Unless you plan on putting up spell protections before triggering every single trap (or just taking the damage), I would recommend Jan for his thieving skills, which come in convenient in lots of situations. You could also make use of his Use Any Item ability if you have TOB to make him into a pseudo-tank with all the armor and swords that would be useless otherwise for your all-mage party. Of course if you want more higher level spells you could go with Imoen; her thieving skill points are sufficient to complete the game with, too. I wouldn't take Nalia unless you want to do her quests, because Imoen and Jan can do both magery and thievery better. Good luck~.

If you want lots of spells you might want to try Tashia or Kelsey mods. Oh and Aerie would be a good choice as well. I would take Jan up until you get Imoen she a good enough thief for locks and traps.

You know you could make up your own party of mages instead of recruiting NPC's since most NPCs are multiclassed and do not get to a high level with the uber spells very quickly. (Although you wouldn't get the individual character plots.)

Take the spell caster Edwin with Minsc <lol>

Imoen is annoying.
Nalia is just as annoying.
Jan does have the flaming skulls.

Nah go for Edwin.

I like to have an NPC party rather than a party consisting only of my own characters. The banters are sometimes just too funny and hilarious and it makes the game more interesting.
A better solution would be to use shadowkeeper and change their classes slightly to get what you want. Thief/Wild Mage Nalia, Thief/Sorceress Imoen, Cleric of Lathander/Mage Aerie, Archer Minsc... that kind of thing. Sure it's a bit like cheating but if you want banter, subquests and try some specific kits then why not?

Jaheira is debatable, but Minsc a "pure mage"? :0
