It seems I'm having nothing but bad luck with this game. So I first noticed that Alteration wasn't leveling up when I was doing the Restoration level up thing buy using Equilibruim and Fast Healing at the same time. My restoration was leveling up but Alteration was not. I didn't pay much attention to it. Now I'm focusing on Alteration and realized it's not working. I tried using Stoneflesh and was letting people attacking me and nothing. No leveling up. My Heavy Armor even leveled up. Am I doing something wrong!?

Equilibruim doesn't level up alteration try detect life in a populated area or telekinesis to continually hold up an object.

I can't find those spells ANYWHERE. Telekinesis wasn't in Labrynthia and whoever sells Detect Life (The College Guy) didn't have it. Ugh. I'm gonna give up.

Oakflesh and Transmute are two easy spells to use to train Alteration.

Casting any flesh spell in combat levels it, its really the fastest way.

Two good ways to level up Alteration:
1) Find Horkers and a rock. Jump on rock, Horkers can't reach you. Cast armor spells over and over. Level up once a while to reset magicka.
2) Find a wolf. Cast armor spells and heal yourself when necessary. Again level up when possible to reset magicka and run away from the wolf if you are in danger of dying.
