Skyrim Mages

I just re-rolled my character and totally started over. Instead of a melee sneak / archery / rogue-ish build like i went last time, this time I chose a Breton as my starting character.

Breton's start with bonuses in Conflag and Illusion but get 0 bonuses in Destruction.

My question is that is a Conflag / Illsuion focused build viable? Breton's start with 0 bonueses in destruction so should I really focus any points in there?

I'm amused with the idea of using a non-destruction build but FIRE is almost absolutely necessary in any mage build isn't it?

I'm not worried about having to kite like shit or anything. Just wondering if Conflag/ Illusion is really viable?
