You should always start a full mage with 100 FOCUS and 100 SELF. The other attributes can be customized to your liking. If you can get a lot of twinking and care in the early (1-30) levels, you could opt for taking this character very extreme by starting with 100 STRENGTH.

After Level 9 you mix up the order in which you grab the next skills. You could even forfit a couple of them to grab a skill such as Bow for long range missle attacks (not recommended in most cases). By level 80 you could have every major skill available to you - including Arcane, Healing, Lockpick and Leadership.
