what does already having mage epic have to do with the question?

The implication here is that a player with an epic'd mage should be long-term enough of a player on this server to know the answers to these questions. In short some are suggesting you bought your epic/character.
As mentioned several times previously. Mages and Necromancers feed clerics mana. Mages through summoning mod rods and dropping them. Necromancers through twitching.
Necros having Holgresh Elder Beads allows them to Lich and Lifetap DoT the eye to sustain Lich. Min-Max necros rolled Iksars. In Velious smart guilds will group all their Necromancers with a druid who has a regen BP. With group Regrowth necros only lose 5 HP a tick. With a Z-Heart they break even (rendering the Holgresh beads moot in a raid setting). If you group 4 necros, druid, bard and have bard doing regen song - again another great group setup in Velious for raids, beads are also moot.
They are more useful for pullers IMO. But in a solo setting it allows you to Lich and med without having to DoT mobs. Adding a VP Soul Well staff makes it even more efficient.
Beyond that there are no other legacy items worth getting for those classes that impact raid performance.
Magicians should expect to become very one sided. You may max out your dragon faction and them from then on you are a CotH and mod Rod bot on dragon raids where you aren't KoS. Never really using a pet or any detrimental spells. Though main Mages will have some purpose, you'll still want to maintain certain factions so you can be non-KoS to provide CotH support and Mod Rods.
