Then just keep using magic and upping your Magicka. Find some items, enchant, then sell them. I don't use magic, but I'm a level 20 Nord with 200 health and 190 stamina. I improved an Orcish warhammer, then added a burning enchantment. The more you work on stuff and use your powers, the faster you improve. Weapons improve with each hit. Spells improve with each kill. Go out into the Rift and use your magic. There's lots of saber cats, bears, frostbite spiders, and rouge mages to hone your skills on. That's how I leveled up. The reach is good too.

Hope this helps! :)
