Okay so I watched the video and basically he's full of ****. The "unavoidable magic" he talks about is absolutely avoidable (notice all the times he gets hit with it, he's just standing there; MOVE! It locks on to where you are when he fires, so just GET OUTTA THERE!). You can refill your magic by running so if you run low on health/sanity you can just run in circles building up your magic to restore it. The combat is actually very easy any time you have a melee weapon because you can cut the enemies' heads off and then they can't see you and just sorta flail around blindly. You can also cut their arms off so they can't even hit you.
If anything, the game is too easy.
