How do you set up your mage to auto cast spells, either attack or healing?
I'm a little confused on magic in this game.

There is no auto-casting of magic the way you're looking for. It's a manual process.

What you want to do is pause by hitting space, then issue orders for your party members (including casting spells), hit space again to resume, and repeat when necessary.
You CAN set them to autocast - go to the record screen (where you see their level), hit 'Customize', then 'Scripts', and pick a script. I know the BG2 engine comes with a ton of spellcasting options, so just pick whichever one you want.

That said, I HIGHLY recommend just doing what GoJays said - no autocast will be able to match your own judgment on what spells to cast and when.

Thanks to both of you guys.
I kind of thought that was the case. I would just like an auto-healing mage around if you know what I mean... ;)
