Orc discovers fire and quite likes it

Here’s an Orc Fire Mage from my 4e D&D campaign to yours, all primed and ready to roast a few PCs with his handy Staff of Fiery Might +1 (a useful Treasure Parcel for any aspiring Wizard) and Burning Hands spell. Add in a few lackeys and you’ve an instant Encounter to drop in and surprise your players who think Orcs are nothing but unthinking savages.

He’s far from perfect as far as monster builds go as I’m still getting the hang of 4e’s monster creation rules. Any advice, tips or tricks appreciated!
