Skyrim character builds

Skyrim character builds, made and shared by the community. Each build lays out standing stone, skills, perks and enchanted gear, with approximate character stats for the whole setup.

With a stealth archer, a spellsword, a pure mage, a two handed barbarian or an illusion assassin in mind, open a build to see every perk point, or copy one and shape it into your own character.

This build is a tweak of the "True Warlock" build posted here by @Halkaun.

The changes are designed for play on Adept/Expert.

Spell absorption has been removed; instead, the build relies on the healing power of the Staff of Magnus, Histskin, and Vampiric Drain to sustain mana via Equilibrium.

The melee aspect has been dropped in favor of a purely arcane focus.

No mods, no CC needed.

Thanks to the author of the original build for such magnificent work.

The Fishing Creation is required for this build, but substitutions can be made if you don't mind missing out of the roleplaying aspect.

Sword in one hand, torch in the other, this scoundrel creeps though tombs searching for forgotten treasures.
