Alteration is also good for the armor spells, just keep in mind that the only real offensive spell you'll get is paralyze once you improve the skill to expert level, and even then you'll need another skill to actually damage enemies. Conjuration is really the only school of magic that you can really comfortably "main", since your summons scale up well and are even more effective at higher difficulties (due to the way player/npc difficulty modifiers work).

If you're going to go magic, either go with illusion (paired with other physical skills) or full conjuration. In Skyrim it seems like they forgot to buff magic after they removed spell crafting. In those games magic damage was also static and predefined, but instead of your spells getting stronger you'd just use spell-crafting to make stronger versions of those spells. The reason for this lack of damage is most likely a hold-over from the previous magic systems used in morrowind/oblivion. As a result, once you reach higher levels spells will noticeably lag behind physical damage while also costing magicka to cast. For example at 100 One-handed with all 5 ranks of armsman, you'll be doing 3x your original damage with any 1H weapon.
In comparison, levelling any physical damage skill (one-handed, archery, two-handed) will increase the damage of their respective weapons, which also stacks with perks.
This means that destruction damage is mostly static for the entire game and doesn't really increase the same way physical does. Well, to be more specific destruction magic in Skyrim is incredibly weak in comparison to physical damage due to its lack of scaling and damage amplifiers (only potions vs potions, enchantments, sneak attack, and tempering for physical).
