Level up and choose magicka

^ And take the Tier perks (Novice/Adept, etc.) Effectively doubles your magicka while using appropriate spells.

console command player.setav magicka <amount>

Acquire/create enchanted gear that gives more magicka.

Level enchanting. It is very easy. Mine soul gems in Blackreach, get the Mages Stone and sleeping bonus and enchant items.

You can either enchant items with magicka or enchant items to lower the spell cost for whatever school of magic you want. If you have enough enchantments the spells can cost 0 magicka to cast.

Otherwise the only other way is to choose magicka at level up.

how do i get the sleeping bonnus? and what does it do?

Go to sleep at an Inn or in your home and you will get a Well Rested Sleeping Bonus which adds 10% more to EXP. If you sleep in other beds you will get a 5% sleeping bonus.

Also if you have the Aetherial Crown you can store the Lovers Stone on it and get another 15% bonus to EXP.

With the Mages Stone + Lovers Stone + Sleeping bonus you can get 45% more exp while leveling Enchanting or whatever other magic skills you use. You can also use this technique for Smithing using the Warriors Stone, or any other skill with the appropriate Guardian Stone.

In Skyrim, setav does not allow you to keep the magicka, but if you type in player.forceav magicka 25000, then you are permanently set at 25000 magicka or health or stamina. I know it's a cheat but some times I may do it, sometimes I don't.
Now if you need souls to open shouts, because your shouts are still closed, then open console, and type, playermodav dragonsoul 25 or however you may need. Sorry to help cheat, but only in a time of need, right?

Get your enchanting level up! Enchant everything with extra magicka + magicka regen. Should be able to completely break your game with stupid amounts of both.
