I love mages. Having to rely on wit and strategies with magic in order to survive and deal out damage is a pleasant change from the usual hack and slash methods. I love the fact that you don't need a weapon, and that you get by through intelligence as opposed to brawn. I also enjoy the versitility of being a spellcaster; you can evoke a 'magic missle' spell and have the equivalent of arrows flying from your fingertips, cast 'invisibility' or 'knock' and you can be better than any rogue, or cast 'spirit armour' and strut around as if you were a fighter wearing chainmail.
