I am going to play a mage...so I have a couple of questions.
1)should I spend skillpoints on bows, 1h swords, or 2h swords? if so, what level should I advance the skill to?
2)when do I get to become a mage?
3)how much strength and dex do I need?

1) You don't need the skill to use those weapons, though being a little proficient wouldn't hurt. Each skill has two levels only, and some skills are required to advance others. For example, you need to have 1handed at level 2 before you can be trained in 2handed (...even though there's a notable exception, but you might find out later, I don't want to spoil your fun).
2) It depends on the camp you'll join. In one camp you'll get magic early, but you won't be able to max it out, while in another one you can get it only late in the game, etc.
3) You need dex for missile weapons only while it *might* come in handy to get at least a strength of 30. Though this would not be required of a mage.
If you want more spoilers, tell me.

Try to not use skill points until you've joined one of the camps or at least use 10-20 skill points only. You'll know why

1. Youīll need ~60% of your skillpoints to learn the magic circles. Plus some Mana. So you should save as many points as possible. Itīs even possible to avoid having to learn lockpicking.
2. Depends on the camp. Relatively early in the Old Camp.
3. I wouldnīt invest in dex because a mage has more than enough ranged spells. Str at least 44, to use a Custodianīs Blade.
Donīt invest too many points in Mana. All you need is enough for 3 decent spells in a row.

You want to be a good mage fast - you gotta join the old camp!
