A very versatile mage for all around play would be magery/eval/meditaion/resist/wrestling and inscription. I ran a wrestle mage like this for quite a while and love the template. I still use him, but he now also has spellweaving and poison on soulstones so I can turn him into a couple different types of mages depending on what my guild or I are doing. As was mentioned, a necro mage is also an excellent template. I run mine mainly doing spawns. Wraith form, summon wisp and wither equals BAD news for spawn stuff lol.
