Complaining that humans mages are overpriced is beating a dead horse IMHO, everyone agrees. And I feel it badly because I like to play RB, and the only cost-effective pretender I can have is the GK, a pretty limited choice ...
To make them a little more competitive they should be in the 0-20 range (maybe 30 if they have an useful power like Enchantress or Sage...) and start with Dominion 2 (that's a 24 point saving if you go for dominion 4, as is the "standard" with such pretender.
Overall reduction will be like 50 pts. Still not a match if you plan to have some paths at 4+, but standard RB (level 2/6 paths) will at least have a decent price.
Another idea could be to make them Immortal, so having them killed (and that's pretty easy with their stats
)won't be such a game killer (the -1 in each path makes recalled RBs useless..). Let's pretend they master resurrection magic ...
