Hi Everyone,

I've got one for you. If you had to play the game with only 1 school of Elder Scrolls magic, Or to make it more interesting, if you were given one school of magic to use in the real world, which one would it be?

You can have all of the playable schools but also things like necromancy etc...

I would choose Destruction, so I can set the salesmen who come to my front door on fire.

Fun Fact: Necromancy is the only magic to appear in the Bible (and Torah) Old Testament.

Another Fun Fact: The necromancer was known as the Witch of Endor. And no she wasn't an ewok.

The morrowind Mysticism with the absorb effects and Divine/Almsivis Intervention and also Mark /Recall the most usefull I think.

Steal Powers(Life, Magicka, Skills) through absorb from everyone !

Teleport through your country .

Telekinesis! Detect!

I forgot to answer my own question in the title post.

I guess I'd probably have enchanting, i suppose it's kind of cheating because it uses all of the different schools, but I'd be able to Imbue objects with all sorts of magical effects. Problem is I'd have to persuade one of you mysticism guys to kill and soul trap stuff for me Also I'd need to find some soul stones.. AND possibly find an enchanting altar if we're playing by Oblivion rules.. OK i take it back, I agree with Chaos, I'd have restoration, then I'd basically be a super hero.

Being able to find my keys or a runaway pet is tempting

Let's see them guards STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM'ing me while I'm up there

Once I read The Four Suitors of Benitah I decided Restoration was my favourite. It probably has the widest number of useful real world applications. I like the idea of being able to fortify my intelligence at will, or fortify my strength so I could play basketball with boulders.

I can see mysticism, alteration or illusion being useful, but only for things like robbing banks or assassinating people.

With Mysticism you could also make mony as a magician .
Teleporting, moving objects, detect animals could amuse many people^^.

Mysticism for... soul trap.

I need it for... things.

By the way... do you happen to know what the fine is for necrophilia?

Illusion for sure, the ability to pretty much manipulate the personality of those around you, have the ability to perfectly control what they percieve about you, paralyze enemies no matter how strong. If there are any Bleach fans, think Sosuke Aizen

The School of Illusion that would be the one i would chose.

Alteration all the way here. I believe it would have very many uses, also it would be fun to use, fancy floating about mid air. Also jump and slowfall combination would be wonderful! I believe that breathing underwater would be very useful for things. Illusion would probably be a close second.

Conjuration for me. Assuming you can learn to summon things permanently later on. I'd have a pet clannfear to chill in my backyard with during nice summer days, Dremora Dark Seducers (I love those crazy Daedric Broads ) - Which I would arm with modern day weapons and equipment along with their usual assortment of spells - to guard my house while I'm away, and Flesh Atronachs as personal bodyguards. Hell, if I could have Conjuration IRL I would be known far and wide for the various flesh atronachs I'd have at my command. I just love those huge [&@%!] that much. lol


No undead, though. I could just imagine the smell now. Yuck!

To be honest I bet if any of us tried conjuration magic in real life (that is if it existed in real life) we'd end up like that Breton in one of the mages guild quests in Morrowind that tried to summon a scamp, but it proceeded to attack him and trash his house.

Restoration so i could live for ever mwahahahaaaa
