I wouldnt go nord, the racial ability affects some ice spells..Imperial would be a good choice with this build since they have a head start with most perks, and racial abilities dont matter much in the game anymore unless its Berserker Rage, Ancestor's Wrath which can be gained by shouts. in fact most racial abilities can be obtain very easily actually.. I dont think you can command animals but other then that every racial ability can be use by all races by the use of spells, enchantments, and shouts, so if I was you i'd go Imperial if you dont want to go breton but thats me, I honestly dont use Nords with mage characters because of the blizzard glitch, when I did use a Nord Mage...I actually create Mage characters for each race lol anyways I used fire magic with him and went into illusion as well. Also I would do what Bryn at least till level 20 at this point then use your method or do this one 5/3/2 per ten levels or just go with any you need at that time thats what I did with Mason's Obsidian Sentinel build which is my favorite build I played with since my Daedric Mage character that could be seen on this build soon, anyways im sure the use of ice magic wont mess your character up too bad and it should be just as good, Race doesnt matter in builds unless you are of course roleplaying. With the use of atronach I found enchanting your armor to make destuction not cost anything helped alot, the use of the Rune perk also is great for this build however it not a main perk to go into if you get past 50 then I would get it and impact, This character like most of Mason's build can be used with mainly anyone knowing how to play the game, Heck my Obsidian Sentinel is a Orc because I didnt want Breton or Nord racial ability interfering with my magic. So you are doing fine with you build and im sorry im writing a novel to tell you that race doesnt matter much in builds like this, I think a Skyrim vampire would be a nord anyways or Breton because of the Forsworn.. so you're doing fine adapt to your playstyle however when choosing your ratio. I would use more magic in my ratio however until I got my magic to a good number then go the way Bryn said because you are going to need Stamina. Anyways good luck on the build and Good job to you mason.
