mages are normal,
specialized mages get an extra spells for each level, ok say you get to level 10 and you get a level 5 spell, you get 5 new spell slots for the spell level you got, wereas a mage gets 4 slots. id prefer a necromancer or a conjerer, cause they dont miss out on much, no you only get up to level 8 spells, level 9 spells are for more powerful mages (and cause of the exp. cap) so you'll probly get them in the expantion pack (or a exp. cap remover)
