Imrik's Starting Fire Mage Starting Trait List?
IMRIK's fire mage gets a random 10 influence tier trait at the start of every new Knights of Caledor campaign. Please note: without mods it is impossible to roll any trait that would not cost 10 influence.

I searched for the list of them but can't find them anywhere. Like others, I have rerolled this campaign many times to see what traits are there.

So far I've got:
Spry (+20% speed for this hero)
Primed (+10 Winds Reserve -10% miscast base chance)
Fortuitous (+20% Missile Resistance) Builder (-10% building construction cost local province)
Dampener (-8 Winds Reserve local region)
Thinker (+5% research rate, 3% hero action success chance)

Are there any other's I've missed?

Maybe Knowledgeable and incendiary? Dunno but I believe i've seen those two.

Not sure, I usually stop rerolling when I get Primed.

I feel like Fortuitous is better, especially considering we'll be getting the mage on the Sun Dragon, which is a big target, and then be using said dragon to fly around and cast spells near enemy ranged units

Primed is only one or two spells extra in a battle and speed of access to it declines with every cast and miscast chance is not even worth discussing

For me it's a toss up between Spry and Fortuitous of those listed here

While I can agree on the logic there, I still prefer Primed. Fortuitous is better on paper, but in practice, I find it to be less relevant. Since you're likely going to be running multiple dragons in Imrik's army anyway, just holding the mage back a bit and having her go in slightly later than the others, they just tank the shots instead of her. Before her dragon, the trait's usefulness is minimal at best. I'd end up taking Spry instead if I had to not go Primed as the speed helps get in range for spells and out again if needed, but its still unnecessary depending on how you're playing. Primed doesn't make a huge difference later on, but early on when you're not running followers and such with reserve bonuses, it can help you make good use of your spells.

That said, if efficiency is your goal what she gets to start off doesn't matter since you'd eventually want to swap in a 60 influence mage once you have one decently leveled up. Its why I go Primed as its the more useful early on if you ask me and Imrik can have a somewhat rough start depending on how you handle it.

We all have our preferences however.

Flammable - Ward save: 5% for Phoenix units
Dealer - Income from all buildings: +10%
spry is 10% move speed
I could have sworn I've gotten Incendiary before...

At one point in time (release or even pre-release) she could get "incendiary" as a starting trait (as seen in a few let's plays online). But i think they may have nerfed her down to only start with the weaker traits since then.

You're missing the mage version of 'Resistant' which gives +15% magical resistance. Some of your numbers are wrong: 'Fortuitous' grants only +10 missile resistance and 'spry' +10% speed. Maybe there're other traits, but they are all the 10 influence traits for mages, so you can check any older save and see the traits in the recruitement tab.

'Knowledgeable' has never been available for HE and in current patch all starting characters or characters get through an event will have low influence traits, so no 'inciendiary' either.

I forgot 'builder', I think it gives -10% building cost in local province.
