There's only like ONE way of building mages.
Here are some early but tried and true ways to play the mage:
+
#Damage - stack Intelligence with just enough Wisdom in order to deal the most amount of damage in the shortest amount of time
+
#Utility - focus more heavily on Wisdom so you can spam your spells (lightning bolt, lightning bolt, lightning bolt, lightning bolt!!!!)
+
#Melee - instead of using wands, grab a sword and invest in Strength, Fortitude, Intelligence, and Wisdom, using your sword to attack on a normal basis then spamming your spells for a little bonus. The points you place in intelligence will increase the damage done by bonus elemental damage on weapons, making weapons with this type of enchantment favorable for this build.
+
#Another option is to stack Intelligence and Dexterity to get high damage, attack speed, and crit chance (with the added bonus of defense too!). You can then get a wand with +damage in a secondary elemental type to avoid resists. The wisdom you get from gear should be enough for AoE spells when things go bad.
+
#Find a mana-leech weapon (any will do) and grind dungeons spamming your lightning spell. At higher levels (10+) you can spam your charged bolt with more efficiency. Pump pure intelligence. No points in any other stats, the lightning damage you deal will keep your mana permanently full. This also works vice versa with a lifesteal weapon, rendering you nigh invincible all the way into level 70+ areas.

Mage with skills displayed

Overview

The magic-wielding Class in Hack/Mine. Specializes in spells and wands, starting with a Wand of Firebolt. Mages are powerful magic wielders. Cackling maniacally as they teleport and douse their enemies with fire and lightning is not unheard of.

There's only like ONE way of building mages. Stack Intelligence like there's no tomorrow, while putting a few points into Wisdom when you're running out of mana too quickly until you find a wand that regains mana.

For abilities, the obvious choice would be to spec into the flame breath ability. With a mana steal wand, you would be pretty much unstoppable and the fact flange breath has passive knockback really helps. However, you might have a bit of trouble with skeletons as you're required to ruin up to then first as the range of breath is too short.

Item List (Wands)

Wand - 1-3 OR 3-5 Damage

Yew Wand - 4-7 OR 6-9 Damage

Bone Wand - 7-11 OR 9-13 Damage

Burnt Wand - 10-15 OR 12-17 Damage

Great Wand - 13-19 OR 15-21 Damage

Arch-Wand - 16-23 OR 18-25 Damage

(Holy Bolt, Ball Lightning, Fire Bolt, Cursed Bolt, Ice Bolt, and Noxious Fumes)

Note that all wands have a standard version and a slightly upgraded version, the latter having both minimum and maximum damage increased by 2.
