Only someone who has played a Wizard would consider a Magician versatile. Mages don't even get Root! (basically I agree with you though, the Wizard toolkit is simply appalling for 90% of EQ situations)

By versatile I was referring to the overall place of the Mage class in the game, rather than the breadth of their spells and abilities. Basically, despite their limitations, they can wear a surprising number of hats - i.e. they fit into a wide range of duos and trios for both XP and item farming, they easily slot into full groups as a DPS/utility, they can solo for XP amazingly well and solo grind plat very easily, they can PL decently (DS at low levels, pet reclaiming mid-high) and they have a limited but irreplaceable raid role with CoTH and are otherwise solid DPS and mana support.
All that being said, the lack of Root is annoying and constantly felt! Amazing how much difference that one spell can make to how a class plays.
