being a mage in skyrim is way more flexible and an entertaining playstyle than a more traditional sword and board braindead playstyle
braindead melee users become my undead pawns to which I either keep them around as pets or have them immediately charge in as cannon fodder
I have an ethereal sword, twohanded axe, and a dagger that can be summoned into my hand(s) when I need them and with possibility of equipping a bow once the knowledge is learned although I am able to make due with projectile fire, frost, and lightning which are way more capable of destroying foes with ease where as I'd imagine a bow as a weapon for use in stealth missions
Because of the small amount of weight of my equipment I am able to haul tons of valuables like gold and gems to later sell to, for now increase knowledge, and later increase how much money I can make via more efficient means
