I would personally focus on a more realistic set of goals and set the Epic aside as a secondary to pursue, if you end up honestly loving your mage. The first goal would be to get your standard focus items. The next goal would be to abuse the items and race for lvl 50+. I discovered that magicians are even faster at leveling than a fear kiting necromancer on the Blue server, so that isn't a problem. Lastly, do the research and legwork needed to get some moderate help in getting your Water staff from Phinny.
If you are able to make the long haul to lvl 60 and have the Water Staff, a focused max level Greater Vocerate: Water pet can make most tricked out rogues look over at its parse and start sweating. It is very strong. If you can make it that far, then it will be up to you if the final step for the Epic is worth it.
