How much health should a mage have?

With regards to your health, its really a personal preference and what type of magic you use. Im currently level 30, and I have 300 Magicka, 180 Health, and 120 Stamina (I think thats about right). I started off doing health and magic every other level, but for the past few Ive been going straight magic, and I havent been having any major problems with my health.
As for Necromancy, I couldnt tell you. Im a conjurer, but Im completely skipping the necro line of perks as I never use them.

I haven't started a mage yet, but I'm looking into it for my next run through. I was planning to put a few levels into all three (magic/health/stamina) for the first few levels but then go with magic and then on every third or fourth level up putting points in health/stamina

thanks for the info! I'll be sure to put more points in health, maybe go 2:1 magic to health now

The real answer is to balance it out. Start with the 2:1 or 3:1 M:H ratio, and when you start having enough mana to cast the spells but are running too low on health then start to swing the balance the other way. so maybe 3:1 a few levels then 2:1 the next few levels, then 1:1 until you start swinging back the other way and do 1:2, then 1:3.....M:H.
The true answer to this is if you are getting too low in something then you need to start raising it more than the others. Whether it is health magika or stamina.

The amount of health you have as a age should not be a major concern, Unless you plan on playing on higher difficulties then yes, you should increase your health to around 400. As for armour, since a mage character will tend to keep its distance from its enemy light armour would be your best choice, as you will have increased maneuverability. But its your character so you decide!

No problem! If that is the case then yes, 300-400 health is crucial. haha!

I'm an ice-mage level 46 at 200 health. You want to get atleast to this much for survivability on expert difficulty and put the rest in magicka. You don't need much stamina as long as you have the restoration perk that lets you recharge health AND stamina when using fast healing.
