In Daggerfall the power of your spells was tied to your level, so you could end up with thousands of damage points on your spells, in Morrowind you could create spells that wiped out entire towns and in Oblivion spells that defeated any enemy in a single shot, in the lore magic can move entire islands, conjure armies and destroy mountains, both in previous games and in the lore becoming a mage was tedious and difficult but also extremely rewarding, in Skyrim you can't create your own spells and even though it's easier to become a powerful magician (alchemy) also feels too futile, like little effort and little reward

"Look at what <Caster Builds> need to mimic a fraction of our power." Stealth Archer says to 30x Stealth melee

Compared to previous games I think the mage and magic system is weaker. I miss being able to make my own spells.

“Mages are better than warriors”
*Proceeds to go through a 10 step tutorial just be ready to attack*

Edit: wow didn’t expect the likes and comment, I think mage is better than warrior, but still it does have a long process lol, love you all

I wish skyrim had more of the types of magic dragons dogma has. Summoning meteors and giant tornados is just the most Badass feeling there is.

"Mage builds aren't weak!"
*proceeds to cast about 30 spells before starting fight*

[deepsouthredneck]

Magic isn't weak it's just that the crafting system in skyrim OP to the point of being broken. The real problem with magic is the amount of micromanagement it takes, armor spells don't last long enough, bad UI for managing a lot of spells (god forbid you're on a console with only two hot keys), and the lack of armor penalties and 100% spell cost reduction makes leveling your mana pointless.

“Pure magic isn’t weak!”
Starts to prep for a fight that can be finished in 1 hit from an iron dagger

[apatheticallyconcerned]

Pure mage is tedious, as shown here. 40 clicks in menus still slower than lopping his head off with a greatsword.

“Pure Mage is weak”

Spends 60% of playtime in menus adding buffs and summons to prove people wrong…

[killuazoldyck]

Vanilla mage: yeah, moderately weak

Now a modded mage! That's where the fun is at

[wizardswine]

Because crafting can't boost the damage of magic, and on master difficulty you can do fine but you'll be slumming it compared to a martial build with one crafting skill

Fun fact : The ebony warrior doesn't scale up from his initial level (80) That means that the ebony warrior is always going to be level 80.
So, you Just cast 50 spells before starting the fight to "easily" beat an oponent 20 levels bellow you

[ThallanarRabidtooth]

The main issue with Skyrims offensive spells is they dont do enough damage. There is no way to increase their damage outside of mods. You can make them free very easily with enchanting, but that's it. Early game Flames is very good because each tick of damage is equal to that of a single swing from an Iron Sword. However, mid to late game the damage provided from Destruction spells becomes less than that of normal weaponry, not to mention enchanted and improved weapons, in addition to using alchemy to boost your smithing and enchanting. Spells in Skyrim are much more useful as tactical advantages, supplementing your melee or ranged damage. Invisibility, fear, charm, wards and conjuration are all great ways to utilize spells.

No magic damage increases.
Magika runs out in 2 seconds.
Combat Magika recharges at like 25% speed.

My very first run in skyrim, I built a heavy armored guy with double handed weapon like the good ol bloodskal blade, ebony katana. I’ll run head on to enemies then instantly beheading them. Then now, I tried mage build it was fun to plan beforehand what spells to do like should I make them kill each other with fury or paralyze them first. But most of the time I’m hiding like a b*tch with my 2 dremoras tanking everything.

[TheCamster]

Highborn- best mage ability, bar none. You feel so powerful in that minute, throwing spell after spell, it’s great. That said, magic kind of sucks in Skyrim because of how every spell is capped off. By around level 20, I start struggling as a mage because things just don’t care about my damaging spells. As an archer though, I’m hitting 40’s and still killing most things with one sneak attack or paralyzing it so I can stab it really fast. Mage sucks in Skyrim compared to other versions and to other play styles, but it’s still good for supplementing other play styles. I just hope elder scrolls 6 makes magic as good as it was in oblivion or morrowind, or even half that. I would love to have that level of creativity back in the game

Reminds me of the good ol' Dragon Ball Z days when the enemy would wait for the protagonist to power up for an entire episode before getting rolled.

Just a quick tip for new players, for quick cast/favorite spells menu, you can map it to 1-9 to quickly change your spells (on pc at least)
Just need to press the corresponding number to set it 😀 saves a lot of time too
