My parties are all really small, so i have to have each character be fairly good at a larger number of things. I've been starting Samurais as Mage (Hobbit), but only for L1, for the total of 35 free Skill points in magic. Then when they do get to start casting as Samurai, they already have green circles in 4 Realms.
I've also discovered starting as an Alchemist for either Ranger or Ninja--this allows you have the ability to mix potions right away, and a few more points in Dex if you want, and still qualify for the hybrid class (Hobbit only)
Other than that, because of the higher potential for damage and the stuff you can wear, once i get Portal with a Bishop, i switch them to either Lord, and continue the development of Divinity, or to Ranger to continue Alchemy.
Mage to Samurai sounds like it might be fun, i've never run a pure mage that many levels, but i think i'd wanna be a Sam sooner or later, even if just to have someone to wield Muramasa...or if your Srtaff skill is high from Mage, Zato, or even Zato as Alternate to the swords. And you could wear that lovely regenerator helmet...
(edit) why can't i learn to proofread?
