Need recommendations for Mage themed play through please!

Ok so i decided to finally start a new character and this time i'm playing a mage strictly speaking. Focused on all of the mage perk trees through SkyRe. I have the following mods set up already

 

Apocalypse - magic of skyrim

Enchanting awakened

FC Resurrect

Forgotten Magic Redone

Magic Runes HD

T3nd0s The Staff Machine

Open & Lock spells

Thunderchild epic shouts and immersion

Wrath of Nature (both the original + the sequel)

Alchemist compendium (for when i need to refer for potion making)

 

and GELO of course for those armors i want added to the level list.

 

Along with those magic related mods i also have the necessities for immersion

frostfall

skyre

RND

ELFX

wet & cold+ Holidays

radiant and unique potions, poisons HD

Unique unique's, ETC

 

 

however obviously that isn't ENOUGH now i have a merge patch made to combine all of the armors and clothes i would like to use during my playthrough but very very few weapons and that's what i'm looking for. Weaopns that would be themed for mages besides the obvious like Staves. I want this as lore friendly as possible. I don't want wands so that mods out.

 

I have 4 weapon mods installed that i think are good for a mage though i might remove one of them since it's not exclusively made for mages

 

i have Accolade - Templar Sword (Templars = warriors with magical abilities)

Insanity's Umbra sword (i have a custom follower by halo called Umbra and figured that would be a good little thing to have for fun lol)

Witchers Silver Sword (thought it sounded appropriate considering the theme)

and finally Elemental Arrows. (this is the one i thought about removing since it's not EXCLUSIVE for mages since obviously a hunter or ranger would be best using these to add damage and variety to their ammo...probably will remove it anyway)

 

But other than those 4 i have NO other weapon mods installed other than unique uniques but obviously that's just to make them feel unique and doesn't do anything specific for my character beyond immersion.

 

can anyone suggest any weapon mods good for a mage? I'm sure this has been asked before still i figured it'd get a fresh perspective and an update to the list of mods good for a mage to have.

hah yeah i forgot to mention i have Undeath installed along with Perk tree for the lich lmao....as for magic duel: reborn i don't want anything like THAT per say as it would really only work right when fighting other mages ^^;; i want mods that will work across the board of skyrim no matter what the situation is. and i don't mean work as in "allow me to win" i mean work as in feels right for every situation. spell packs, different weapons and armor, gameplay mechanics that can be applied to every situation possible that way it would blend all together well. but i understand why you put it in.

Magic Duel is fun, if it's not your cup of tea you should have just skip. Seems you omitted everything I post below those two youtube vids?

 

Most interesting spell packs are unfortunately OP due to their nature and mechanics. I would add unique magic creatures into skyrim for more diverse combat.

 

 

SIC - Skyrim Immersive Creatures

 

 

 

Get some combat mod on top of skyre (Duel - Combat Realism or Ultimate Combat) for more interesting npc behavior in fights

try the druid essentials, im currently playing a druid with the wrath of nature and the druid essentials, really fun.

 

the druid essentials adds 3 staffs that you charge with a spell in the other hand or something (didn't use staffs just the spells) and the effects of the staffs are pretty unique
