Suggestions on mod to flesh out a certain character build

Hi,

I was wondering if I could get some help selecting mods that may flesh out a particular character build I have in mind.

The character shall be a pure mage, and a very flamboyant one.

1. His fighting style is the opposite of straightforward. Fireball to the face? Way too direct. Luring an opponent to a previsouly planted rune? Better. Casting a rune on his own feet, then using a teleportation spell to switch positions with a target so that he suddenly finds himself on top of an exploding magical trap? even better. Making an opponent fall off a bridge and into a river, only for then paralyzing him so that he ends up drowning? Yes please!

So you get the picture: the more unnecessarily convoluted the method, the better. I've never used mods that add new spells but I do know there are some that are quite popular (Apocalypse, Phenrix, Midas...). Can anybody recommend one spell mod that allows for the kind of crazyness that I was describing above?

2. Stealthy kills are off-limits, since for that character there is no point in killing somebody if that somebody doesn't realize how he died. This means that I'll always be facing the opponents and will pay no attention to hiding my presence (in fact, I'll be wearing heavy boots just to make it more noticeable). This means I'd need a way to maneuver that is more effective and, for the opponents, more infuriating than regular vanilla 'running-around'. I was thinking of getting blink spells (as in dishonored). Do those exist for Skyrim?

3. Besides pure gameplay mods, any recommendations on armor and possibly quest mods that may be suitable for this kind of character are welcome too.

Thanks in advance!
