I'm going to start a new play through as a mage type and i'm looking for ideas and advice of how to really immerse my self and role play as a mage. This will be my first magic based play through as i almost always play as either a warrior or assassin type. Id like to know what race best suits, what particular skills i should focus on first, and just general tips. Your help would really be appreciated

Forgot to mention that i'm playing vanilla Oblivion on PS3
