i remember it in oblivion, i read books in skyrim and remember that the founder of the mages guild created the concept of all the schools, but it doesnt mention mysticism and if the founder of the mages guild came before oblivion and mysticism was in oblivion, then what happened to the school?

It's been Todded for redundancy.

Beth eliminated the skill and moved the spells to the other schools.

I roleplay that the Thalmor caused the eradication of that school and other magics when they tried to purge their weaknesses during the masser/secunda dissaperance and reappearance 4E 98-100. The end result, they are no longer weak towards the elementals and they made the Dunmer and Bretons weaker.

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Mysticism the best answer you'll probably get, it was taken out to simplify the magic system.

gamewise, simplification. I even think it was a bit too much of "The Leftovers" school

storywise, schools are based on culture and government. There's no more mages guild, and Skyrim was never fond of magic ... so the College probably don't really care about unexplained-mystic hocus pocus. Something intangable and impractical like that.

Besides, there were other schools that didn't get past TES3. Thaumaturgy, for example. Conjuration is pretty new, not being in the first two games.

Everyone complains about the removal of Mysticism, but scarcely a peep was raised about the removal of http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:Thaumaturgy_Spells. I blame all these Morrowind Johnny-come-lately's.














And yes, this is a joke...

This was discussed a lot even before the games release.

It was a simplification.

Too bad. Too bad about spell making also.



Ah yes, thaumaturgy! How could anyone forget about thaumaturgy!
