If you're looking for a great unarmed/unarmored playthrough for Skyrim, look no further! Yes you can fire magic attacks with just your fists, try it and see!
No mysterious unarmed "weapons" - just bare fisted punching. Custom perks allow for casting magic attacks with your fists, shields and stamina increases for going unarmored, and lots of perk procs that fire off with visual, damage, and other beneficial effects. Exploding arrows, shields at low health, and much more.
Gloves are awarded on the first perk that allow you to change the punching effects to fire, frost, or shock damage.
New version released includes a config file that allows you set up the mod to suit your taste, and faster punching animations!
Perks listed below, or if you'd rather just check it out now, here you go:

The Perks:
All magic effects change based on gloves worn. No gloves will trigger shock effects, frost and fire
gloves will trigger their respective damage types.
The lower level perks are the foundation for unarmed damage and the higher perks are where things start to get crazy.
[*] Little Dragon (3) : Increases unarmed attack damage, power attacks have a chance to knockdown, incoming damage is reduced when wearing no armor, and a magic shield surrounds the player when their health gets low. jump 4 times within 5 seconds while wearing no armor and get shielded.
