Well, right from the start you're going about this all wrong. In my opinion the only intelligent way to add mods to any game is to: 1), decide what you like and don't like about that game and then: 2), find mods to add or subtract to those things. "What mods will I need?" and "battlemage" is not enough information. What mods will you need to do what?
Ask yourself: what do I like about Skyrim? What do I dislike about Skyrim? What things do I want to change about the game? What things about the game do I want to stay the same? When these things are clear in your mind then, and only then, will you be ready to look for mods. The one thing you do not want to do is blindly dump a bunch of mods into your game just because someone else uses them.
If you can give us some specifics about what kinds of changes you would like to make in your game we could begin to make some mod recommendations.
I could not have said it better. I played the game for about a month before I started to think about adding mods. I had no idea what I wanted to change until then.
