Magic
From OblivioWiki
Magic is the practice of manipulating mystical forces to cast spells, which can inflict damage, restore health, remove negative conditions, provide protection from harm, boost attributes or skills, summon beasts, or manipulate the game world in another form. Unlike The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, your magicka regenerates, unless your birthsign is The Atronach, or if you are inflicted with the disease Astral Vapors.
In the Elder Scrolls, magic is cast using magicka, the equivalent to energy or mana in other games. There are six schools of magic, each with a certain set of spells:
As these skills increase in level, your understanding of that school of magic also increases, reducing the mana cost of your spells. Increase in skill does not affect spell damage or magnitude.
[edit] Magic Items
Throughout Cyrodiil there are several magical items that have been enchanted with spells that are normally cast by a character. They normally have limited use; most with a few exceptions can be recharged, and some, such as scrolls are only single use. The special exception is that enchanted armor and clothing are constant effect items. Once you have entered the Arcane University, you are also able to create your own enchanted items as well as your own spells.
- Enchanted weapon
- Enchanted armor and Enchanted clothing
- Enchanted jewelry
- Magic scroll
- Staff or stave
[edit] Magical Stones
These fit into two categories
- Elven stones - These special stones can be retrieved from various elven ruins. When activated, they bestow a certain magic upon the user.
- Enchanting stones - Used to create and recharge enchanted items
- Sigil Stone – Only found in the plane of Oblivion
- Soul Gem – Found almost anywhere there is loot to be had, also can be found filled and unfilled in magic shops.
[edit] Natural Stones
These shrine-like stone pillars can be found in various parts of Cyrodiil and bestow power from the heavens when activated.
