if this becomes DLC what combinations do you hope for

in the vid they showed flames + conjure familiar = flame atronach

if this is implemented how would it be better than just useing the flame atronach spell? cost less magicka but last for shorter amount of time ?

id like to use Sparks + Chain Lightning to get this type of effect

or Lightning Wall + Chain Lightning for a more powerful verson


what would you like to see if this becomes a reality ?

I doubt it would be different. It was probably more of an idea for an alternate magic system. As another example, instead of purchasing Fire Cloak, you could combine fire wall + steadfast ward. There could be a basic rune that does non-elemental damage unless combined with an elemental spell. Combine Frost Rune + Frost Wall for a rune that explodes into a frost wall. Combine paralysis + bound bow for an overpowered magic bow with a paralysis enchant.

really thought this thread would be more active .-.

I made a similar thread. it got 3 replies i believe.

if this is put in game it could potentially be better than spell making .-.

That would never be better than spellmaking.

How could it never be better than spell making?

in both morrowind and Oblivion all spell "making" did was allow you to tweak a spell it never actually created anything new

I personally think it would be a great idea, it would at least bring some more variation to magic than the small amount of spells currently.

elaborate?

in MW / OB all spellmaking actually did was tweak the existing spells nothing new actually came of it....

combining spells for different effects would be awesome and suddenly the system becomes alot more Varied/Dynamic and unique for the player.

so no one has any ideas on what spells theyd want combined for a certain type of effect .-. ?

Chain Lighting + Blizzard = Lightning Blizzard that shoots lightning at the target(s) inside its AOE it from every direction

Zombie + FLame atronach = Flaming Zomie, could even explode on death.

Ice Spike + Life Syphon (the vampire spell) = shoots ice at a target keeping it in place for 3 seconds and drains 50 hp per second, im no balancer so thats probably OP.

Conjure Weapon + fire / ice / resto spell = Fire / Ice / Life stealing sword.

Re-animate Zombie + Familiar = Werewolf summon? (would that fit in with lore or break everything? )

Reanimate Zombie + Ice spike = a small Ice baulder / Wall

Frost Ball + fire Ball = Finisher move when you cast this and get a finisher it freezes and then shatters the enemy.

Ward + Fire ball = fire shield, run at your enmies and set them alight (like the flame spell you get to start with)

Fury + Fire ball = a pannicked running enemy that charges at his comrades setting them alight (but not attacking) but his comrades attack him.

Telekanisis + flames / ice spike / lightning = Flame / ice / lighniing wall which burns/freezes/disitergrates any arrows fired at you and lasts 20 seconds draining 200 per ten seconds, so 400 mana total?


....just off the top of my head.

I dont play a mage. I want everything in that video to be put in.

Circle of Protection + Flame Cloak = fiery ring that does damage and repels undead

Calm + Fury = Fear
Fury + Fear = Calm
Fear + Calm = Fury

Calm + Healing = Drain Stamina
Fear + Healing = Drain Magicka

The assumption in here is that this is going to create new spells. Watching the video, no new spells were created. Existing spells were combined in interesting ways to create... already existing spells. If anything, that makes it sound like dynamic spell making. Dynamic spell making is interesting, but I'd rather be able to cook up my own

I just want the giant mudcrab.
