But surely, if you are not bothering much with the wands, then you are much better of just playing a normal mage. 2 extra skills half invested are quite a handycap. I've started a mage myself and the best use I found for wands is basically as beefed up scrolls. Use their special abilities and then drop em.
It feels to me that the dual wand mage is supposed to be a different beast altogether, perhaps a mage who focuses only on one school, and uses his wands for the rest of the damage.
For mages that want to focus on the classic 3-4 schools, the wands feel like a waste of point that is only useful for the first area.
