I've got to level 10 and I finally decided to try and get some character planning done. And I'm curious about the possibility of squeezing a school of magic into my melee characters build perks.

My main questions is how much magicka is needed to cast the expert and master level spells - so I can calculate if this is going to conflict with my needing high stamina and health for the melee part.

Second quesion, is for people with melee builds around level 30 and above...how much stamina are you needing in your fights?

thanks in advance

It depends on skill, enchantments and perks obviously. I have no diea what the base cost is.

...........................obviously. Thanks for that very useful observation. I'm looking for the a rough base cost estimation. Ballpark.
