Daggerfall questions

As I now again are able to play Daggerfall on my computer I would like
to create a different character and (before I go through the whole
creation process several times) would like to ask a few questions:

A few years ago I created a High Elven Sorceror-type custom character
and abused his immunity to paralysis to let the dagger fall by using
critical weakness to paralysis.

As member of the Mages Guild his spellpoints were always replenished
when speaking to one of the persons there, some sentence like "We can´t
let you run around like this" or similar.

1) If I create a custom character who does NOT have the Sorcerors
disadvantage of being unable to regenerate spell points at all, will his
Spellpoints still be replenished by the Mages Guild, e.g. if I select
regenerates only in darkness?
2) To be able to raise many levels the "Daggerfall Chronicles" mention
that you can gain more levels if your initial skills are low. How can I
influence that the starting skills are lower to be able to achieve more
levels during character creation?
3) If I would create a Nord this time and select Immunity to Magic and
Spell Absorption as advantages: Would the character be immune to the
magic and still absorb it sometimes, or do these advantages not work
together?

No. If you do not have the disadvantage of not being able to
regenerate spell points when you sleep, then you will regenerate spell
points when you sleep. Regenerates in Darkness means that you will
regenerate Health points slowly if you are somewhere dark, as in a
dungeon, or at night.

I'm not sure. You can make sure that you level very slowly by taking
Major and Minor skills that your character would seldom use. You
could distribute your bonus points among skills that you don't want to
use much, leaving the skills that you do want to use at lower numbers.

I have never tried that combination, so I don't really know.
