Well, let`s start with the stats. I`ll give you how I would lay those out for your character:

Str: 10
Dex: 14
Con: 15
Int: 18
Wis: 11
Cha: 10

Next i`ll follow up by asking if you intend to use any wizard archetypes, and if you have any plans to use prestige classes in the future.

According to this (http://oots.wikia.com/wiki/Vaarsuvius), Vaarsuvius is a High elf evoker.

As you are new to this game, you should know that being a wizard require a lot of player's time investment.

So
Class : Wizard specialized in evocation (dropping conjuration and necromancy) (If i were you I would drop enchantment instead of conjuration)
Race : High elf (Grey elf from monster manual 1 are better if you agree to minor change)
Stats :
Str: 11 or 9 (11-2 if grey elf)
Dex: 16 (14+2)
Con: 13 (15-2) or 16 (18-2 if grey elf)
Int: 18 or 17 (15+2 if grey elf)
Wis: 10
Cha: 10

Spell selection recommandation:
Lvl 1 :
Burning hand (PHB) or Jet of steam (Complete mage)
Magic missile (PHB)
Light of Lunia (Spell compendium)
Mage armor (PHB)
Ray of Flame (Spell compendium)
Color spray (PHB)

Feat recommandation :
1st : Enlarge Spell
3rd : I recommand you Sculpt spell (Cityscape) which can make Burning hand/Jet of steam and color spray zone greater and safer for you to cast them.

Rodrigo, did you have any specific questions or are you looking for general advice on everything? Are you starting at level 1 or will it be a higher level?
