My favorite play style is anti-mage character, i am so fond with anti-mage character since i play DotA (Magina and Drow Ranger), then in DA:O there is Templar and Spirit School magic for Mages (Mages can be an excellent anti-mage in DA:O, in fact an overpowered Templar). So in Oblivion and Skyrim, i am prone to make such build. And for that reason i love Breton.
Unfortunately, at the very start of the game i got offensive spell that is flame and in Skyrim, there is conjuration, summoning familiar in which contradict the concept, but i can pretend my character learn magic just to know about it but never use it, so she learn every offensive and "dark" magic from tomes or books to know "how to counter them", but never use them
Anti-Mage is a character that rely on magic resistance, dispell magic, silence, mana burn, mana drain, cleanse area from magic...and strike with weapon or "holy magic" (or neutral magic)
As for anti-mage Mage, it is quite hard to make it in TES, because as a Mage, must rely on offensive spells as primary weapon, if there is such magic just using energy blast (or "magic" blast) it will be nice (In DA:O there is Arcane Bolt and Mana Clash, but Arcane Bolt is weak, so i spec my anti-mage Mage to become Arcane Warrior, using sword In DA:O)

Good points. Dragon Age and DotA Anti-mages simply do not exist. Sounds like you role play it very well, though. +1
