For a mage the first and of course last levels are the hardest.  
As a mage you must not run out inot battle in a crowd , at least not
till you have mana shield and even then its not agreat idea.
You should get your strength up to 30 then concentrate totally on
magic.  The more magic you have the more mana you have,
and when you get mana shield you will want to ahve as much as
possible.  Read as many books as you find, avoid almost all shrines
especially random ones (which may reduce total mana permanently)
and concentrate on finding  books and items that raise your strength
thus allowing you better armor, also items that increase mana or hp.
Concentrate on getting monsters one by one, and if you see one get a
book of mana shield, thats the biggining of the mages true power.
