Don't play the game as a mage - you will get bored quickly!

Not to mention you actually need only 2-3 spells. I caught myself doing stupid things just for the sake of doing something different.

You are partially right, partially wrong. I am doing my first playthrough with a mage because i want to learn all the spells, units and game mechanics the comfortable way, without biting off my nails to the elbows. Early fireball is 'imba'? Don't use it, use something other if you are confident enough. Once i learn to play, i will restart the game and play it again, with the warrior, this time not on normal, but on hard (impossible is for geeks anyway ).

All in all, as the guru said: YMMW, your mileage may vary
