Mage builds prioritize spellcasting. Essential skills include Destruction, Mysticism, Alteration, Restoration, and Conjuration. Intelligence and Willpower are your primary attributes. High Elves and Bretons are excellent racial choices. The Atronach birthsign is powerful for experienced players, while The Mage offers a simpler magicka boost. Focus on increasing your spell schools and carrying plenty of Magicka potions.
