When I use to roll with a Breton in Oblivion, I used the Apprentice stone which greatly assisted in the game. But now with the nerfed resistant of the Bretons [still POod about that] is the Apprentice stone still a viable option for a Breton mage?

I am not a big mage user so i guess i shouldn't be posting....but i couldn't help but to throw something down.

What about rocking the Atronach Stone for +50 Magicka + 50% spell absorption? The regeneration ability can still be boosted by 50% from Restoration's 'Recovery' perk.

I guess i'm just all about variety..

Cheers & Happy hunting

the apprentice stone is bad.

either stick with the mage stone or get the atronach stone. it also soaks up your conjuration, though.

so if you use conjuration you either stick with the mage stone or you get the lord stone.

btw. magicka > magicka regen

I refuse to use the Atronauch stone until it is patched. Otherwise, yeah no.

why, whats wrong with the atronach stone? is it bugged?

It absorbs My conjuration spells. It should only absorb my enemies incoming hostile spells, imo. And needs to be fixed.

Specifically, the "Absorb" ability (either from the stone, or perk) also has a chance to absorb your "Conjure Atronach/Dremora/etc" spells.
If you want to use conjuration and absorb, stick to bound weapons and reanimate spells - they're if I remember correctly.
