Breton are a great human race for magic. Their destruction magic level is dwarfed as hell, but can be easily rectified. Their passive and racial abilities help if you decide to do the winterhold college quests earlier on, as mage vs. mage battles typically end in the enemies favor in earlier levels, not to mention you're absorbing the magicka they're using to cast their own spells.
