Nice build man I love watching mage builds. I usually side with the vampires as a mage but might give those spells a go next time around

[@SrConstantinopla]

You can buy them even if you side with the vampires, go to their castle and cast calm on everyone. They are happy to trade.

[@jesus.portilla]

The DLC is great! The only thing that would have made it even better is if the castle was a player home.

[@VeryEvilGM]

Depending which side you choose, you get a different castle as player home.

[@elijahford3696]

You kill Harkon regardless, but siding with the vampires let's you use his living area.

[@remick0]

Truly a walking holy nuke that can just say "this legendary bow? Nah, don't need it."

[@Anska5126]

This was a good build. It's always nice to see another mage build after the fact that weapons are favoured heavily in Skyrim being able to one shot if you upgrade them enough That being said a weapon may have been some use to you. You ran out of Magicka a few times here are were stuck for a while until it refilled slowly. Wearing clothes enchanted with fortify Magicka regeneration or a dagger you can swing fast enchanted with Absorb magicka would have given you what you needed to keep blasting spells all day Of course the only weakness to this is that you need a companion with you at all times to deal consistent damage to living enemies. The only exception would be Dragonborn's Poison Rune Spell. It's a good thing that spell stacks damage but some enemies also resist that Some perks from other schools will also have some use unless you start putting points into Alteration and Destruction also. Illusion is a great one to have for my thief play throughs as Invisibility is an amazing spell to pair with sneak in densely crowded areas. Also the Quiet casting spell makes dealing Fire damage while remaining hidden easily You made excellent use of Become Ethereal here also. Master Level spells can be an absolute pain to cast since you ale always interrupted while casting them. It takes me about 30 tries to get one spell off. I ended up getting a mod that lets you move and cast it one handed so you can stack it with the dual casting perk. Made no sense to me to work you arse off for powerful spells to not be able to use them at all Illusion mages are a fun challenge to build also as pure Illusion means you have no means at all to deal damage to anyone, even undead. You instead have to rely on a companion just like with restoration but you have to buff them and make enemies run away with accurate spell hits. And you have no way to heal outside of potions either

[@lesser8531]

The damage dealing spells are Vampire's Bane and Stendarr's Aura, they only work on undead. As for the skills, pretty much the entire Restoration tree is maxed. Also had points in Alteration to better use the Ebonyflesh spell and to have the Magic Resist from Atronach and Magic Resistance perks.

bane of the undead is the same shit that dawnbreaker casts on kill right

[@AthenaTennosN]

Not exactly. The core idea is the same, but Dawnbreaker version has its own quirks...one of which is that the explosion isn't actually attributed to you by the game, meaning friendly fire and self-nuking in some contexts
