Pyro only isn't really possible without glitches or summons since Queelag is fire immune. But Sorcery+Pyro "spells only" should be fine. Enemies tend to be resistant to damage types, not general "magic", so if you can switch it up you're all good. Dukes archives shouldn't be a problem if using Pyromancy.

The problem with pyromancy is that it is low on uses - and there's so much fodder in the Archive, I'm afraid it will feel more like playing Resident Evil in Dark Souls (= avoiding most enemies because ammo is too precious).
It probably will, but I think it should be doable. I haven't tried it personally though so ymmv.
How can you even beat Seath? I feels like unless you do a glitch run it's not possible to get through those part you mentioned.
Edit: if "magic" you mean spell casting, which include pyro and miracle, then i think it's possible, but take a bit of patient.
I mean any magic, not just sorcery, yeah. I want to believe it's doable.
Totally doable me think, you just have to run a lot to conserve your magic use.
Immolation-only run is possible, so sorcery + pyro would be fine. Pyro glove is the most useful part of a SL1 playthrough in DS1.
I would watch this on YouTube.
Specifically Dark Souls 1, or also 2? Probably 1 since it's harder, but my friend did sorcery and crossbow only runs in 2.
Either
