Hmm im playing a mage at the moment and doing very well. The trick with the mage is 2 boost Magic and your Offense Defense stat's.

as 4 spells you defently need 2 get lockpick 2 lvl 5 also learn the self-healing as u can also heal summoned monsters.

You will also need a couple of projectile spells.

In the eairly stages i fancied the meteor cos it woz quite damaging even on the first setting! as i got more point i started 2 boost other stretegic spells.

Lightning defently get this 1 2 at least lvl 2 as it come's in very handy aginst Orc's Lizard Men Mounten Troll's but not imps 4 some reson imps seem almost imperviouis 2 lighting!!!!!

When u get the right lvl you should really activate the Shadow spell.

This spell is ideal 4 reconisense as u can wonder though an entire enermy area as long as u dont attack any-one!!!

I also recomend lvl 2 on the skeleton wall as well as this can b very handy 4 running interferance if u need 2 re-gen!!

You should also rais your alcomy stat's(Unless u use the duplication trick!!)

You really should invest your magic stats in 1 of the other catergris!!!!
I found the "Path of the Crossbow or wot ever it's called very usefull!!

It bascily improve's your accurcey as well as hit damage!! and as a mage staying out of direct trouble is very handy!!

DO Not Try To Use Close Combat Weapon's With A Mage Untill You Have a Very Very Healthy Life Counter/Magic Counter.

Example I woz playing the mage and i came accross 1 of the vampire's i kept loseing untill i relised that magic worked better so I procedded 2 Electocute the Vamp and he very quickly melted <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
