Morrowind:Leles Birian

Leles Birian is a Breton mage who can be found by the road in the Ascadian Isles region. To find her, go due east on the road from Piernette's Farmhouse. She is also due west of Dirara's Farmhouse and north-northwest of a small, unnamed farmhouse owned by Travelling-New-Woman. Leles is the Master trainer for Destruction, and she also offers high-level training in Mysticism and Restoration as well as a selection of mostly high-level spells (oddly enough, none of them in Destruction). She can also make custom spells for you, making her one of the few non-faction-affiliated people to offer this service.

Morrowind:Marayn Dren

Marayn Dren is a Dark Elf mage and Apprentice in the Mages Guild. He offers spells and training at the Balmora branch of the guild. He may give you a small clue during the Stolen Reports quest, but is otherwise uninvolved in any quests. He is a medium trainer in Destruction and Mysticism, a minor trainer in Alteration, and one of only two people who can sell you a Water Breathing spell.

Marayn wears an extravagant robe along with an expensive belt with matching shoes and carries 25 gold. 

In addition to his natural resistance to fire and the sanctuary provided by his ancestors, Marayn knows an impressive selection of spells, namely those which he offers to teach as a Spell Merchant.

Morrowind:Masalinie Merian

In addition to the usual duties of offering quick transport to the other Guild Halls, Masalinie also has a selection of spells for sale. Both of these services are available to fellow Guild members and non-members alike, though naturally those in the Guild will receive a significant discount. She will have a little info for you regarding the Stolen Reports quest, but she is otherwise not involved in any quests.

She wears an expensive robe with a matching ring and shoes. Aside from her natural bonus and resistance to magicka, and her ability to shield herself for short periods, she knows a wide variety of spells. Specifically, these are the spells she will sell to you.

Quest-Related Events
You can ask Masalinie if she knows where Galbedir put Ajira's reports. She will only answer this question, however, if she finds you trustworthy enough to do so:
stolen reports

[Disposition < 60] "Oh, no! Don't ask me. I didn't see a thing."''

Spells
Masalinie teaches the following spells:
