My character excells in Illusion, Alteration, and Conjuration as a mage (Conjuration having all summoning perks), and is a very sneaky Thief/Warrior. It is even difficult to be spotted when I wear my new Heavy Armor set. He is pretty much the perfect Character which is balanced among all Mage, Warrior, and Thief (all very powerful).

However, Vampire Lord is not very sneaky, BUT uses all schools of magic that I use, and comes with GREAT spells (vampiric grip being the best). Vampiric Grip can throw a giant for Kilometres, and a gargoyle is a cool temporary "pet" to have. Also, its combat skills aren't really great until you get all of its combat perks, and BATS. This form makes my character better, and more fun to play. Mage skills ARE required if you want it to be even remotely good, because that is the form's focus, much like how the Werewolf's focus is Warrior/Combat.
