You cannot run a bow and magic build period. You need to go effectively all weapons and max out your stamina resource pool or staff and magic skills and max out your magika resource pool. This way you will be hugely more combat effective.

I'm afraid this is correct... in the current version of the game (and recent versions), there's NO place for hybrid builds and you are effectively gimping yerself.

*Sigh*
Hybrids, like anything, can exist and can perform well extremely poorly and way below average. They are harder, and they do not give you top tier dps, but especially next patch, this statement is just flat out wrong.

You made a spelling error, fixed it for ya
I have made it to level 14 using a bow and now also magic. I really enjoy questing but am having trouble finishing them. I get to the end and the boss either morphs and kills me or the boss is just way more powerful than I and I die. I must have about 20 quests I am unable to finish and it is frustrating. I have tried waiting for others to come along so I could both get help and help them finish the quests. Sometimes no one comes along and I move on.
I don't see any indication that maybe some of these quests are a higher level than I am. Checking through my list they all say whatever current level I am. I don't think this is correct. I have never been one to complain about dying in a battle but this constant dying is just getting old.
Is this how the game is or do I just not have a handle on how to play better yet?

Dude, he's questing. If this were a dungeon runner trying to do that, you'd be mostly right and I wouldn't have responded. The OP only mentioned he wants to quest. He can do that in heavy armor and one one handed sword.

No, I said what I meant and meant what I said. If you don't want to believe it, that's fine

no that is not the case and even if they did guess what they would still come here and ask for advice(which there is nothing wrong with the ops post). To back up my answer just look at crafting you have all sorts of in game information and people still ask about crafting as if they didn't read it (and again there is nothing wrong with this....though reading would help out)
Sorry I left out so much information about my character.
I am a Sorcerer Dark Magic.
I have the Ultimate absorption field 1, Crystal fragments 1, shattering and rune prison 1, Passives of unholy knowledge 2/2 and blood magic 1/2.
Weapon is bow. focused aim 1, endless hail 1, draining shot 1, arrow spray 1.
Passives Longshot 1/2, accuracy 2/2, ranger 1/2.
Armor is heavy with no abilities added.
Soul magic that I haven't used yet but have 1 point in soul summons.
Character is a wood elf in Grahtwood.
skyshards 24/381
skill points to allocate 3
Attribute points: magic 8, health 5, stamina 3
All my armor is heavy and green 3 pieces help magic, 3 pieces help stamina, 1 piece helps health. This is all loot reward armor. 2 pieces are part of the green pact set. Pieces are either 13 or 111 level.
Bow is Brackenleafs Bough reward loot. level 11.
I tried just using bow as I have in 2 previous builds. This wood elf has gone farther than the others that I stopped at level 9 and 11. I started using magic because I needed a backup to running out of stamina and could no longer attack. With the magic I can continue the fight until magic runs out and by that time my stamina has filled enough to use.
I do know to block when a mob has white lines radiating from it. And to exploit with red lines are radiating.
I do try and watch some utube vids of the game to learn what I am doing wrong.

Deltia's Gaming is one such channel and has helped my understanding of the game a ton.

Weapon swap doesn't unlock until 15 just to make sure you don't confuse him.
