Advice on hybrid build

(lovely, hit the dam back button on my mouse erasing my post. Happy ^.^)

To be blunt: I love mages who manipulate and use minions. I love sneaking and that satisfying stealth kill.

Since I am unable to post links.. -.- simply go to Http : // Skyrimcalculator DOT com/#142623

My main form of attack is conjured weapons. I dabbled in the 1H tree to boost my bound swords somewhat. I stopped at adept because I didn't intend to use storm atronach or dremora lord. The frost and fire atronach are my ranged backup with me up close.

With the light armour tree I didn't see unhindered or wind walker useful. But I suppose if I'm taking perks that increase power attack with 1H I should likely take it? I'm not sure if the top perk is worth it.

I chose those few destruction perks for the cloak spells, but now realise its adept *smacks head*. I wanted the cloak spells for close range to deal with the pesky mages. Storm cloak + ward and wait for their magicka to drain. Should I choose adept or regretably use the console command to get rid of apprentice?

I'm leaving the range purely up to my atronachs. Sparks is my only ranged attack so I can drain magicka, and the odd emergancy. I did intend lightning bolt to be for long distance, but wow is it pitifully weak, unless I take the 2 points for increase damage in augumented shock. I really was shocked at how much damage the atronachs are doing compared to my poor shock spells. They aren't even specced into being 50% more powerful!

I chose the meager 2 points in sneak because.. yeah I love the stealth and instant kill aspect. Being a vampire will increase it to 25% giving me... 45%. Althought currently I'm wearing the DB boots. I doubt my sneaking is high enough to get away with kills. I saw a video where one person kills a guard when there are 2 in close distance! Did they max out their sneak? What do I have to do to achieve that?

Restoration.. yeah.. rather poor! Wasn't entirely sure if to take anything else.

As for illusion, I chose those perks specificly for the muffled casting and the top perk which lets me buff my conjured minions.

Last but not least, enchanting. I went for the fire perk so I could buff my fire resist as much as possible due to the weakness you get when you're a vampire.

I've already spent some points.. which I cannot recall all.
