Well, it's tough if you don't have the right equipment, but if you have it it's not so difficult to solo as mage.
More difficult than fighters, yes, but not as much that it becomes unwise to solo as mage. With a q40 staff with elemental boni (Yubo or Capryni eyes as focus) it's quite easy to solo lvl 80 mobs with a damage - fear -damage - damage- fear -.... combo (spell range should be at least 40 meters, I usually use something between 40-43).
The main danger is (apart from pulling multipels) that the fear is failing. To counter this make a fear enchantment on your staff. Use the non-enchantment fear as regular spell (unless you don't mind to refill the staff after every 2-3 mobs) and use the staff only when a normal fear gets resisted.
The advantage of the enchantment is that it will cast the spell in 1 second and that it will cancel your current action. So, even if you are already casting the next cold or acid when you the the fear getting resisted the staff will still cast it 1 sec later. Of cource, THAT one could be resisted, too, but you can usually take the 1-2 hits until you have your 3rd try.
Not that one doesn't dies now and then, but with that combo I was lvling fairly fast during lvl 40-70 (at least as fast as warriors).
