It levels up both your one-handed skill and conjuration skill at the same time. Summon a sword, axe, or bow instead of using one you get in the world. will 1h skills work on the conjured weapon? You know when I conjure items eventually. I think I may focus on conjuring / 1handed / and something I cannot decide on yet. I think that is funĭoesn't work like that. It's still my favorite game of said: You can just craft magic 100% magic regen onto your armor making it so you never run out of mana and then can just use as many destruction spells as you want and kill everything. I think that is funĬall me crazy, but "bullet sponge" enemies never were my idea of fun, and I'd like to think that shooting lightning bolts from my fingertips when I'm a master wizard should do at least somewhat close to the amount of damage that one surprise arrow does.Īnd don't think I'm hating on Skyrim as a whole.
The only use you'll have for the master spells, is when you cast the master lightning spell to try to knock dragons out of the said: You can just craft magic 100% magic regen onto your armor making it so you never run out of mana and then can just use as many destruction spells as you want and kill everything. As long as you stick to the expert spells and have the perk for double casting you can keep almost any enemy in the game in a permanent stunlock, which makes every fight trivial. Meanwhile, I can drop almost any enemy in the game with one or two stealth arrows, or simply sneak up behind them and stab them once with a dagger.ĭestruction sucks because you're doing it wrong.Įnchant 4 pieces of armor for 25% less magika cost for unlimited destruction casting. The highest level lightning spell is a little better, but it still requires you to use both of your hands, and stand in place the entire time you're using it. It explodes outward from you body, and STILL usually isn't enough to kill all but the weakest enemies by the time you are around level 50.
Then THAT is replaced by the most powerful fire spell in the game, which requires a completely ridiculous number of magic points, requires BOTH HANDS, requires that you stand perfectly still when activating it, and-worst of all-it's not even a projectile. Then that's replaced by a more powerful spell that has no area of effect, and requires a direct hit. Magic doesn't seem to level with your character, so once useful spells become completely worthless by the end, and more powerful enemies will always take at least half a dozen attacks, even on the easiest difficulty.įor those who haven't reached the higher levels of the destruction tree, at one point you get a fire spell that creates a massive fireball exposition with a 15 foot area of effect.
I've leveled to 100 in destruction magic, and I can say without hesitation that I was massively disappointed with the magic in skyrim.
