elemental damage that scales with my Arcane stat. You can briefly see me using it against that last boss to confirm what I already suspected, that fire does little damage to the fire monster.
In Mina's right hand, she wields the +6 Tonitrus (the lightning wand). Its normal attack damage is absolute crap, but instead of transforming like most of the weapons in the game, it instead charges with electricity for seven or so seconds which makes it do tons of damage. The Tonitrus is just a temporary weapon until I find something better...
