Might Tree skills for mages?

[iregev]

Early on don't waist your runes on glory. beside level 1 required to open up reserve. A mage on impossible needs every mind rune he can get.

I find that for mage the key is to have the initiative every turn to cast first (especially against black dragons) and that's why I always try to get onsluaght / dark commander first
One garunteed way to have be the first one to act at the begining of every turn and not just the first round even against blackies is to have dark commander (+2 initiative to undead) and carry Necromancers / ancient Vamps, Zombie wife helps but you want frog wife as mage.

The other garanteed way is to have demonesses or lake faries and Anga ruby but I prefer Necromancer since they compliment mage well (read in the forum for combo)
