Inner light does NOT give you spelldmg. It increases your max magicka and gives you major prophecy for 10% spellcrit.

Increasing your max magicka does increase spell damage, some. Also the Mage Guild passives will boost your max magicka by 2% for each slotted, which also increases your spell damage.

No, it increases your overall damage with magicka-skills. But Magicka does NOT increase your spelldamage. Spelldamage as a stat is completely independent from magicka.

Breton is 3rd choice and okish for a templar. You'll loose some DPS on your fire-skills but you won't notice it unless you min/max your character/playstyle/group.
There's some very fine hair splitting going on here.
Spell damage, and max magicka scale your damage with magicka based abilities. Both of them affect it. Technically, you are correct in that Max Magicka won't scale your reported spell damage on your character sheet, though it will affect the damage displayed by spells in the skills menu.
So... eh, close enough. It's two roads leading to the same place.
Best race for templars (dps-wise) is dunmer, but they have the worst sustain. Second would be altmer with breton as 3rd, both of them have better sustain but less dps.There's some very fine hair splitting going on here.

I agree
I just try to keep those different things seperated, bc most people get confused about this when you say "magicka increases spelldamage". There are big differences between spelldamage (the number in your character screen), damage with spells (best shown by your tooltips of magicka abilities) and magic damage (the damage type from some spells, same as elemental, physical and so on) in this game.
I hope we didn't confuse the OP with this

I know this would happen
Just ask, if you want to know anything else about this.

I would suggest to turn your Breton to dedicated healer! Its by far the best healer build. For DPS go HighElf
For groupplay I would suggest getting 5 piece Twice-Born-star (You can have 2 mundus stones at the same time).Need 9 trait research to craft it. And then you take the shadow and thief mundus stone. This setup can give some really nice dps boost. But it requires a group where someone can run agressive warhorn (Alliance assault skill line ultimate)
