  I only looked at the third build, but I already see some difficulties you're going to have. Your summons only stay out as long as they're on your hotbar, so you need to put them on both in order to swap bars efficiently. Also, some of the skills you have listed take forever to get, and since skill books don't have any static locations, you have to level each skill manually.

  However, just having a weapon equipped when you earn experience or having a skill from a certain tree on your hotbar can level it. But some skill trees take different things to level them. For Mage's Guild, you have to hunt down Lore Books and read them for experience. Fighter's Guild experience is earned by killing undead and daedra. Soul Magic only levels as you complete certain Main Storyline quests. Therefore, your current build may look easily attainable, it's actually more like a level 50 skill spread.

  This is why I want a guide section for this group, because leveling involves more diverse things than using your skills. In fact, you can have a skill on your hotbar and never use it, and it will gain the same amount of experience as a skill you use as an opener, just because they're both on your hotbar.

  That's not to say you can't respec your character at level 50, but respec costs 100 gold for ever skill point you have and 100 gold for every attribute point. You also earn skill points from exploring and looking for Skyshards and certain quests reward you with skill points.

  Not to turn this into a CB discussion... I just wanted to clear up a few things that are probably foggy to anyone who hasn't played yet. My point is you should take the skill calculator with a grain of salt.
