I'm so sad that spell damage doesn't scale in Skyrim

For those not in the know, the first "tier" of Destruction spells in Skyrim are all short range, "flamethrower" type spells. That is, hold down the button (or both, for double-spell action) and you spew out a stream of fire, lightning, or cold.
It's a lot of fun.
Unfortunately, as I'm beginning to discover now that I've hit level 10, the spells have a flat damage rate. Flames are 8 damage per second, no matter how high your level is, or how much you've trained in the Destruction school.
Guess I'll have to start using Firebolt, sigh...
(Alhough what IS fun is casting Fire RUNE- a booby trap that barely affects me, due to 50% racial fire resistence plus some neat flame-resistent boots. So if a bear gets up all in my face I'm just "BOOM, you just got RUNED."

I amuse myself.

This is your answer, as far as I can tell. Dragonbone is on top of the Light Armor branch. *NM*

True, there are those perks. But they apply to all fire spells, or all dual-cast spells, etc

Can you enchant Light Armor to make it as effective as no-armor mage robes? *NM*

Fireball splash damage doesn't hurt you. Walk up to a wall and blast it; no damage.

True enough. Can't you tell them to hold their ground, though? I've never used one so I dunno. *NM*

I wish the fireball explosions did knockback, ie sent enemies flying, that would be so much cooler *NM*

I think companions are a clever ruse by Bethesda

? You guys are crazy. Just get a companion, and forget about 'em. They catch up.

Lydia has been parked in my house ever since I got her. I prefer going solo in both NV and Skyrim. *NM*

Why not just use the console to add carrying capacity to yourself?

Surprisingly, console commands seem like "cheating" while mods with "features" don't.

It's compensating for game design that doesn't agree with you. Not cheating, as far as I'm concerned *NM*
