Skyrim Mage builds

A stealthy vampire mage who toys with enemies using illusions, paralysis, and summoned minions before finishing them with a well-aimed life drain or fire spell.

I would join the College of Winterhold, the Thieves Guild, and the Dark Brotherhood early to help level your skills and acquire gear.

Based loosely on the titular character from the Overlord game series. This character is a heavily armored battlemage who summons allies, fires off powerful spells, and crafts its own powerful gear.

Focus on leveling Conjuration early and use your sword and Destruction spells as backup until you have enough Magicka to blast constantly in fights.

Smithing and selling enchanted daggers keeps you flush with cash for spells while leveling your crafting.

Build limited to only 6 skills. Main Skill (Illusion) has a 10 perk investment, Minor Skills have a 5 perk investment. This build is a Stealthy Rune Mage, master of runes in all forms who wreaks havoc from the shadows and at distance.

Build limited to only 6 skills. Main Skill (Blocking) has a 10 perk investment, Minor Skills have a 5 perk investment. This build is a Lightly Armoured Shield Mage who uses restoration and alteration, alongside a shield as main damage output to become a frontline support.

An sneaky argonian leeching with drain spell, shouts and poison runes toying with his prey until it decide to became a tormenting force using knockbacks, bleeding and poisons so potent that they will reduce the poor prey to ashes if not cautious. When the prey die, the toxic komodo will eat it nourrishing and reinforcing himself until he found his next prey.

Need the improved atronach glitch, to permit unlimited leeching and reinforce his low magickal.

Based off of Ysgramor and old Nords who did not judge or shun magic. Frost destruction, restoration for hewling and alteration for added protection. Wears light armor and wields twohanded weapons like a traditional barbarian. Join and finish the Companions and Dawngaurd. Joins the college of winterhold for access to spells, but does not become archmage (roleplay).

TLDR • College of Winterhold, Companions, Empire, Dawngaurd, destroys DB, revokes HM, no thieves guild. • Sword and Board with some magic (Shouts, Alteration buffs, enchanting)

Build limited to only the skills with starting bonuses. Main Skill has a 10 perk investment, Minor Skills have a 5 perk investment
