Not only is there an illusion perk (as we all know) for silent spell casting there is a spell called Muffle. It lets you walk more quietly for 100 seconds.

Nice. Thanks for this! not only will it help pure mages, but it'll undoubtedly help some thief hybrids (i.e. myself) as well.

Any other spells you know of?

not right now sorry But this reinforces my desire to play my stealth mage assassin

im wondering if the chameleon spell is in, cause someone here said that they kicked it...

and i also like to know if these kind of spells would also get better with the perks like animage/kindred mage etc....

its a shout now.

chameleon is a shout and no more spell?
