While I agree that fighter==>mage is the superior order in which to dual the two classes, there is something to be said for mage==>fighter as long as the dual takes place at a low level. Since the game allows you to cast spells from scrols and use wands while wearing armor, what you essentially have is a fighter who can also use wizard magic items for a sacrifice of a few hit points and xps. This wouldn't be very good in a party, but would be interesting to try in a solo situation.
