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.

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...

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.)

@@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.

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.

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.

@@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 discovered a similar exploit without the enchantment and alchemy. Using the secret of sorcery power from the filament and filgree black book in the dragonborn dlc, you can activate powers with no cost for 30 seconds.
