This expert-level spell uses Shock Damage and Drain Health to swiftly finish off enemies, making them even easier to kill by giving them Weakness to Magicka.

You can learn Shock Damage by knowing any Shock spell, such as Spark, and Drain Health by learning Minor Wound or any of its stronger versions.

Combining Fortify Magicka with Fortify Willpower is a perfect combo to have a huge Magicka pool that replenishes incredibly fast. Use this during fights to endlessly blast spells away.

(Expert)

The most efficient healing spells are custom ones that restore health over a short duration. These offer a better healing to Magicka ratio compared to standard spells like Heal Greater Wounds or Heal Superior Wounds.

(Expert)

The Open Hard Lock Spell combined with a Chameleon Spell is excellent for wanting to be stealthy when breaking in areas or opening chests. This is especially useful for mages who do not have high levels in Sneak.

How to Make Spells

Use a Spellmaking Altar

Spellmaking Altar

Spellmaking Altars can be found in the Arcane University once you have completed the Mages Guild Recommendation quests, or in the Frostcrag Spire player home provided you have bought Magetallow Candles to make it usable.

Spellmaking Menu

In the Spellmaking menu, select your desired effects from the list on the left, then adjust their properties on the right side. After setting each effect, you can return to the left to add more. Once done, name the spell and create it to begin using it.

If you don’t meet the required Magic Skill level to cast the spell you created, the menu will notify you that you can’t cast it.
