The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion/Spells

SUMMARY

Spells are the primary tools for any Mage Class, even if the player chooses to minimally use magic, magic is still a part of the overall gameplay and can aid in many aspects. It certainly helps when it comes to spellmaking and enchanting.

Mage's Guild has separated the spells into Schools of Magic and they are as follows:

• Alteration
• Conjuration
• Destruction
• Illusion
• Mysticism
• Restoration

There is one additional school of magic that has been banned in the game and essentially the player can fight against it and it is Necromancy. There are no spells to learn and no Guild Hall will tolerate the pratice of it.

The player usually begins with a base of 5 points per Mage School skill, but depending on the player's character class and even the birthsign, the base skill points can be changed. As with all skills, magic/magicka in the game of Oblivion have different levels based on the skill number achieved.

• Novice - skill points 5-24
• Apprentice- skill points 25-49
• Journeyman - skill points 50-74
• Expert - skill points 75-99
• Master - skill points 100

100 skill points per skill is the maximum level for this game.

All spells in the schools of magic have their own level of skill points and the player must reach that level prior to casting spells in that range. Nothing stops the player from purchasing spells above their level, but without the skill points, you cannot cast those spells.

NOTE - If your character has been hit with a spell that damages your magickal skill, you will lose the ability to cast the high level spells.

Below is a list of spells per school per level. No explanation will be forthcoming on the specific spells since they are pretty much self-explanatory.
