You can specify any attribute for a class to drive spells from. If
you've been following the Battlemage tutorial, go to the Class Helpers
tab in the editor and select the Battlemage. Click the linkage button
and one linkage is shown that selects the attribute - although this is
"aCHA" by default, meaning Charisma, you can change it to aDEX for
dexterity or even aSTR to use Strength. We'll be streamlining this a
little in a future update.


Hope this helps,
