Bard
The bard uses no armor and relies on spells to keep them safe, using conjuration, illusion and alteration as defensive; their only offense is a bound sword. Used correctly it will be used sparingly as your enemies will tear themselves apart from frenzy spells with the help of the undead you raise (or atronachs). Alteration is your main defense so always maintain your flesh spells, Restoration is your net, should you take damage.
