Attacks

Paper Barrage - She swings her book in front of her, firing 4 lines of pages at the player.
Ink Bolt - She holds her left hand back then swings her wand and fires an ink projectile at the player. If it hits them, it summons an Ink Demon to aid Maja. This projectile pierces through enemies and can therefore summon multiple Ink Demons in a single cast if it hits multiple players or summons (e.g. the skeletons created by Unholy spells).
Ink Splatter - She shouts "Flee interloper!" or "A taste of knowledge!", then creates a large ink area around her that explodes after a brief delay and summons an Ink Demon.
Summon Ink Demons - She creates a small burst of ink dealing damage in an area around her, shouts "Rise Demons! Accept these vessels!" or "Witness my little devils!", then disappears while 3 ink projectiles begin springing up out of the ground. These projectiles create Ink Demons upon landing and will also snare the player if they hit them. Maja reappears in a random location once this attack ends.
Consume - She shouts "A sacrifice is required!" or "Lend me your power!" before channeling to create a large book in front of her that shields an Ink Demon and begins to drag it towards her. If the Ink Demon is dragged all the way to the book, it slams shut around it, destroying the demon and healing Maja for a substantial amount of health. This ability can be canceled by killing the demon before it reaches the book.

At half health, she'll gain an additional attack:

Paper Cut - She shouts "Death by a thousand paper cuts!" or "The exquisite suffering of a paper cut!" or "Here is some mandatory reading!" or "Do you also thirst for research?!", and summons 7 lines of pages that fire at the player, followed by 7 more from a different angle after a delay. These projectiles are spaced further apart than those created by her Paper Barrage ability and can be avoided by standing between them.

Brutal Difficulty

On brutal difficulty, 3 Flying Books passively fly in circles around the arena and deal damage to the player if they hit them.

Paper Cut - She is now able to use this ability even before dropping below half health.
Consume - If she successfully consumes an Ink Demon, she now creates 3 ink blobs that fall in an area around her, summoning 3 new Ink Demons where they land.

Strategy

This fight is filled to the brim with projectiles, making counter and barrier spells (e.g. Blood Rite or Frost Barrier) extremely valuable to avoid taking damage. It is particularly important to avoid getting hit with Ink Bolt since this will summon more Ink Demons to assist Maja. Spells which summon minions (e.g. Ward of the Damned, Mosquito) are strongly disincentivized in this fight since they will easily get hit by Maja's Ink Bolt, allowing her to summon additional Ink Demons.
