One question- what is a mage and where does it come from? Looks rather like a magic using psion, but not quite.
As was said, but mistyped, the mage is from Elements of Magic. It's a supplement by Nat20 Press. Well worth checking out IMO.

On the 'Magic-using psion' front, the mage is modeled after the psion in the way they cast spells, including costs and free uses of 0-level (level+1 only, though). This includes the annoying fact that they deal a fixed amount of damage for each spell level of a spell list, altho the mage actually gets +1/level (max +x) to some of them.
 

TFO, I am a little confused about all the seeming hostility, it's not like the current material allowed isn't broken. I admit there are some nice things in those books but surely not stronger than anything Monte Cook has produced.

Btw, Official ECL of an (divine/arcane) lich is +3, read the rogue's gallery about that, I assume a psionic lich is the same-remember though, even liches aren't immune to attack modes.

The Mage looks interesting, fun stuff :)
 

I think I'll compile a list of 'common' effects that I will be using, seems like a nice helper for myself and also shows what I can do to the rest of you.
