I would doubt it. Arcane Wonders will probably reserve something that different for a new Mage instead. Maybe an arcane and mind one?
If you're looking forward to a Chronomancer, the bad news is that several new Mages have just been revealed (in the new podcast). If the Chronomancer is even a thing, it won't be coming out for a very long time.
I wouldn't be so sure - a previous Magewars Monday hinted heavily that there was a clue to the new mage's abilities in the picture...

For reference:
Is the staff in her mage art a
Staff of Storms? The art certainly makes her look more in-tune to nature than the existing male wizard. Thematically, perhaps she regrets the decisions made by Sortilege Wizards to manipulate the natural world that resulted in the Darkfenne abominations?
Looking at promos and such, I could see her getting discount(s) for the Air (and possibly Water?) elemental school(s), and an ability that might give her Damage Type +1 for "Wind" (and possibly "Hydro"?) attacks. This would work well with the
Gale Force Ring (which doesn't directly increase damage),
Wind Storm and
Sandstorm attack spells, etc. Her image also shows up on
Acid Blast, which may or may not imply some training in the Water school. In terms of creatures, there seem to be a lot of Nature-school promo creatures that could work with her, including
Oscuda (who has a poisonous "stink cloud" attack),
Lightning Beetle, . Her spell book might also feature the
Gloves of Skill to help with her ranged Wind attacks, and
Lightning Strike might help her melee creatures. And having some sympathy for Nature might also be reflected in
Raincloud. Aside from that, I wouldn't be surprised to see
Wall of Poison Gas show up with her (and maybe more copies of [mwcard=MW1J18]Poison Gas Cloud[/mwcard]?). And of course any expansion that includes a Wizard would be a good place to print
Mordok's Tome.
I could see her in a Kumanjaro-like expansion paired off against the male Forcemaster. His spell book might feature
Wall of Force,
Chitin Armor (to counter the Wizard's Acid Blast),
Flame Strike (mostly to compliment Lightning Strike, but emphasizing the aggressive style of the Forcemaster), and presumably a bunch of Mind-school spells we haven't seen yet, including something that allows a mage to gain flying - perhaps just temporarily, maybe via a "Levitate" Incantation?
