We know Mysticism is out of Skyrim, but it's spell effects aren't. So where will they go in terms of other schools?

Will mark and recall make a return?

Will new spells make their debut?

What do you guys think?

I'm thinking that Alteration will absorb at least Telekinesis. Conjuration might take soul trap. Restoration may take dispel. Illusion may take detect. Not sure about absorb and reflect. I guess restoration might work for absorb and alteration could take reflect as it already has shield. I guess that means Destruction is left out in the cold

. But then again, some spells from other schools may migrate to make room for the mysticism ones, Alteration is looking to be huge now.

Mysticism will go, over, there

They'll all go to Alteration.

Posted: **Wed May 18, 2011 3:02 pm**

That would overpower Alteration

But you're probably right.

I kinda hope so, so I can focus on Alteration and Destruction as my magic skills. But, I hope not for balance.

I think it'll be more like you said, Alteration would get Telekinesis, and possibly reflect, illusion could have detect, conjuration could have soul trap... I just hope they don't remove any effects like they did with levitate.

The problem with oblivion mysticism was that the absorb spells all were moved to Restoration and that mark/recall , divine and almsivis intervention werent implemented.

I would guess:

Detect Life and Telekinesis - Alteration
Dispel - Restoration
Soul Trap - Conjuration

and then there are left Reflect Spell/damage and Absorb Spell either they will go to restoration( as giving them to alteration would make it to powerfull) or they arent implemented and only achievable through items.

I'm hoping that Bethesda brings back at least Mark and Recall (and some kind of Skyrim orientated teleportation/transportation spell- maybe Skyrim will have it's own tribal/shamanistic cult in addition to an Imperial cult) to Skyrim, now that they seem to have acknowledged that a fair number of people like to play without Fast Travel and have thus provided alternatives like Carts.

I'd probably see these spells go into Alteration.

Did anyone actually use Dispel?? I didn't.....

Posted: **Mon May 23, 2011 9:18 pm**

Yep, I did. It can be quite useful.

Posted: **Wed May 25, 2011 7:15 pm**

I tried dispel on my Chameleon spell once... it did NOT work...

Posted: **Wed May 25, 2011 7:19 pm**

It wasn't strong enough then.

Posted: **Thu May 26, 2011 5:52 pm**

Oh yeah... on topic... Mysticism will disperse and some will go over there, some will go down that hole, and some will commit suicide.

Necropost, but it has been confirmed that Alteration is picking up Detect Life.

Posted: **Tue Aug 16, 2011 1:03 pm**

I really, really, really think Soul Trap should go to Enchantment. Even if it's the only spell tied to that school, it is very logical why it should be associated with that particular school.

Enchanting is not a school of magic, so it has no spells.

Enchanting is strictly used for crafting magical items, on a par with Smithing and Alchemy.

And tell me what the purpose of Soul trap is?

To create soul gems of which the main purpose is to recharge magical items. Prior to this if you wanted a character to specialise in Enchanting as a craft but without having other magical skills you were SOL if you wanted Soul Trap. As far as I'm concerned, whilst you have a small bit of logic in what you say, doing what I suggest would be a far better suggestion for gameplay because really, what use is taking an entire school of magic when you just want soul trap to make good use of magic items?

Detect Life is now in Alteration as shown in the leaked Quakecon demo.

For the couple that have asked in this thread about Mark/Recall....
Todd Howard said in one of his many interviews, that Mark and Recall will not be in Skyrim.
I can't recall which interview it was, there has been so many, but it was posted on these forums.

*snicker*

Umm, yeah. Mark and Recall would be gamebreaking and would make a lot of puzzles and things pointless.

Posted: **Tue Aug 16, 2011 5:11 pm**

Yeah, like levitation and the two intervention spells. It would be nice if mark,recall + 2 interventions would be in there, just only usable if you don't fight something.

Posted: **Tue Aug 16, 2011 5:52 pm**

Is it possible that the School is still there, but the skill isn't?

Posted: **Tue Aug 16, 2011 5:53 pm**

No, the School is gone.

Posted: **Tue Aug 16, 2011 5:58 pm**

I watched the Quakecon video and it showed the magic schools. I could look at it again. *Sheepish*

Posted: **Thu Aug 18, 2011 6:18 pm**

Honestly, they'll probably just trash Telekinesis all together. Kind of like Morrowind and Levitate
