optimized basics of an anti mage build. 50% of hostile spells and dragon shouts nullified, 100% with race ability, 85% reduced power on the other 50%. get dragonrend to deal with flying dragons. The charges on the paralyze enchant are extended by the alteration cost reduction enchants, allowing for more/higher quality alteration spells that grant higher defense. Scales during playthrough by investing in already used skills, enchanting, and ranged attacks.
