Skills looks good. I'm not sure if you'll use 102 much at that level, but the option might be worth having. Though I'd push for 1220 before going into the minor spirit. I stopped after 20 spells, and played catchup on dodge/pf from 20-27. I also stopped at 10 ranks of HP, though I'll probably grab another 5 at some point to help with spelling up.
Stats placed for growth? Combat might seem a bit slow due to all the low physical stats but at least every level will get easier. Looks like a HK from your placement?

I'd suggest switching AGL and INF. You're going to be standing in front of critters longer then any other profession and you won't have a shield, armor, or weapon to help you so you'll probably have more of a challenge then you like with such a low AGL.
I'd also suggest getting TWC training. Until I picked it up I was having trouble with my DS against like level critters. Now that I have it, I'm golden. TWC training will also give you a second chance to parry an attack with 1214 when you get it.
Lastly, I have to agree with the other poster about 102, it won't be that useful for quite a while. You'd be better off putting the points you're spending in MnS into Transformation Lore for 1202 and waiting to pick up spirit spells until you have all the Mental ones you want. With your level and Transformation Lore at .5x, 1202 should be the equivalent of wearing leather breastplate and would jump up to studded leather at 30. It'll go a long way towards helping you survive the occasional lucky hit from a critter, even at level 18 it's helped me survive several hits I know would have killed me without it.

Yup my character is HK. Stats are placed for growth, i doubt ill ever hit a level where that will matter....but i didnt place them for growth for my sorcerer and well im at the point where i regret that.
So i swapped AGI and INF as suggested, dropped PF and CM to 1x, 2x TWC, MnS was removed and brought my MM to 20.
So the goal is to increase CM/PF as i level.
I think i can keep of the lores for a bit as I have some crit padded robes he can wear.
