Pure mage? o.o Wow, that's a rather tall order, hope it work out for you. BTW, which school is your mage specializing in? Destruction/Conjuration/Restoration/what?

As a PURE mage, you can't really specialize in anything without getting wrecked. At least in Skyrim. Each magic spell compliments another, it seems. My current setup is firebolt/lightning stream, stoneflesh, Bound Sword(not as useful as it may sound, not yet anyway), Courage for Faendal, Flame Atronach, and Raise Undead for those times where I really want to mob something.
