I'm now at a point where I'm wondering whether to invest any exp at all in magicka? I'm very much obsessed with canon so don't want to "break" it so to speak and I'm confused about whether or not "trailerkiin" would use magic at all? He doesn't use it in the trailers and it seems all nords in the game are programmed to have their magicka very low besides vampire/god like characters such as miraak, harkon and serana, however I did notice this:-

...which I assume means even bethesda does imagine him using magic sometimes. I've just always viewed the shouts used by Tiber Septim and the dragonborn as mere mortals answer to elven magic which I think is a good part of the lore, which is betrayed by using magic I feel.
Is it worth me spending the rest of my exp on magicka and having a 300/550/250 ratio at level 81 if only for the sake of being able to use it now and again? This would bring me up to level with a level 81 miraak I think - http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Dragonborn:Miraak_(NPC)
The dragonborn does join the college of winterhold after all so it wouldn't be right if everyone there was better than him at magic considering he's the saviour of Skyrim and all
