Ok I'm not sure how much I can really contribute to this topic, but I have made multiple mages and usually fail. Though I have a druid that is fairly high level at the moment. I'm doing the exact same thing in doing with my mage as I did my druid because the are similar in some ways. Like my druid runs out of energy soo fast mainly from natures touch which is maxed at 20/20 it cost 84 energy.
First off my mage is only level...35 I think lol I can't remember something around that. So I don't really have new skills so I don't know much about that. But right now the only thing I have that takes a lot of energy is energy shield which I hate for that reason so I use fire cloak instead. It's pretty effective. I also try to balance out my skills until I get to a higer level and use rebirth and/or alteration books. This is my input if it sound irrelevant then I'm sorry I didn't read all the post.
