Soloing a mage through BG1, with no imported items, just what you're given, would be, I would imagine, damn near impossible. A specialist mage gets an extra spell slot, sure, but think of those lovely times when you're ambushed by archers on all sides when you're unprepared... And I'm not even going to mention the encounter by the Friendly Arm Inn.
And Edwin gets extra spell slots from his amulet, I believe.
