Playing high elf mage with spells only

Question

I bought Skyrim a few days ago and have only been playing it for a short while. I am playing a high elf mage and would like to know if you think it would be possible to play with spells only or will I need to invest in a sword, mace or maybe a shield?

Answer

I have made a pure mage (high elf) with just using destruction for damage, but here are a few pointers:

  • Yes, join the college asap. By the way you can get a carriage from the whiterun stables to winterhold for some gold (50), so thats as good as fast travel. You can get a nice spell like summon flame atronach for only 30 gold while joining the college. (I do not want to spoil it too much for you)
  • Get the impact perk from destruction if thats your only source of damage (it is for me)
  • My mage build and a small discussion about is at this link

(There might be small spoilers), hope this helps
