I am currently a level 46 female mage.
My favorite at the beginning was metorstrike,it worked well for lower level creatures. Until i found out about life leech!!! (Used it to defeat the Eye of the Cyclops Guardian, as well as the dragon) Elemental hail is great too, used it to get close enough to Josephine to get her with my sword.
One thing i would recommend - spend pionts on strenght!!!! I would not have been able to use the awesome swords i have without it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
