Where to get destruction tomes skyrim
Ice Storm is kind of OP even when enemy mages are using it. So the dual casted stagger version a PC can cast is basically an ice wall that moves forward.
If it can be cast many times over it literally is impossible for any melee oriented enemy to get near you and the range ones can get stun locked. Add on the slowing effect and stamina drain and you can be quite confident that your mage will survive most encounters easily. The character I had that used the spell solely was a pacifist but she sure did not need another spell to keep the enemies back, not sure there is anything else even remotely close to the stalling it caused on multiple targets.
Although Chain Lightning was quite OP as well going round corners and hardly missing mind. But it did not slow them down which was the main thing about ice spells of course. Yeah I really like chain lightning. This allows my squishy mage to clear a room without even having to go into it.
Good idea, I always knew those Storm Atronachs must have some use! Mostly they're just "statues" that get in my way my follower casts them a lot [my fault], and still they always surprise me More topics from this board How do I fix the 0kb bug in skyrim?

User Info: MattKroll MattKroll 2 years ago 1 Dear Pyromaniacs: I'm exploring the college in Winterhold and am trying to find a vendor who will sell better spells than what i have. I am using Firebolt and want something that packs more of a punch. Craving destruction, Matt. Try initiating this spell from stealth to give you that extra time to charge up. The charge-up time is the downfall of the other two spells. When charged, Fire Storm will deal big damage in an explosion and leave some lingering flames.
Its damage is pitiful against stronger foes, but can be used to level armies of small mobs like skeletons and skeevers. Blizzard is another bag all its own. Its only merit might be draining stamina. The damage is pathetic. The only upside is that the Blizzard hangs in the area where it was cast for 10 seconds, so you can have it ready to assist you with approaching mobs. Sure, there are strategies for using these spells effectively but overall Blizzard and Fire Storm are lacking.
Why bother when you could simply destroy them with dual cast incinerate? Here's a list of the Destruction spells in Skyrim that are not quest-specific, by element in order of difficulty. I've included screenshots of some of these spells in action.
Please note that mana costs are base and for ocmparison only. Your mana cost will go down with destruction skill level and the half mana cost perks. Additionally, you can Enchant helmets, chest armor, necklaces and rings to reduce the mana cost of Destruction spells, even to 0.
Fire spells deal additional damage over time to enemies when they are hit by a spell. Early on, the Flames spell is the best choice for leveling Destruction. You can do massive amounts of damage to multiple enemies by spraying an area back and forth. To be mana-efficient and deal lots of damage to a single target, fire in quick bursts.
Fire spells take the least mana of the three types and will serve you well, but the Intense Flames perk causes enemies to flee - which is annoying. Frost and Shock type spells get more useful bonuses.
Ice spells deal their power as stamina damage to the target and slow them. Stamina damage can stop enemies from landing power attacks, which helps your defense - a benefit outshined by the ease with which you can kite slowed melee attackers. The problem with this school, is that it is the one most likely to be resisted due to the number of Nords in the game.
Compare that to Dark Elves who are resistant to Fire and the difference is staggering. So, your common bandit is likely to be a Nord. It's not a big deal though, the slowing effect is still very handy.
After all, if something is nearly immune to your frost spells odds are they are weak to Fire and you'll have those spells too. A lot of enemies will be resistant to this, but it can definitely help with groups of attackers and is particularly nasty with Area spells.
It's not all that useful as most casters go down fast, but its true impact is kind of hidden. A warrior who has a load of Health will probably be out of mana by the time he's low, preventing him from possibly casting a Restoration spell. Shock spells travel fastest of the three they are lightning bolts so they are much, much easier to aim. You won't need to lead a target with Lightning Bolt like you would with Fire Bolt. Lightning spells do use the most mana and aren't for long range attacks, but their mid-range damage can be devastating.
This element gets the coolest special perk, Disintegrate. Shock resistant enemies are very rare, while all Dwemer machines are weak to it. Novice, Apprentice, Adept, Expert, and Master Destruction all reduce the mana cost of Destruction spells of the same rank by half.
You'll need these if you want to level Destruction at all, as it's painfully slow using only flames or otherwise casting spells at twice their intended value.
Destruction Dual Casting level 20 Destruction Magic required is a requirement for any self-respecting Destruction Mage. This perk makes Destruction Mages the masters of burst damage in Skyrim. It costs more mana than both spells combined to dual cast, but it can let you dump mana into damage when you need something dead - fast.
Invaluable when you grab Impact. Impact level 40 Destruction Magic required allows you to stagger opponents when you dual-cast many Destruction spells. If you can dump the mana, you can keep them staggered.
Tip: don't expend mana while the opponent is on his knees. You can only initiate stagger when they're on their feet! Impact can interrupt a dragon's breath attack, so hit him right when he says the first word of his Thu'um. You may not want all of these, I skipped Frost.
With augmented fire and lightning I can either exploit a weakness or avoid a resistance on any mob in the game. Rune Master level 40 Destruction Magic required If you like runes, get this. You can set up marvelous traps without being detected by the enemy with sneak skill. They'll come investigating and.. Still, it's a perk point I regret at high level as I never use it. I can fry anything without stealth.
Intense Flames level 50 Destruction Magic required Worst of the 3 buffs to elemental damage. Also, it can cause you to lose track of corpses. This brings very little to your arsenal, but can be helpful defensively - fleeing, flaming mobs don't tend to fight back.
Doesn't work on everything. This can be a fun perk to see in action and is far better than Intense Flames. Sometimes items are lost in the process due to a patch but I barely notice. It's cool turning that big dragon into a little ash pile. It's also kind of easy to see the ash piles so you'll miss less loot.
