I've started and finished the game about 7-8 times and now realise that I want a Battle Mage.

I first thought of all six magic schools, a weapon skill and an armour (proboably light armour for the saviour curaiss or whatever it's called) and two other skills, (probably Alchemy).

My dilemma is if I take all six magic schools Willpower will be no problem but I'm leaving myself short with other attributes and getting them increased.

Some questions...

1. What race? Bretons for magic, Redguard for combat, who could handle a mixture of both. Dark Elf perhaps?

2. What birhsign? I haven't gone with an Atronach yet, usually go wth the Mage with magic users as there's no drawbacks. But are these suitable for a Battle Mage?

3. Finally, do I need all six magic schools? Could I get away with 3 or 4? If so, what skills would be good for a Battle Mage.

I assume quite a few people have already run Battle Mages so would like to hear your experiences of them.

All advice gratefully received. Thanks.
