I haven't tried a mage yet, but I did try a Samurai once and the same rules applied there. Since you can't learn from books, you'd have to be very strategic with a mage in terms of which spells are worth learning at level up. It's a very different strategy than with a bishop since I usually go with a single bishop that learns all the spells. With a mage, you're going to have to focus on narrowing down exactly which spells are the most powerful, especially at the higher levels, and you're probably going to feel alot of frustration at that point when you find yourself carrying around so many high level spell books that are completely useless to you. When you have to make a choice between learning your portal spells or taking a heal all or psionic blast, that's sounding like a headache I wouldn't wish on my worst enemies. So much easier with a bishop when you can get all the level 4 and 5 spells from books in one go. Still, you do get to level up faster, and you'll be able to cast at a higher power level. If it were me, I'd take both a bishop and a mage and have them duel it out!
