This. You'd think since they took away spell making in Skyrim, they'd have put various magnitudes of the same spell, such as Novice/Apprentice/Adept/Expert versions of Flames/Frostbite/Sparks and Rune spells, to make up for the lack of spell making. Yet, they took away both spell making AND the varying magnitudes of spells. It's a joke. Magic is just a joke in Skyrim.

For the PC there are mods and I doubt Beth will o anything since it's obviously unneeded.
It would be better if they just buffed up the spells. Some new-old high lvl sells with lotsa damage. I want my flames spell to actually cause better damage damn it.

I can see Bethesda's answer now. Nords hate magic,thus Skyrim magic svcks by default of the Lore.
Yet every single anemy does more damage then me. Curse you nordic ways of skyrim player character

Before any new spells lets get destruction magic beefed up so its not a waste of perk points at higher lvls. Or at least enchantable spell damage boosts on armor and ring etc.

Open spells please!

There's quite a bit of spells, but some variety in the higher level 'copies' of earlier spells wouldn't hurt. Incinerate, for example, could look a bit like Bioshock's version.
Additionally, with the addition of Vampiric Grip, I'd like to see Telekinesis have a similar effect when used on foes. Without the draining effect, of course. The coding's there, the 360 just lacks the CK to add it..

Double post! ^^'

Nah, mate, jokes are funny. Magic in Skyrim is sad.

Ah man. If this was facebook.. I would totallly like that comment ha ha!

Has anybody ever found out how exactly the developers deemed that the crafting grinding slipped through the testing process. And what numbers they are holding on to decare Destruction as a viable school of magic? I wonder if it is all based upond the duality of the spells (ice and stamina drain) and impact.

I need to do some research to see how they would like Destruction viable in Masters. Or maybe Magic is the most polished numbers and that is what they based everthing on... humm

Short range Teleport. Like a Conjuration spell. Except instead of summoning something where you point, you teleport to where you point (range can be limited similar to summoning range with 2/2 Summoner, maybe further). The effect for disappearing is similar to banish, reappearing is similar to the summon effect (basically what the handful of teleporting NPC spells looks like). Expert level Alteration spell of course.
