Hi Hassan!

So, are you going to be GOOD or EVIL? If you're going to be evil, don't play a Conjurer. There's already a great one waiting for you. If you're going to be good, consider playing one. They're very powerful.

If you're new to magic, consider playing an elven or half-elven Fighter/Mage. You'll be able to take decent damage (as a Sorcerer or Conjurer could not) and, should your arsenal of spells run out, you'll be able to jump into the fray, blade(s) flashing. Having a fighter equipt with Stoneskins, Protection from (Normal/Magical) Weapons and Normal Missiles, etc. is quite fun. I recommend taking proficiencies in one-handed weapons, for you will be unable to wear armour and therefore a shield is doubly important. Long Swords and Flails spring to mind as useful.

Hope this helps,
