In the game jam video we saw two examples of Bethesda's idea for spell combinations...Renimate Corpse + Flame = Summon Flame Atronach? What purpose would this serve at all? I'm genuinely curious.

Also fear+healing = Drain Life...lol..seems pointless when you could just heal. Still interesting though.

spell combinations would be useful if you mixed spells to create a new effect, the flame spell and raise dead to make a flame atronach is laughable.

I do like the idea of drain life it was one of the spells we have lost but I think that should be a base spell.
