Yeah, the removal of many non-combat alternation/illusion spells, and the removal of the spellmaker entirely is definitely one of the big weaknesses of the game.
I think the simplified shoot-flames-from-your-hand system does serve the overall combat decently well, especially with the new system that lets you equip one thing in each hand, but the magic downgrade is for sure one of the areas where Skyrim loses out to previous TES games.
