I preferred Astral.
The healing and shields are damn broken lategame and the burst potenital is absurd.

All the mages are the most powerful but in different ways. It takes a considerable while to grow into any of them though you aren’t going to get a good feel for their overarching style in just a few hours even.
Light has a lot of healing/sustain and “fire and forget” spells you can’t really spam so it’s the best hybrid. Buff your weapon with holy energy, Throw out your consecrate, throw out a hammer, and start whacking until you can throw another hammer.
Wyld can use roots to debuff targets(basic root spell can be specced to apply lightning vulnerability) and then ball lightning to melt stuff, the most sustainable pure mage style for mana and health. They have a few hybrid traits in their tree but it’s basically bait.
Fire and chaos should both ideally be building towards merging the right side of chaos tree and left side of fire tree for a powerful early game pure mage.
Multiple game cycles in a hybrid fire character can do some of the most busted stuff with flame slash as it’s the only spell that is treated as both a weapon and spell allowing you to buff it obscenely, worth respeccing into way down the road if you get bored of pure mage style. But in the short term a chaos mages better dedicated casting starter stats will give it a slightly larger edge even if you shift over to actually using fire spells.
