Playing a straight mage is probably best if your new to the class, so you have access to all the spells avaliable to you and not locked out of a school of magic like a specialist mage. Yes it is cool to have powerful offensive spells, but I always make sure that I have my defensive spells memorized first, so you won't die so easily. Spells like Mirror Image, Stone Skin, Spirit Armor, Blur, Improved Invisibility, etc. Then I am protected, so while my party (if any) is hacking away at monsters, I can stand back and fry monsters or summon my own monsters to help. Don't overlook spells that charm, confuse, scare monsters, they can sure change a battle over to your favor.
