How Do You Get More Magika???

[cfultz]

This may be a stupid question but I have no idea how you are suppose to have enough magika to cast some of the higher level spells. Some of them requiring 400-500+ magika. If someone could please explain how to increase your magika to use these i would appreciate it!!!

Raise your Intelligence, and/or get access to the Arcane University to put fortify magicka enchantments on your equipment.

Doesnt Willpower have something to do with it?

[imahoot]

Willpower affects your magicka regen. rate. Intelligence affects how much magicka you have.

I'm afraid the only thing that makes a real difference are the boosts you get from your race and birthsign. If you haven't chosen the ones which give you a magicka boost you need to try to level intelligence as much as possible, and look for potions or enchantments which fortify magicka.

You don't really need 400-500 magicka to cast those spells though.

As your spellcasting skill (Destruction or Restoration, for example) increases, the spell casting costs go down.

 

Just go to arcane university and make a spell that increases your destruction skill by 100 for 30 seconds and you can go crazy with your attack spells :D

how can u tell how much a spell will increase your overall skill by? does it say wen u make it?

I think Beth may have messed up on magicka. I think it should rise in a way similar to how your HP rises, as a per-level basis. And even if you raise your skills, it still causes limitations. You can't go mad crazy, making a spell that does 100 damage in a 50 radius, for example.

Magic wasn't very usable in morrowind neither. I can cast only 3-4 fireballs that do medium damage with that magic rate. It is nearly impossible to play with a pure magic character, maybe if you rely too much potions. :huh:

i´m playing a full mage in OB (only lvl 11 so far tho) and it works perfectly fine, i can one-two shot most enemys and hardly ever have magicka problems. the hint is to start with an high dmg/high magicka spell and then finish the mob with lower dmg/magicka spells. with that tactic i can easily take 2-3 mobs at a time. just keep your willpower as high as possible (i have 80+ atm) and you will regen magicka faster than you can dumb it with the low lvl spells.
