Fixed that for you

Making a Maomer serpent with spell creation, a telepathic feeding spell, or an inquisitors custody spell. Yeah, cant do those without spell creation.

Cooked food doesn't give you much health, not nearly as much as potions do. You think eating cooked food in a fight or drinking potions is in any way more realistic than healh regen?

Explain this logic to me, im dying to hear it.

And what would those have actually done?

One of my favorite was to summon bound armor (harder in Morrowind since well there were a lot more armor pieces), a bound sword, and some ward spells with one cast.

I also miss having multiple summon spells, so I could create my skeleton army like a true necromancer should.

I always felt paralyze was a bit of a cheat, but I did enjoy using long lasting DOT spells, as they were lower mana than a instant damage.

Other nice ones were setting up a long acting healing over time spell before a big fight. It would have to be low magnitude of course, but it worked quite nicely.

Some of these were quite important as I'd try to play as a true "pure" caster at times never using a weapon for any kills.

How about: water walking, drain health, damage health, weakness to magic/shock/fire/ice, slowfall, burden, feather, open lock, etc.

Oh you meant neat spell effects as a result of spellmaking?
-light on target, frenzy on target
-damage health slowly, calm
-damage health, burden (won't be able to move)

Erandur thinks health regen breaks his game, yet he will admit that he would eat cooked food while in a fight. ROFL

Good, more challenge, which is my point. I don't need all that stuff when I'm a pure warrior tank. I already addressed realism. I couldn't care less about it, since it fills the game. Get back to me when loot is actually on your person, when you have to inflate goat skins to traverse deep rivers.

That's a different argument. I'm not defending the removal of the spells, just the spellmaking.

mom's steak recipe reminds me of home AND restores the damage of massive blood loss XD

No, you asked what effects you can't do. The answer to that is, among other things, water walking, drain health, damage health, weakness spells, slowfall, burden, feather, open lock, and so on.

Yeah, i updated my post when I realized what you meant.

I figured you were going to try to have an intelligent conversation, I was wrong. Again, Beth couldn't care less about realism, look at all of the unrealistic things in ES, not to mention I never once said I even did eat during combat. In previous games, where you'd be regening health after a skirmish in Skyrim, Id be eating, not during battle. If your tank cant make it through a skirmish without spamming potions, your doing it wrong. Auto health regen is forced on the player and is stupid, hand holding.
Maomer serpent magic will turn your horse into a "maomer serpent". Telepathic feeding is for feeding on NPCs...with your mind, and the Inquisitor spell was for transferring heretics and divinators to the Temple steps for execution.

...how could you have done any of those in the old spellmaking system? What does it matter if the game has one or not if you want to make spells that can't be made either way?

Cathalo mocks someone for thinking a hand-holding feature makes the game too easy, using the argument that an alternative is also unrealistic. Despite the fact that nobody gives a toss about realism, since they haven't yet strung up gamesas for having all weapons boiled down into a mere two [censored] skills or for having horses in the game without anyone having the common sense to use weapons from horseback or use dedicated anti-horse weaponry.

Sorry pal, but you're not making much sense at all. Your incoherent fan-rambling may be badass for your fellow yes-men but rationally speaking, it really doesn't flatter you.

I think he was asking about the ACTUAL mechanics of the spells, not their RP function

Most of the cut effects are still there if you look hard enough, or are willing to start combat with a bow in your hand.

Er, I made all those spells. Hell, I was making Frost trap "rune" spells in vanilla Oblivion as well.

But you still can do those. Without even needing to make new spells

The spell in each hand mechanic can make those. Mage Light/Frenzy, some damage spell/calm, damage spell/paralyze, etc.

Uh, did you have mods or something? Pretty sure this is completely impossible in Oblivion.

I'm sorry the ritual stone gives me a skeleton army?

Damage health potions are the same as a 50 damage a second touch DOT spell? Of course they didn't have to be touch they could be bolt or AOE.

svcking potions is the same as a heal of time spell?

You are grasping there skippy.

Anyways I'm to bed and soon a moderator will appear and put in the "soft censorship" 10 page limit. I wonder if they still pretend that its due to the forum not being able to handle long threads like they did when Oblivion came out.

Nope, no mods. I am he who was once him remember. Frost for X amount, in Y amount of area, for Z amount of seconds. Cast that on the ground. It will linger and act as a "trap". This only works with Frost however.

But if you're just using your imagination, what does it matter? Use your imagination.

Throw a mage light on the ground and say it's one of those spells. You were doing something like that in oblivion anyway.

No you can't. There is no light on target, magelight doesn't stick to an actual NPC like it used to. There is no damage spell in this game that damages it slowly, Blizzard is as close as it gets and that simply isn't slow/long-lasting enough. Again, burden is not the same thing as paralyze, there is a reason I preferred to use burden, it was more humorous and also less game-breaking. This could all be easily fixed with spellmaking and more spell effects.
