What would you want to shape into and for what reason?
Lichform: While in this form all melee attacks carry the absorb life ability and a chance of slowing your target(effectiveness goverened by Alteration skill and damage dealt). Frost Spells deal 1.5% more damage with the chance of freezing your targets in a block of ice. Lichform will levitate bypassing pressure plates and allowing you to walk on water. Lichform also grants you 5 unique spells however while in this form your Magicka regen is lowered by 50% and you take more damage from Fire based spells.
Spells:
-Boil Blood: Target's blood begins to boil dealing damage over time. If your target dies while the effect is active, your target ruptures dealing extreme damage in a radius around them.
-Icy Touch: Nearby targets take Frost Damage and are encased in ice. After effect ends, enemies have the thawing effect and are slowed for 10 seconds.
-Invoke Shadows: Invoke shadows becoming invisible and muffling movement for x seconds.
-Lifetap: Transforms a portion of your Health into Magicka.
-Mass Hysteria: Fears living targets in a radius around the caster.
Oblivion had Lichform. Liches have always been a part of TES.
Spellswords need some loving. I find it frustrating that magic svcks so much unless you Enchant your armor Perk it to all high-heaven and Dual-Cast it. So much emphasis has been put on dual-casting, it more or less makes most hybrid specs not viable.
