Wand: Investing 9 points in Recovery is the optimal choice as it increases the amount of healing you can perform while also providing extra mana regeneration. The remaining 3 points can be allocated to Weaken, primarily for extending damage duration.

Dagger: Investing 9 points into Disguise is ideal as it provides passive defensives that will help you stay alive even when under pressure, being able to shrug off chip damage easier while the rest of 3 points can go Poison for a bit of extra damage and weaken chance.
