    The college of winterhold works better if you think about it like a classical college, that being a place for people with certain interests to freely study in a place with access to useful resources.
    In this case, the college of winterhold works as a place for people that already have some magical skill to further practice their talents, and learn from and share with other mages.

    You can actuality skip a lot of that. You can bucket fly over the gate and go directly to the lesson. You can get spellbreaker and not have to use a ward. You can use the boodskal blade from solstheim to break the wall in saarthal, you can aggro the a frost magic using wizard companion to unlock the Dwarven puzzle. You can then use a fire magic wizard companion and also the same frost companion to get them to open the doors in labrynthian. This means that the only time you have to use magic is using the staff at the end of the quest

    Faralda's Speech check is insanely high to get into the College without using a spell or Shout. I think it is the only flat out 100 check in the game. 70 with the perk to improve Persuasion, which requires 50 to unlock. Which means even with the perk, you likely need an Amulet of Dibella and a Blessing of Dibella/Gift of Charity.

    To be fair, being archmage doesn't repuire major spellcasting a lot of the time, but rather management and decision making, which you have proven by doing literally everything in this whole questline, so I think it's pretty appropriate to be appointed as archmage.

    The door in sarthal once you have amulet on you can use a shout to break it. So fire breath works not sure if that count as magic

    I think you can use persuasion in the beginning but might actually need 100 speech.

    Spellbreaker shield the Bloodskal Blade, if you have the Dragonborn DLC and am at least level 10 in the game, because if you power attack it shoots an Aura. You also could level up Speech to 70 if you feel it is necessary. That would avoid some of the "mandatory spells" to be used. But as for a Vanilla approach with no DLC this is good.
