mojobechi Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Some of the Alteration spells I feel should be more like a buff that you could toggle on and off instead of casting:CandelightWaterbreathingDetect LifeDetect DeadOakfleshStonefleshIronfleshEbonyfleshDragonhide Magicka cost would have to be balanced. It could take away it's cost from your maximum magicka while the buff is active (meaning you can not use or gain the deducted magicka) or it could just slowly drain your magicka while it is active (it's cost divided among the buff's duration).

danielrux Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I actually like this better than the idea I just posted. Sort of like buffs are done in Dragon Age, where it reserves a percentage (or set amount) of your mana until you disable it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donlup Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 +1 upkeep ftw make it eat some magica or regain of magica just dont make us cast the bloody thing over and over and over -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavkiel Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Yeah, I'd go for it reserving a % of my total mana. I'd use it even if it reserved 100% of the total cost of the spell. I simply hate casting the bloody spell every minute. However, I'd like it to also count as a fresh cast every time I enter combat. Meaning the skill works on its progress level. Else that skill would never get to 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matth85 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Ah.... I'd actually like that! I felt Dragon Age managed to nail Magic pretty good. Would make alteration more fun, if added a few more effects! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could use telekinesis thats a alt spell i belive or maybe Equilibrium perhaps there is options :)TransmuteWaterbreathingParalyzeMass Paralysis Edited December 3, 2011 by Donlup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nesquiker Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 This is a great idea. Engagements in skyrim are too unpredictably timed to waste magic on support magics. If you go sneak or use detect life a lot I suppose the default system makes more sense. But this would just make the game more fun. More fun, less tedious. Awesome Idea.
