Tour had some good points on the kensai mage. I play one currently and love him. One area I would have to disagree on though is single weapon style. With all of the protective spells that you can cast (the list is immense but you got stoneskin,ghost armor,blur tensors transformation just to name a few) I think the need for those ac points is not that great. I suggest wielding 2 weapons for more hack and slash. also there are some real nice weapons you can throw in your off hand for their abilities. for instance if you go katana you can buy Dak'kon's Zerth Blade.This weapon is made for fighter mages and gives +1 ac (so now we recovered 1 ac from not going single weapon style) and you memorize and additional level 1,2,3,4 spell when it is wielded. There are tons of other cool swords I like to swap into my off hand as well for their abilities based on the situation (I got with celestial fury in my main hand most of the time).
Definatly dual on a level divisible by 3. I did it at 12 and I love my stats. You may get a bit anxious at around level 11 or 12 as a mage since it does take a long time to get to level 13 as a mage. I am interested in trying a kensai druid next. I am not sure how effective that may be but I think it would be cool (actually druids cast alot of stuff before and after fights so it seems to me it would work rather nice).
