The bug with that is that it doesn't require you to invest to sell stolen goods. You still need the perk.

My favorite spell type is Ice

Also known as the spell everyone likes to be immune to.

It is getting annoying... I guess I'll branch into lightning.

Roughly how useful is the power word you get from, I think it's Ivarstead or something, Barrow, because it seems kind of meh from the description

Kyne's Peace? It's useful if you're constantly getting murdered by bears and sabre cats.

Yeah, I was up against a Draugh Overlord. He was AFK in a chair, so I poisoned my last ebony arrow, summoned a fire elemental, and let fly. He lost about 1/100 of his HP, came running, smashed my elemental to pieces and chased me down the corridor, me screaming like a little girl.

However, Along the way, I spat out frost sigil-trap things, and jumped over and around traps I hadn't sprung. By the time I had reached a dead end, he had lost most of his HP.

The final battle was in a cavern that had a ledge, staircase and a table. Dodging his heavy blows, I was smashing his face with the handle of my warhammer and countering with heavy hits.

He died, and I took his soul. Then a vampire came out of a side-passage I had missed, and me with my depleted HP, he started to drain me... So I began healing. We stood there for a while.

Could be nice then, my Spellsword is quite squishy. It'd sure come in handy on the way up to High Hrothgar for sure

The traditional balance of destruction spells was that a few people were resistant to ice, some people were heavily resistant to fire but others were heavily weak to it, and nobody really messes with lightning weakness/resistance.

 Although now you have fire bonus damage to burning targets, and only really Dark Elves that resist it. Both other choices are good choices.

[Gunner-Chan]

Given that it's set in you know... Skyrim. The most frozen province in the empire. The usual balance of ice and fire being in reverse makes a lot of sense.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

But using dualcast sparks looks badass. That's enough for me really.

[Cthulhu]

I'm playing a battlemage now.  Heavy armor, sword/spell, destruction and restoration mainly.  Maybe some conjuration later on.

I always wondered why the pools of water in the caves were rainbow colored, and joked about how there must've been some kind of oil spill in skyrim.  Then I cast a fire spell on one.  Oh.

I'm going to focus on lightning spells because this whole disintegration perk sounds cool.

[Azkanan]

Oh, this one was quite funny.

Spoiler: Imperial Mission (click to show/hide)

The mission was to sneak into the stormcloak fort and release the prisoners. Find their equipment, equip them, then charge out into the courtyard and take them down.

Well, I had done that. I came outside to check things out before the attack...



...Only to find my oh so faithful companion charging head-first through the gate, stirring up the everything. Lol.

I am not refering to resistance.

I mean immunity. The Sheer number of creatures that are immune to ice is getting dumb. I've been through multiple dungeons with all ice immune creatures.

Honestly... my advice to people who like Ice magic is to skip spending perks on it and stick to Fire or Lightning. Anything weak to Ice tends to be REALLY weak to ice anyhow.

And then bam, the most common atronauch? Fire.

Problem with Lightning? It accidentally's everything nearby.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

So? What's the fun in being a mage if there's no collateral. I never travel with companions anyway.

Really? Because ice worked pretty well for my 99% mage build in many situations, and left hilarious ice spikes in people's faces that sometimes never melted or vanished. Its fine on people and undead and most other things... obviously not ice wraiths or frost atronachs (atronachi?)

[Neonivek]

There are three major groups of enemies immune to Ice and the many more resistant.

And only ONE enemy immune to fire.

It isn't horrible... I just wish they didn't translate things as "It isn't alive, why would ice hurt it?" for things like ALL GHOSTS!
