Instead of using spells almost only for damaging enemy units try more different tactics. Very efficient and even more for a mage is to combine target and a protection spell on a strong unit to distract enemy long range (that won't work as well against non long range units). Try more spells like traps, phantom, invisibility, any protection spell like stoneskin, and so on.
For rage skills try think use them each time in first rounds of all fights if they are low level they'll level up fast. Reaper and Lina are the best choices at this point of the game but the two other can be useful too.
Sleep doesn't work against undead, that makes dryads less interesting for this part of the game even with the ruby. Lake fairies (or sprites) are an interesting choice for a low level unit but without time back well developed it's not that good. if you go for this sort of choice you'll have to drop any dwarf unit (cannoneers, dwarves, giants) to avoid morale penalty.
Like Elwin suggest you could drop the ents and get one more range unit. Inquisitors hit hard the undead but not Dragons because they have a high magic protection. The problem is that you probably haven't get enough of them and didn't used sacrifice to increase their stack. Archmage aren't a long range unit that hit hard but their shield skill is very handy to protect a stack. Also their small teleport skill has many interesting use case.
I would also drop the dwarves to try something else, perhaps unicorns or black unicorns if you already have some. But polar bears could be an interesting choice. At this part of the game you probably don't have yet Horsemen or knights in numbers high enough and it's a bit late to start using sacrifice to get a bigger stack of them. If you can have them, any of them are a quite good choice to replace the dwarves.
Emerald Green dragon is a possibility but then you'd better drop the giants to avoid morale penalty. If you want drop the giants then those are an interesting choice you should try.
