Anniel is best mage, he almost recreated the what the Tribunal did to the Heart of Lorkhan....

Spoiler

if only he had sunder, then it would've worked, poor poor foolish Anniel, still brilliant man.

they did give you some history on skyrim before throwing an apprentice into an extremely dangerous situation. Guess they aren't the most beginner friendly school.

Yea they seem like they would run through apprentices quickly the way they handle the school. What if it wasn't us who had to go through the dungeon with Tolfdir? I doubt that person would've survived.

There's this book in Skyrim. It is titled "Galerion the Mystic." Read it.

Mannimarco is the best imo. I'm a necromancer at heart.

Kinda wish he'd find a way to cheat out of death's grip again...

yea, was dissapointed with the collage felt more like a guild then a collage sense you never really learned anyhthing

I think the reason the college was so small in consideration to the fact it didn't actually have learning facilities would be that some of them were destroyed during the great collapse but this really seems not true because of the fact that everyone says the college was untouched.

He doesn't have too, he is a god and not a daedra but an aedra, its kinda funny since his planet revolves around arkay, not sure if it was unintentional or as an insult to arkay.

There is a disturbing lack of Sotha in this thread.

Having alot of power does not mean you are the greatest. In Savos's case he has the most experience, which in truth is what magic is about. Therefore, he is the greatest.

Yeah in the college, but the others with him and the previous arch mages could have been much better so therefore he is not the greatest. He may not even be the current greatest, just knows enough about magic to lead the college.

edit- I am also considering experience in this.

You guys don't get the point, I'm talking about the greatest mage in Skyrim THATS ALIVE.

» Fri Jun 22, 2012 1:38 pm

Uhhh that doesn't make him the greatest o.o it makes him lucky.

Exactly, I mean, both my characters are guild leaders, yet they don't even touch magic

Sotha sil was awesome but his powers were increased by the Heart of Lorkhan, thats kinda cheating >.>

Who else currently alive that is stronger than Archmage Savos Aren? Akatosh? I already pointed out that this thread is about mages still currently living during his time.

The fact that the College is the only major faction you can join that's not either shades of grey or evil and it's weakly written was very disappointing.

+1

You guys don't get the point, I'm talking about the greatest mage in Skyrim THATS ALIVE.

That would be me then. Or one of the Dragon priests. :cool:

have you not considered the fact that it may have been possible one of those many conjurers living in caves could have been greater. We didn't even see much about Sarvos to say he was even great.

» Fri Jun 22, 2012 11:29 am

I see... so no one in particular was currently better than Savos Aren.

Which just brings me to my point.

The library was suppose to be bigger and it lacked both classrooms and more students, it was a major disappointment and pretty much just looks like a large castle then a university of magic.

Agreed, they could have done much better.

They would have been more popular...I mean if you are the greatest mage, people will surely know about you..

As I said in my previous point, their is no prove he is the greatest in skyrim, just the one who runs the college.

Bah! You never let me have any fun!

Haha that was cold. But seriously Morokei is stronger than Savos.

Read the Warp in the West. That guy you fought may not have been Mannimarco.

why is that true? If you are a great mage in a land very antimagic why would you want people to know of you, especially if you do things along the lines of necromancy and consorting with daedra. I did not even know of sarvos until someone in the college tol me about him. I heard of tavern in oblivion and divaeth fyr in morrowind, but not sarvos.

A dragon priest? (correct me if I'm wrong) I wouldn't count ancient beings that have been around for 23958235 years. Lol, I'm talking more the greatest human mage.

Who else currently alive that is stronger than Archmage Savos Aren? Akatosh? I already pointed out that this thread is about mages still currently living during his time.

Fyr could still be alive, I mean why not? 200 years is nothing for him and I doubt the eruption killed him due to the fact he could probably teleport his island anywhere he wants. 200 years is like a year for a 4000 year old wizard, plus theres still could be better mages as far as we know.

Read the Warp in the West. That guy you fought may not have been Mannimarco.

I have a theory that when Mannimarco ascended to godhood he freed himself of his mortal body which was the one that got killed, just an empty husk that he used to do his work on Nirn.
