I use my mage as a pure mage too. My DK is a warrior with one handed sword skill points in slashing and shield. My Mage uses a staff (two handed) and spells. No skill poionts for crushing or slashing for my mage. I have invented most of my skill points in one spell up till now thus I made it pretty strong. The only problem is that it has a big cost in mana but I will fix it adding some more points in my intelligence.
