Forgot how to enjoy Skyrim ?

Just started a mage char for fun. He is level7-8 now. How are the higher level spells? anyone playing a mage?

I greatly enjoy using the "Cloak" spells. That and summoning things is very fun. Essentially you can cover yourself in some kind of element. Very fun when using Flame Cloak and a Flame Antronarch or somesuch. Foes already burning take additional damage, afterall. Additionally, using Ice Spike on Dragons is a good idea. It drains their stamina, so they crash to the ground and cannot fly as easily. Blood and Ancient Dragons don't stand a chance.

One tip I can give, though, is that you shouldn't wear armor. There's a perk in Alteration that will give you 2-3 times armor from Alteration magic spells. Later you can also get a spell which reduces physical damage by a set percentage (85% I believe). Really no reason for armor at that point.

Then again I don't care about min/maxing anything so I'm sure someone will tell me the Mage Armor perk is stupid.
