It may be situational, but take a look at this:

Yes, if you use Amplify Magic on your self you take more magic damage
- don't do that. Except if the enemies don't have magic attacks,
and/or you have a healer whose healing also will be amplified.
Taken from a mage FAQ:
- Amplify Magic: This spell can be cast upon yourself or your group
mates and will amplify [increase] any magical effects on the
character; this includes healing spells as well as damaging spells and
effects. Uses: Very effective to cast on tanks when fighting against
pure melee targets; increases healing effectiveness. Each rank of this
spell increases its effectiveness on spell effects.
- Dampen Magic: This is the exact opposite of its sister spell Amplify
Magic. This spell can be cast upon yourself or your group mates and
will dampen [lessen] any magical effects on the character; this
includes healing spells as well as damaging spells and effects. Uses:
Very effective against casting targets that deal a majority of their
damage via spell/magical damage. This spell also affects damage
shields, such as Fire Shields, and in many cases lessens Elemental
creature melee damage [because it is considered magical, in nature].
Each rank of this spell increases its effectiveness on spell effects.
>PS. Is there any way to de-select talent points and put them elsewhere?
Yes. Visit your mage trainer and tell him "I wish to unlearn my
talents", or something like that - this will deallocate all of your
talent points.
It costs money to do this though. 1 gold the first time, then 5, then
+5 each time (10, 15, 20, ...) untill you hit 50 where it will stay.
