Skyrim Melee builds

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.
