SATMA Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 My favorite mod for Oblivion was, hands-down, Supreme Magicka. Combined with the greater class discipline of Oblivion XP, Supreme Magicka greatly fortified the repertoire of spells available to you by reimplementing many classic spells from Oblivion while rebalancing what already existed. The overall experience it created really made you feel like a master of the arcane, not merely a mana-powered flame thrower/tesla coil that could regenerate on a whim. Skyrim has sadly hamstrung that, pushing you into that destro-restro corner once again. What use is a 60 second zombie minion when you're lousy with companions? Why waste time using illusion spells on an enemy when, in the same amount of time, you could just cook them alive? Most egregiously, they've removed Mysticism, which was my favorite school outside of destruction. In SM mysticism you got the really fun spells that didn't make sense elsewhere - teleportation, telekinetics, soul stealing, etc. etc. Sure, you could exploit them to "break" the game. That was half the fun, damn it! I beat Knights of the Nine by using my teleport to defeat the Leap of Faith test and get around dungeons. What better use of magic than to defy the will of the "gods" (or developers as the case may be)? So I hope to see a mod like Supreme Magicka or at least restoring Mysticism to be made. I don't know if such a thing would even be possible, but if there is any chance at all, I would do anything to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unbeholden Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 To true. If anybody does attempt this, than they should move Clairvoyance into Mysticism. Makes no sense in illusion because illusion is about fooling people/monsters.Having Life detect, Telekinesis in Alteration makes that school of magic way to useful.Soul trap in Conjuration does make sense considering you usually use them together. Levitation and Teleport needs to make a come back. Also if anyone attempts to making my suggested spell "Astral Projection", then it should go into Mysticism definitely.

kingdark Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) I played Oblivion for years and I never knew there even WAS a teleport spell... Silly me. Now I feel stupid. Edited November 13, 2011 by kingdark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I feel stupid.It was part of Supreme Magicka, which added in many spells from Morrowind, like teleportation spells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
