You don't need to put anything into class skills. What if you just want a plain jane mage with no skills in Arcane shield tree or any specializations. Gives you a epic spread of abilities but leaves your arse so squishy. Thats what I did with my second mage.
The mage sustained abilities are like castable buffs - I still classify them as spells myself.
