There are a ton of ways to play a Mage in Enshrouded, from the healing skill paths to alternating between staff and wand and focusing on either the Battlemage skill tree or the Wizard skill tree. This guide, sourced from Enshrouded mega-mind, Mordarim, covers a wand-using Wizard build with solid survivability and enough power to destroy just about any enemy in Enshrouded Early Access.
Enshrouded Wizard Build Gameplay

Early gameplay will be centered around spamming with your wand attacks while using throwable bomb items to AoE down groups of enemies. You'll also be kiting enemies a lot, so get used to backing up while spamming that wand.
You'll eventually be skilling into bonus passive health regeneration, as well as AoE damage via Chain Hit in the Wizard skill tree, both of which will be huge power spikes as you level your character.
Enshrouded Wizard: Best Stats
Intelligence is king! The ability to boost your magic damage by 5% per Intelligence point makes Intelligence scaling incredibly potent for all mage-style characters. Intelligence is always more valuable than Spirit which, by comparison, only offers a flat increase to mana pool.

Enshrouded: Best Wizard Spells
Due to the cumbersome animation of casting spells with your staff, it's recommended to use these spells sparingly, such as an opener to a tough fight or during windows of opportunity mid-fight. Your wand will make up most of your overall damage!
