bumpity

sounds cool. Can't wait to see it actually made
Though only a 50% increase doesn't sound like very much-you can get that just with Morokei

Bumping isn't allowed, so I guess you haven't read the rules.

You should.

I think the negative points outweigh the positive ones, IMO. I wouldn't use this spell.

In other words, Lich Form. I'd rather have Lichdom be an alternate playstyle, like Lycanthropy or Vampirism, than a spell form.

It seems incredibly useless imo. The benefits gained are nowhere near worth the disadvantages. A mage that has leveled enough to get a Master Conjuration spell will likely have more than enough magicka so the magicka regen and lowered casting are useless, especially considering you need to put at least 10 level ups onto your magicka just to cast it.

Curing all diseases is already way easy in this game, a benefit like that might as well be "You get a weightless item you can't see upon casting"

The other resistances are a maybe, but most people will have some resistances from their racials or from their gear. But they aren't worth the losses.

Cool job but why more cons than pros?

Alrighty, changed it up a little

Also would like to point out I havn't literally "invented" this spell as in a mod, it's just an idea I had.

That's a horrible idea, sorry.

It's pretty obvious that this doesn't really fill any genuine niche in the game, but you just want to minmax your character with some powerful bonuses that are offset by a laundry list of drawbacks, most of which can be ignored depending on your play style.

Especially the whole criminal thing is absolutely silly, it has absolutely no effect if you play a criminal to begin with, but makes the spell unusable if you don't.


Things like No Melee, No Sprinting or No Health Regen might seem like a big deal, but in reality it's just a giant list of things a mage with 100 Conjuration doesn't have to do anyways.


So, yeaaa... See, the most important thing about suggesting anything in game design is this: You need to be able to clearly state why adding this would make the game better, and if your answer is something like "Because it makes one certain type of character stronger" (In this case criminal pure mages) and you can't say why that particular type of character needs to be stronger then you really haven't come up with anything that's a genuine improvement.

How long does it last? Your magicka should slowly drain and when it hits 0 it should turn off.

It's a little overpowerd.Anyway as being a Draug/undead you should be more resistant to damage,since they are already dead.

Nahh don't listen to him OP. Just learn to disguise your bumps as something that furthers the thread.

wow, the spell-creation system in Skyrim is even more powerful than Oblivion. Isn't it wonderful?

Sounds like the undead-form spell I encountered when I was still playing some D&D Online.
