Skyrim: what is the best race to choose to specialize in conjuration and destruction magic?
I already started an orc character for melee combat. i wanna try a magic character now. which race should i choose?

Answer:

While High Elves get a nice bonus to Magicka, there are plenty of items available in game to boost your magica (apparel that gives sustained boosts, not just temporary potions) so that the 50 point boost to magica is good but not necessary.

Also, the difference between races for the destruction skill is very small... 15 vs 20 or 25. If you use destruction primarily, it will raise up very quickly.

The most important thing to remember as a mage is wear mage robes! They boost your magica and regen, reduce the cost of spells, and work with some perks for extra boosts.
