OK, i understand that it won't be visible, unless i use igi's mean tool, which i have downloaded. But how do i make a mage kit. I tried, but when i run Setup, it says that K_M_H does not exist. What the heck am i supposed to do now? I've written the whole kit, and made all the spells etc. and now i try installing it and the piece of Sh** won't work.

On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

Mage kits are actually coded as classes. You can't add new mage classes. What are you supposed to do now? My recommendation--base it off a bard kit instead. Instead of the traditional kit selection, you can use ChangeClass() and AddKit(). Give your mage some special bard song replacement to mask the fact that you don't want it there. Set pickpocketing skills to 0.

New mage kits are entirely possible and can be created in exactly the same way you'd make a kit for, say, a fighter or a cleric; i.e. use the ADD_KIT command in Weidu, and add the relevant details for CLASWEAP.2DA, WEAPPROF.2DA, ABCLASRQ.2DA, and so on.
As you say, you can't add new mages to the selection screen, but that means you don't have to worry about the K_x_x files; they're soley for the purpose of listing kits in the selection screen. The file that sets what class your kit is for is KITLIST.2DA.
As your kit is intended for an NPC, there's no problem here whatsoever. If you wanted the PC to be able to chose it, you could script it in (if it's for a mod you intend to release), or simply use the console (if it's purely for your own use).
To see an NPC-only mage kit in action, grab Idobek's NPC Kit mod. It features (amongst other things) a Red Wizard kit for Edwin.

I totally forgot about that kit mod somehow. I've actually played with it too. Been a while since i played though, so i think i should be excused. Thanks, now i have to go tell Chevar who hasn't been on for a little bit that i can do it.

You could always copy across a dummy K_M_X.2DA beforehand, though when I tried to make them with all mage kits for all races it didn't work.
