new here, sorry if this has been done b4.


here's some examples of really good spells:
Useful spells

"Gods Wrath"
This is my most powerful spell it has :shock 100 for 120secs 100ft. fire 100 for 120secs 100ft. frost 100 for 120secs 100ft. And lastly bound all armor and bound claymore for 120secs:cool:

Meh, they use spell stacking in that link, I mean that's just boring... for normal, creatable spells in-game...

I made a shock spell that is something like...
25 shock damage for 5 seconds
50% weakness to shock

so it does like 187 damage in a single cast, for magic casters that's pretty much death, for normal melee it takes about 45% of their health away and big monsters like orges even loss about 25% of their health too. However my destruction is not capped on this character.

a fire spell as such
70 fire damage for 1 second at 10 foot

simple spell, but for a group enemy or one very resistant to shock, then this spell is used for that case. I generally try to use it when there are 3~4 enemy close to each other in what case it can spread around 210~280 damage to a group, very nice damage against a group really. again destruction isn't capped yet.

For spells I have made in the construction kit...

Death...
does as it says on the tin, even kills Muhrunes Dagon without so much as a whimper.

Falling Star
instantly moves the victim about 100 meters upwardly... makes most fall to their deaths. Great fun to use on guards!

the spell they listed are actually very good,
not all of them require stacking.

like the leveling spell, fence, and rocketpack.
those are really interesting(though rocketpack
could involve stacking if you wanna be really
fast).

i started out as a stealth fighter(assasin?),
but once i found out i could make spells at
the frostcrag spire i started using leveling
spells to get all my magic skills to 50.
i wasn't in the mages guild at the time.

also, that drain skill is very useful for
master training.

i made some fun frenzy spells called mania,
maniac, and chaos.

Maybe not in game make able, but its the ultimate NPC protector when needed:

100% chameleon, 1000 Burden, paralyze, silence, and 100 damage reflection, and 100 points restore health and fortify health 10000 points

that is on target all for 120 seconds

I made the same one for 60 seconds

its for my cheat account but it can be handy when you want to preserve / protect certain NPC's like mazoga or Martin
or even that one knight from Thorn Lodge
that son of cheydinhalls dark elf Count!

Worm Coffin: Paralyze 120 secs absorb health 100 points for 40 secs
Ice Coffin: Paralyze 120 secs frost damage 30 pt.s for 120 secs
Death Seal: Soul trap 120 secs fortify health 100 pt.s for 40 secs and absorb health 50 pt.s for 120 secs

I like your spells, did you make then with an altar or with the CS?

do you mean me? if so, those were done with an altar in my cheat save.

I made a spell that automatically kills people in one hit (literally scripted to kill) but costs a ridiculous amount of magicka.

nice, keep them coming,
also, don't forget the
to mention your skill levels.

About spell making, do you need to cast each type of spell to use it.
For example i have never used a paraylse spell, and when at a spell making altar i dont see paraylse.
If i used this spell would i then be able to create spells with the effect?

Found the answer on the UESP

You can only create custom spells using effects of spells that you know and are able to cast

pretty sure you have to be ABLE
to cast it b4 you can enchant
something with it.

to able you need an actual spell
with paralysis in your inventory,
high enough skill level in skill,
and enough magicka to cast it.

what i do is i buy the weakest spell
for sale with that effect, that way
i'm bound to meet the skill level
and magicka requirements.

he said he already found the answer himself
