I also dislike followers since they get in the way and prevent me using my spells. My offensive options magic-wise are either Conjuration or Destruction.
I will definitely need Stealth and Illusion so I should should start sneaking everywhere and casting Fury and Muffle, I guess. I have just started out out playing a a High Elf stealth-mage in Skyrim and am wondering how to build up my character.
