Great Guide - Thanks! I try to use the hot keys as I tend not to like entering the Inventory while in an encounter (immersion!?) I thought I would share my usual set up if it helps anyone? 1. Flame / Fire Bolt 2. Fire Rune 3. A N Other of the Destruction variety 4. Ward (Lesser/steadfast) whatever level/stage I am at. 5. Oak/Stone Flesh et al. 6. Conjure Fam / Raise Dead 7. Conjure Atronach 8. Healing / Fast Heal I don't alter much from this unless I am playing a different focus mage, in which case I would swap out the Destruction in slots 1,2,3 and replace them with the main source or damage creating spell or summoning if conjuring! Any comments gratefully received. cube359
