  Nice build. What's it like only using alteration for armor?

  Not bad, if you can remember to cast the spell. I always forget so I always play with armor.

  Automatic +1 because I love the Blades Swords. But seriously, this looks great. Love the backstory. Great choice of perks to show the transition and although I don't like Equilibrium because of what Vazgen said, it is very symbolic here and it was a pretty cool idea. And of course, there's the Blade Swords :D

  The flesh spells have the potential to be very powerful. Although I only went to the ebony flesh variant, I think this flesh spell reduces damage by 60%. The master level spell Dragonhide kicks it to the gap of 80%. I only went to expert because I can cast that one with one hand.

  Thank you very much, the katana's are very underrated, especially since there are some kick ass swords like Herkon's sword and Dragonbane. I think it is strange that the Blades use these swords but never shared the knowledge to produce them. Luckily some mods solve that problem by giving me access to katana's with every available metal in the game (dragonbone katana's FTW!).

  I am sorry if I sound cocky, but I can only use useful comments when something is wrong. Commenting just "okay..." is not useful if there is something you didn't like. If there is something wrong, please say it, and maybe I can change it.

  Would you recommend it for a two handed user?

  would you prefer it that you expect something and it be so different that it sucks... or a good build that you know what is going on?

  I understand your problem, but Equilibrium is just used to emphasize a change in the character. It is just a roleplaying choice and not a fundamental piece of the build. Necromancy can also be fueled out of your mana. The "Blood" is more part of the Maiden's personality, she is not afraid to cut down any opposition (read: cover herself in blood). And as a vampire she is also in need of blood. The words Maiden and Blood contravene eachother and I wanted to use this to create a build with a little more depth.
