Does anyone know why magika regenerates like alot slower than when not in combat?

its set to drop to around 1/3 regeneration rate i think, it is one of the things that makes a pure mage (excluding a conjurer) nearly unplayable imo

I don't know. I saw that today. My magika reloaded in 1 sec when in combat and in other way, it's reloading in 1 min. lol

But I think it's because if it's not like that, you will be out of magika in 3 sec and you will die...

wait, what? magic is cut to 1/3 regeneration rate in combat, im always out of mana in 3 seconds and die run like a chicken with it's head cut off jsut to survive

I find it unfair that even if stamina is completely drained, attacks can still occur..
..no magicka though and you cannot cast, and i bet as a mage.. your constitution is poor.. meaning without the magic; you're dead.
You'll also regenerate stamina at what seems a faster rate.. what would you like to see happen to balance it?

i would like to see magicka costs cut drastically for spells, spells power boosted drastically or your mana regeneration boosted drastically. sadly beth has never been any good with spells (look at oblivion's premade spells, the cost/power ratio was all screwed up)

My sorceress has 650 magicka and yet it still takes forever for her magicka to regenerate. I thought if you had a larger magicka pool it would speed up your regen.

Finishing moves should have a chance to fail at zero stamina and when you got to zero or below you should fall down or be out of breath for a few seconds. This would also be true for npcs.

I'm applying all my perks to magika regeneration specific perk lines lol

Overall cost reduction is better.
