For 5 mana and 15 gold less, Lesser Skeletal Mage does the same for attacks, and scales slightly better.
This trend continues to the final level of both towers where Skeletal Wizard is doing 36-51% compared to this towers 25-40.
The only advantage this tower has is casting 2 seconds faster, assuming you can maintain the mana regeneration to support it.
Skeletal Wizard has double the base mana regen. Just touch it up in some way and it'll be good to go.

It's still just a worse skeletal mage. You get this quite early in the game, when you don't have much spell damage. And this one's mana regen is lower and the mana cost is higher.
High mana cost (relative to mana regen) is fine if the ability has increased power to match, but the cooldown also needs to be shortened too.
I say reduce the cooldown, and either increase the spell damage taken % or add reduced life regeneration.
