I am playing a mage this time. It seems that I am forced to use a mace. How am I supposed to engage in melee combat with mage armor and stats?

The starting weapon for a mage is a mace, but you can easily switch to a different melee weapon (preferably doing magical based damage, to take advantage of your boosts to intelligence) or a bow. Until you get Magic Missile or Fireball up a couple levels you may do more damage with weapons than magic (I haven't played a mage).

Invest points into Magic Missile and Fireball OR Magic Blast, and you'll be able to avoid the need to fight in Melee by about level 10-12 or so.
