Agreeing with Kara (and speaking from experience) - an Arisen mage is quite boring. Most of the mage spells are available to Magick Archer, Mystic Knight and Sorcerer. Stat growth is better for them as well. Dropping anodyne boombs on undead is kinda cool, but unnecessary with the power destructive spells can pack. Plus, you may find yourself doing nothing but healing sometimes if you are the party healer.

Is mage viable? Sure. But I'm of the opinion that there are more interesting vocations to play.
