SKYRIM MAGIC ONLY CHALLENGE IS BROKEN - Skyrim is a Perfectly Balanced game with no exploits !!!

Skyrim is the ultimate RPG game designed by Video Game God Todd Howard and Exploit Creators Bethesda. In Their divine wisdom they gave the players of skyrim the most overpowered mage build in terms of damage outputs in skyrim. We took the strongest spell in skyrim and decided to see if we could also add it to our 100% resistant to magic build that we would need to do the absorb Magic Only challenge again! AND THEN add an additional 12,000% damage to that spell thanks to the fortify restoration loop exploit! So how on earth can a player beat skyrim with only a 100% Resistance To Magic a skill which is exceedingly limited and has few overpowered gameplay features alongside the most overpowered mage build in the universe... You can take a level 1 character and turn them into the most powerful character in the entirety of the elder scrolls universe by having them become immune to magic and have magic powers that can evaporate a dragon in 1 second. So lets see if The Spiffing Brit can prove if Skyrim is a perfectly balanced game or if spiff can exploit skyrim and beat the game with only Magic.
What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.
So sit back relax and enjoy this Skyrim Magic only challenge! How on earth can one english bugger beat Skyrim Special Edition with only resisting spells and using the most powerful lightening imaginable!! Its the most overpowered build yet! Is it really a Magic Challenge... I mean there is not much of a challenge when you can 1 hit every single enemy...

Tip for anybody trying to grind Destruction magic: I did it by having an NPC heal in one hand and a low-level Destruction spell in the other. And then having basically infinite magicka like Spiff here. Used on an NPC that was stuck in a river trying to get out of it. Constantly healing and hurting them so they never die. No, I don't think that basically amounts to horrendous torture than violates the Geneva Convention, why do you ask?

[@whereismysiphi]

Technically the Geneva Convention only applies during wartime. Ergo, so long as you weren't both soldiers on different sides of the Imperial/Stormcloak divide, it wasn't a warcrime.

[@Nurk0m0rath]

@@Whaddif_ Huh. I don't think I've ever seen that many pieces of fortify destruction gear in one place unless they were player-made. I'm pretty sure only the armor, helmet/circlet, amulet, and ring can normally accept that enchantment. Well, I guess some gauntlets do appear with fortify destruction so the player can probably make those too, but apparently pre-built gauntlets don't go over 17%. Nightingale gloves btw don't affect spellcasting, they increase one-handed damage and lockpicking (the hood enhances illusion). And the archmage robes are only 15%, so you must have found a helmet or circlet and necklace of 25% each and a ring worth 20%. I'm pretty sure I crafted my first five-finger discount magic set. IIRC in the base game you can get 25% to each item at max level with full perks and no potions. Of course, the easy solution to get free spells is use the fortify restoration loop to get at least 7x stronger enchantments and then equip the archmage robes (7 x 15 = 105% cheaper everything). Or 20x stronger enchants for the diadem of the savant, which you can grab at game start near Froki's Shack. But considering you can get thousands of armor rating off a hide bracer by resto looping smithing gear, if you use the resto loop you might as well wear clothes cosmetically and not worry about actual armor.

fun fact: the best magic for leveling up Destruction is actually Ice! as it deals damage to both Stamina and Health giving you double the value! lightning shares this property but for Magic, however a lot of Skyrim's creatures dont have any magic so you dont get the bonus.

[@SkaterBlades]

Huh never noticed that, i always just used wall of fire on shadowmere to level it up but getting to that point is a pain. Maybe i can try my ice warrior again (stahlrim armour, battle axe, frost thralls, blizzard, immunity to magic)

[@bertholdtohoover446]

Imo Ice and fire the coolest elements, but most creatures of skyrim have a 50% resistance to ice, making things harder, while shock spells have no one immune to it. I suggest installing Ordinator mage perks overhaul to get some really cool stuff.

[@calyokayu2320]

Frost is great until you remember it's resisted by all nords, including not just NPCs, Stormcloaks and a lot of the bandits but also all Draugr and Dragon Priests. Not to mention half the dragons, Vampires, anything with snow or ice in the name...

[@ICCUWANSIUT]

@@calyokayu2320 basically everything but dunmer

[@normal6483]

Fire might actually be stronger, because it does the most damage due to gaining illusion bonuses to fear potency, as well as having a passive effect that does damage over time. Magicka *and* Stamina drop to 0 once the enemy is dead! (Of course lightning is still the most effective, if only because it has the fewest number of enemies who are immune or resistant.)

[@noahsibahi-jackson8757]

In theroy given you are already doing 1.3 million damage per second with the lighting storm master destruction spell via the fortify destruction potion, you may as well just use a novice sparks lightning spell, with zero magic cost, and duel cast it while you will do less damage you will still do more than enough to one shot every enemy in the game without needing a charge time

@@pozatat I think what was meant is that some of the spells don't do magic-based damage. Bound Bow, Sword, and Battleaxe all just conjure up a Daedra in the form of said weapon and do physical damage equivalent to the respective Daedric weapons scaled off your archery, one-handed, and two-handed skills respectively rather than your Conjuration skill. This, technically, makes those spells martial based rather than magic based as their effectiveness has nothing to do with how good of a mage you are but how good of warrior you are.

I've made many runs using magic only in the vanilla game without exploits, it's pretty simple Basically use conjuration to create meat shields to protect you and destruction to blow everyone off, no need to exploits the unique thing that botthered me was the fact that you can't craft cloth equipments :l

@@PrinceSamurai45 More magic and regen also does not make you magic stronger, by using the resto loop you can buff the fortify illusion/destruction and so forth enchants to make spells cost 100% less l, that makes all spells cost nothing and that means you effectively have infinite mana, its faster than going for a insane magic and regen amount using the same exploit while at the same time giving a infinite yield compared to a finite cap.

Spiff, I would point out that there's an easier way to do this challenge. Once you get to the Fortify Destruction potions section, just grab the Flame Cloak spell from Faralda (or from a location on the coast between Dawnstar and Winterhold), and use a potion whenever you cast the cloak, as it increases the radius of your damage proportionately to the damage potency, meaning you don't even have to aim. Anything hostile to you that enters that radius will die, because it unwittingly walked into a natural disaster from a kilometer away, and it is glorious.

[@imadecoy.]

He could also use conjuration to summon things to kill (not that fast but consistent), or use his mass resurrection exploit to get infinite targets to kill repeatedly.

[@maniac7770]

@@imadecoy. Actually not quite so, at least for Atronachs. If he's operating on the 100% magic absorption build, for whatever reason, you absorb your own Atronach spells, meaning you can only do Necromancy and Bound weapons while that immunity is in place. But my point was that the Flame Cloak Spell is amazingly efficient for it because you can kill enemies before you see them with the Flame Cloak, no aiming required, while allies remain unharmed.

[@imadecoy.]

@@maniac7770 Ah yes, forgot about that issue. I think the main problem with the flame cloak is just that you need to find a good supply of enemies, which could take a while if you don't have a lot of locations discovered for fast travel. Shouldn't be an issue if you've got some big bandit/forsworn camps.

[@maniac7770]
