Because your spell damage wont go up with your spell skill. Im playing a pure mage and now at level 45, the only thing keeping me viable in damage is either exploiting potions to boost destruction or use other schools that are more effective. And I WANT to be a desctruction mage, lobbing fire and lightning spells around but they just dont do enough damage when you get in to the thick of it. Try fighting a low leveled dragon from range with only lightning bolt. Then try it again with an atronach and notice how much faster & easier it was and note the manna it took to get the job done.
