So unless you're really in love with one of the spells I mentioned, Xzar is a fine choice for a mage.
You'll be using Mirror Image up until the final battle of ToB, and at such a low level, Mirror Image is usually the deciding factor between life and death for a mage. Xan doesn't make the cut either, come to think of it... No Magic Missile? No Fireball? These are also spells you use up till the end.

True, you can make them work. My question is, why make things harder on yourself?
