After having a shower and thinking through some of the tips here.
I know where I went wrong. I had taken on some mind tree skills thinking that they are useful but ended up squandering my runes.
I should have gone heavy Order and Distortion magic instead. With res at lvl 3, I can then take my time finishing up battles without losses.
I had instead taken a hybrid approach, thinking that Chaos 3 would help me but as has been pointed out, it's useless at beginning to even mid game.
Ok restart. As ANOTHER MAGE =).
I do engage in luring away guardians with limited success. It was enough to get me to map 6 I think, although I only managed to clear 3 maps.
