Having played a full game as warrior, from my experience, i found it fully worth while. Setting aside the whole cost deal (i had ~30 extra might runes at the end, and nothing to spend them on cause i had everything useful maxed), i disagree with your take on how far spirits level. I fully leveled (or nearly) both reaper and zerock (the two i ended up finding most useful) and lina and sleem were only a few levels behind. This is on NORMAL difficulty.
I say, get first level early, even as a mage. It makes a difference. A mage needs all the help he can get if he wants to improve the rage spirits, and a warrior, who relies more on them, should try to get master of spirits maxed pretty soon. Not soonest, but fairly soon.
Each level adds +10% gain, which is HUGE. It isn't retroactive, sadly, but that's all the more reason to get it soon. A lot of people rush to get the rage chest so that they can level them early and quick, and Master of spirits will only help.
