It depends on what exactly you're wanting to do with the Mage, or if the cold spells in Elemental are worth picking up just to reach the end bonus. If I was going to go with a Mage who was entirely focused on damage, this is what I would go with (no particular order either, and I'd respec Mind Blast out for a free point). This is also for any difficulty below Nightmare. I would not use something like this for Nightmare.
Elemental
1. Fireball
2. Pyromancer
3. Firestorm
Spirit
4. Spirit Bolt
5. Walking Bomb
6. Spirit Strike
7. Corrosive Walking Bomb
8. Virulent Walking Bomb
9. Death Syphon
10. Death Vortex
11. Spirit Mastery
Force
12. Fist of the Maker
13. Unshakeable
14. Telekinetic Burst
15. Gravitic Ring
16. Maker's Hammer
17. Maker's Fury
Primal
18. Chain Lightning
19. Tempest
20. Chain Reaction
21. Stone Fist
22. Petrify
23. Strikes Twice
24. Dessicate
25. Galvanism
Entropy
26. Hex of Torment
Someone might argue that this doesn't really benefit the group because there's no damage granting auras and only one CCC, but it doesn't matter. Almost none of the enemies outside of bosses need any kind of real damage bonus to overcome easily, and your spells will more often than not surpass most of what those bonuses would have granted anyway until you're already at the end of the game. This build can take GREAT advantage of staggered enemies, and to a lesser extent disorient.
