Illusion school
SPELL NAME | SPELL LEVEL | DESCRIPTION AND COMMENTS |
Clairvoyance | Novice | Showing the path to the active quest's current destination. You won't have to use this spell at any point of the game, because the game's quests have been thoroughly described in other chapters of this guide. Besides the game doesn't feature any complex quests that force the main character to spend a lot of time searching for things or people. |
Courage | Novice | Forcing the targeted being to remain on the battlefield and adding points to its health and stamina pools. This spell should be casted on your ally for obvious reasons. |
Fury | Novice | Forcing creatures and people on level 6 or lower to attack everyone arround them. This spell works on only one targeted creature or person. |
Vision of the Tenth Eye | Novice | Noticing the unseen things. This spell is useless during normal gameplay and you only need it to successfully complete Ritual illusion spell College of Winterhold quest. |
Calm | Apprentice | Forcing creatures and people on level 9 or lower to stop fighting. This spell works on only one targeted creature or person. |
Fear | Apprentice | Forcing creatures and people on level 9 or lower to flee. This spell works on only one targeted creature or person. |
Muffle | Apprentice | Moving silently for 3 minutes. This is an excellent spell for a thief or an assassin and you should use it along with Invisibility. It's also a good spell to be used to quickly increase the Illusion skill, because it doesn't cost a lot of mana points and it's always counted towards the progress (you won't have to fulfill additional requirements). |
Frenzy | Adept | Forcing creatures and people on level 14 or lower to attack everyone arround them. This spell works on only one targeted creature or person. |
Rally | Adept | Forcing the targeted beings to remain on the battlefield and adding points to their health and stamina pools. This spell should be casted on your allies for obvious reasons. |
Invisibility | Expert | Becoming invisible for 30 second. This is an excellent spell for a thief or an assassin and the good thing about is that you don't have to spend money to purchase or find invisibility potions. I recommend using it along with Muffle (silent movement) for better effects. The invisibility stops working if the spell has ended, if the main character has attacked someone or if the main character has interacted with an object from the environment. |
Pacify | Expert | Forcing creatures and people on level 20 or lower to stop fighting. This spell can work on only one targeted being or on an entire group occupying a small area. |
Rout | Expert | Forcing creatures and people on level 20 or lower to flee. This spell can work on only one targeted being or on an entire group occupying a small area. |
Call to Arms | Master | Increasing the combat skills, health and stamina of the targeted beings for 10 minutes. The only way to unlock this spell is to purchase a spell tome from Drevis Neloren after completing Ritual illusion spell College of Winterhold quest. This spell can work on only one targeted being or on an entire group and obviously it should be casted on allies. |
Harmony | Master | Forcing creatures and people on level 25 or lower to stop fighting. The only way to unlock this spell is to purchase a spell tome from Drevis Neloren after completing Ritual illusion spell College of Winterhold quest. This spell can work on only one targeted being or on an entire group. |
Hysteria | Master | Forcing creatures and people on level 25 or lower to flee. The only way to unlock this spell is to purchase a spell tome from Drevis Neloren after completing Ritual illusion spell College of Winterhold quest. This spell can work on only one targeted being or on an entire group. |
Mayhem | Master | Forcing creatures and people on level 25 or lower to attack everyone arround them. The only way to unlock this spell is to complete Ritual illusion spell College of Winterhold quest (it's a reward received from Drevis Neloren). This spell can work on only one targeted being or on an entire group. |
Alteration school
SPELL NAME | SPELL LEVEL | DESCRIPTION AND COMMENTS |
Candlelight | Novice | Creating a ball of light which follows the main character. This spell may come in handy while exploring dungeons, caves and other dark locations. The ball of light remains for 60 seconds and the spell itself uses a very small number of mana points. |
Equilibrium | Novice | Converting 25 health points into 25 mana points per second. This spell can be obtained only by finding a spell tome in a location called Labyrinthian Chasm (5; 06) and it's best to achieve this while completing The Staff of Magnus College of Winterhold quest. Don't forget not to convert too many health points at once or you mind yourself on the brink of death. |
Oakflesh | Novice | Increasing the main character's armor rating by 40 points. The spell lasts 60 seconds. |
Magelight | Apprentice | Creating and leaving a ball of light in a specific spot. This is a rather useless spell. It's much better to use Candlelight spell, because you want the light to follow you around everywhere you go. |
Stoneflesh | Apprentice | Increasing the main character's armor rating by 60 points. The spell lasts 60 seconds. |
Detect Life | Adept | Detecting living beings through walls. You may consider using this spell if you want to improve your chances of avoiding enemy units or if you want to surprise them. Remember that you must use Detect Undead spell if you want to locate draugrs and skeletons. |
Ironflesh | Adept | Increasing the main character's armor rating by 80 points. The spell lasts 60 seconds. |
Telekinesis | Adept | Interacting with objects from a distance in order to pull them towards the main character. This spell is pretty much useless for everyone except for a thief, because you can use it to pull an object from afar while staying perfectly hidden. |
Transmutation | Adept | Transmuting one unrefined iron ore into one silver ore and transmuting one silver one into one gold ore. The only way to unlock this spell is to obtain a rare spell tome. It's sometimes sold by Enthir in College of Winterhold. You may also go searching for it to Halted Stream Camp (5; 14). Once you've found the camp enter a small underground cave and go to the chamber where you'll come acroos a leader of the bandits and a dead mammoth. |
Waterbreathing | Adept | Breathing underwater for 60 seconds. You probably won't have to use this spell too often. If you plan on casting it you should know that the game will give a few additional seconds to resurface even after it's stopped working. Don't forget that you can breathe underwater for as long as you want if you're an argonian. |
Detect Undead | Expert | Detecting the undead through walls. This isn't a useful spell, because you'll almost always want to eliminate the dead instead of just knowing about their presence. The only exception is if you want to increase your chances of avoiding stronger monsters. |
Ebonyflesh | Expert | Increasing the main character's armor rating by 100 points. The spell lasts 60 seconds. |
Paralyze | Expert | Paralyzing opponents in the affected area for 10 seconds. Don't forget that the spell will work only for enemies that will fail an attempt to resist it. |
Dragonhide | Master | Ignoring 80% of the received physical damage. The only way to unlock this spell is to complete Ritual alteration spell College of Winterhold quest (it's a reward received from Tolfdir). This is an extremely useful spell and you should be using it while going against enemy warriors. |
Mass Paralysis | Master | Paralyzing all opponents in the affected area for 15 seconds. The only way to unlock this spell is to purchase a spell tome from Tolfdir after completing Ritual alteration spell College of Winterhold quest. Don't forget that the spell will work only for enemies that will fail an attempt to resist it. |
Conjuration school
SPELL NAME | SPELL LEVEL | DESCRIPTION AND COMMENTS |
Bound Sword | Novice | Creating a magical sword for 120 seconds. This spell can prove to be an interesting additional, especially if you don't have anything against eliminating enemy units in close combat. It's worth mentioning that you can create two bound swords (one for each hand). |
Conjure Familiar | Novice | Summoning a familiar for 60 seconds. This spell may be useful to you only at the beginning of the game, because once you become a stronger mage you should start summoning atronachs. Remember to point at a correct spot on the ground to ensure that the familiar will appear. |
Raise Zombie | Novice | Reanimating a weak dead body to fight alongside the main character for 60 seconds. 'Weak body' means a dead being on level 6 or lower. |
Summon Unbound Dremora | Novice | Summoning an unbound dremora for 999 seconds. This spell is useless during normal gameplay and you only need it to successfully complete Ritual conjuration spell College of Winterhold quest. |
Bound Battleaxe | Apprentice | Creating a magical battleaxe for 120 seconds.

Conjure Fire Atronach | Apprentice | Summoning a fire atronach for 60 seconds. You should start using this spell as soon as possible and it can be useful also in the later stage of the game, especially since a lot of enemies your encounter are vulnerable to fire damage dealt by the atronach. Remember to point at a correct spot on the ground to ensure that the atronach will appear. |
Flaming Familiar | Apprentice | Summoning a flaming familiar which explodes when it comes in contact with a target. The only way of unlocking this spell is by receiving a spell tome as a reward from Anska for completing A Scroll For Anska side quest. Consider using the spell if you want to use the familiar to deal a single powerful blow that inflicts fire damage (best used on stronger opponents). |
Reanimate Corpse | Apprentice | Reanimating a more poweful dead body to fight alongside the main character for 60 seconds. 'More powerful body' means a dead being on level 13 or lower. |
Soul Trap | Apprentice | Filling a soul gem if an attacked being died in less than 60 seconds. This is a useful spell assuming you like to use magical items which need filled soul gems to work properly. It's worth mentioning that some weapons have a similar effect, so you can use them instead of this spell. You should also remember that the process itself can take place only if you have at least one empty soul gem in your inventory. |
Summon Arniel's Shade | Apprentice | Summoning Arniel's shade for 60 seconds. You can receive this spell automatically after completing Arniel's Endeavor College of Winterhold quest. The spell itself is useful only in the early part of the game, because Arniel is a very weak magical companion. Remember to point at a correct spot on the ground to ensure that Arniel will appear. |
Banish Daedra | Adept | Bashining weaker daedra to the Oblivion. This is a very useful spell which works on daedra (including atronachs) on level 15 or lower. If the daedra you're trying to banish is stronger than that you won't waste your mana and time, because the creature will be stunned. |
Bound Bow | Adept | Creating a magical bow for 120 seconds. This spell can prove to be a valuable addition, especially if you don't want to spend time searching for good ranged weapons or become forced to carry them in your inventory. An important thing to know is that you don't need to create any arrows, because you'll receive an inifinite amount of them for the duration of this spell. |
Conjure Frost Atronach | Adept | Summoning a frost atronach for 60 seconds. You should be using this spell while going against enemies with a reduced resistance to frost damage, because otherwise fire or storm atronachs are a better idea. Remember to point at a correct spot on the ground to ensure that the atronach will appear. |
Revenant | Adept | Reanimating a poweful dead body to fight alongside the main character for 60 seconds. 'Powerful body' means a dead being on level 21 or lower. |
Command Daedra | Expert | Taking control over powerful summoned or raised creatures. You should definately be interested in this spell, however it's worth knowing that it can be used to control daedra (including atronachs) only on level 20 or lower. |
Conjure Dremora Lord | Expert | Summoning a dremora lord for 60 seconds. You should be interested in this spell if you want to be accompanied by a powerful warrior, because dremora lords are excellent in melee combat. Remember to point at a correct spot on the ground to ensure that the dremora lord will appear. |
Conjure Storm Atronach | Expert | Summoning a storm atronach for 60 seconds. You should be using this spell while going against enemies with a reduced resistance to shock damage, because otherwise fire or frost atronachs are a better idea. Remember to point at a correct spot on the ground to ensure that the atronach will appear. |
Dread Zombie | Expert | Reanimating a very poweful dead body to fight alongside the main character for 60 seconds. 'Very powerful body' means a dead being on level 30 or lower. |
Expel Daedra | Expert | Bashining powerful daedra to the Oblivion. This is a very useful spell which works on daedra (including atronachs) on level 20 or lower. If the daedra you're trying to banish is stronger than that you won't waste your mana and time, because the creature will be stunned. |
Dead Thrall | Master | Reanimating a dead body to permanently fight alongside the main character. The biggest advantage of this spell is that you won't have to constantly repeat it and search for 'candidates' for revival. Remember to reanimate powerful enemies for best effects, especially since the spell can be used on dead beings on level 40 or lower. |
Flame Thrall | Master | Summoning a fire atronach that remains on the battlefield for good. The only way to unlock this spell is to complete Ritual conjuration spell College of Winterhold quest (it's a reward received from Phinis Gestor). The spell itself is extremely useful, however you should know that it needs a lot of mana before it can be casted. Remember to point at a correct spot on the ground to ensure that the atronach will appear. |
Frost Thrall | Master | Summoning a frost atronach that remains on the battlefield for good. The only way to unlock this spell is to purchase a spell tome from Phinis Gestor after completing Ritual conjuration spell College of Winterhold quest. The spell itself is extremely useful, however you should know that it needs a lot of mana before it can be casted. Remember to point at a correct spot on the ground to ensure that the atronach will appear. |

Restoration school
SPELL NAME | SPELL LEVEL | DESCRIPTION AND COMMENTS |
Healing | Novice | Regenerating 10 health points per second. This is the basic healing spell available in the game and you should switch it to something better as soon as you can, because otherwise the healing process will become unsufficient for you and it will take too long. |
Lesser Ward | Novice | Increasing the armor rating by 40 points and cancelling up to 40 points of received magic damage. A very important thing you should know about this spell is that it's sustained. This means you can't use it for too long, because it quickly drains all the mana you have. |
Fast Healing | Apprentice | Regenerating 50 health points. This is a much better spell than Healing, however you should still focus on unlocking better spells from this category. |
Healing Hands | Apprentice | Regenerating 10 points of the target's health per second. This spell should be used on your allies for obvious reasons. I recommend unlocking a better version of it so that you can heal an entire team with one action. |
Steadfast Ward | Apprentice | Increasing the armor rating by 60 points and cancelling up to 60 points of received magic damage. A very important thing you should know about this spell is that it's sustained. This means you can't use it for too long, because it quickly drains all the mana you have. |
Turn Lesser Undead | Apprentice | Forcing the undead on level 6 or lower to flee for 30 seconds. This spell works on only one targeted creature. |
Close Wounds | Adept | Regenerating 100 health points. This is a much better spell than two previous ones from this group, however if you want to effectivelly heal your entire team you should consider using Grand Healing. |
Greater Ward | Adept | Increasing the armor rating by 80 points and cancelling up to 80 points of received magic damage. A very important thing you should know about this spell is that it's sustained. This means you can't use it for too long, because it quickly drains all the mana you have. |
Heal Other | Adept | Regenerating 75 points of the target's health. This spell should be used on your allies for obvious reasons. I recommend unlocking a better version of it so that you can heal an entire team with one action. |
Repel Lesser Undead | Adept | Forcing all undead on level 8 or lower to flee for 30 seconds. This spell can work on only one targeted creature or on an entire group occupying a small area. |
Turn Undead | Forcing the undead on level 13 or lower to flee for 30 seconds. This spell works on only one targeted creature. | |
Circle of Protection | Expert | Creating a magical circle that forces all the undead standing inside it to flee. This spell may come in handy during the fights with the undead, however you should know that it only works for the monsters on level 20 or lower. |
Turn Greater Undead | Expert | Forcing the undead on level 21 or lower to flee for 30 seconds. This spell works on only one targeted creature. |
Repel Undead | Expert | Forcing all undead on level 16 or lower to flee for 30 seconds. This spell can work on only one targeted creature or on an entire group occupying a small area. |
Grand Healing | Expert | Regenerating 200 health points of the main character and all other living beings in the immediate area. This is an extremely helpful healing spell, HOWEVER you must use it carefully. The main reason is because the spell heals everyone around you, so if you allow enemies to get closer they may also be healed. As a result it's good to use this spell after each battle and not when the fights are still taking place. |
Bane of the Undead | Master | Setting the undead (level 45 or lower) on fire and forcing them to flee for 30 seconds. The only way to unlock this spell is to complete Ritual restoration spell College of Winterhold quest (it's a reward received from Augur of Dunlain). The spell itself is very good, especially since most of the undead have a reduced resistance to fire so they can receive a lot of damage. |
Guardian Circle | Master | Creating a magical circle that forces all the undead (level 35 or lower) standing inside it to flee and that allows the main character to regenerate 20 health points per second (only while staying inside the circle). The only way to unlock this spell is to purchase a spell tome from Colette Marence after completing Ritual restoration spell College of Winterhold quest. The spell itself is very helpful, especially since it does two different things at the same time (repels the undead and provides healing). |
Destruction school
SPELL NAME | SPELL LEVEL | DESCRIPTION AND COMMENTS |

It's worth knowing that it gets stronger along with the main character's hunger (more on that in the Hints chapter of this guide). |

Chain Lightning | Adept | Creating a chain lightning that attacks with shock damage, taking away 40 health points and 20 mana points. It's best to use this spell while fighting large groups of enemy units, because the lightning can jump from one target to another one. |
Fireball | Adept | Dealing 60 fire damage (more if the targets are on fire) within a 4,5 meter radius. This is one of many fire spells and you should at least test it to find out if it's something you're looking for. |
Flame Cloak | Adept | Causing all nearby targets to lose 8 health points (the spell itself last 60 seconds). This fire spell works best while fighting enemy units in small rooms, because it's more likely for them to get closer to the main character. |

Incinerate | Expert | Causing an explosion that inflicts 90 fire damage to everyone standing close to the main character. This is a very useful spell, however it has an even more powerful version on the master level (Fire Storm). |
Thunderbolt | Expert | Attacking the target with shock damage that takes away 60 health points and 30 mana points. This is an extremely useful spell, however if you don't have enough mana to use it often you can also consider weaker shock spells. |
Wall of Fire | Expert | Creating a wall of flames that inflicts 50 fire damage per second when touched. I strongly recommend casting this spell in small areas, so that enemies will have hard time finding alternative paths to you and they'll be hitting the wall more frequently. |
Wall of Frost | Expert | Creating a wall of ice that inflicts 50 frost damage per second when touched. I strongly recommend casting this spell in small areas, so that enemies will have hard time finding alternative paths to you and they'll be hitting the wall more frequently. |

This spell is an improved version of Incinerate (expert level) and the only way to unlock it is to complete Ritual destruction spell College of Winterhold quest (it's a reward received from Faralda). I strongly recommend using it on a regular basis, especially while going against opponents with a reduced resistance to fire. The typical amount of damage inflicted by this spell is 150 points, but enemies standing very close to the main character can be harmed even more. Use the spell carefully, because it can also injure your allies if they don't move away. |
Lightning Storm | Master | Attacking the targets with shock damage that takes away 75 health points and 37 mana points per second. The only way to unlock this spell is to purchase a spell tome from Faralda after completing Ritual destruction spell College of Winterhold quest. The spell itself is extremely powerful and you should use it often, however remember to precisely target enemy units for best effects. |
Notes:
The vanilla spells in the Restoration school in Skyrim are rather lackluster for trying an anti-undead paladin/priest sort of build, and while Dawnguard adds some nice Sunfire spells to damage the undead with, a popular request is for the Heal Other spells to also damage undead. This mod is my own take on making the healing spells damage undead as well as some tweaks to the Turn Undead spells.
Features:
-Healing Hands, Heal Other, and Grand Healing now deal damage to undead (this damage is affected by the same perks as healing effects, so the Regeneration perk will increase damage dealt)
-Exp gain has been adjusted so that you gain roughly the normal amount of exp from using it regardless of whether you use it on the living or undead
-Turn Lesser Undead, Turn Undead and Turn Greater Undead have a small chance to instantly disintegrate undead
-Repel Lesser Undead and Repel Undead have a chance to ragdoll undead
-all of the Turn/Repel Undead spells will now increase in magnitude (level of enemy affected) when Dual Cast
-all of the Turn/Repel Undead spells cost slightly more, but will give large amounts of exp whenever their chance effects trigger
Installation:
Drag and drop into your Data folder or mod manager of choice, it can go anywhere in your load order.
This mod does not need cleaning.
Requirements:
Classic Skyrim updated to the latest version. No DLCs required.
Compatibility:
This mod modifies the spells Healing Hands, Heal Other, Grand Healing, Turn Lesser Undead, Turn Undead, Turn Greater Undead, Repel Lesser Undead, Repel Undead, their respective Scrolls and Staves, and their Magic Effects. Anything that modifies those will not be compatible.
Permissions:
This mod took me a while in the Creation Kit. If you are going to edit or re-upload it please give me credit and a link to this page.
If anyone wants to port it to SSE, please do so while linking back to the original mod.

The following are methods to help you level up your Restorationskill quickly. In short, you can level restoration by repeatedly taking damage from the environment (e.g., traps) and then healing yourself.
Restoration can be leveled in tandem with other skills. For example, anytime the player can attack an NPC without fear of reprisal, the player can level restoration along with a weapon skill by repeatedly attacking and then healing the NPC. Restoration can also be leveled along with Alteration once the Equilibrium[1]spell is obtained. Be aware that restoration seems to level very slowly relative to other skills.
Leveling Restoration
[edit]
METHOD 1[edit]
Use the spell Equilibrium to damage yourself in one hand and have a healingspell in the other hand. Not only do you take damage, but you gain your mana back more quickly.
MEthod 2
[edit]
In order to easily upgrade your Restorationskill, visit the Greybeards at High Hrothgar. (You'll head there during The Way Of The Voice quest.) In the courtyard, there is a location you cannot access because of strong wind. Have you character stand in the wind to start receiving damage. Heal yourself while standing in it (notice you will not gain or lose health). It is best to do this with a robe to help speed recovery.
method 3
[edit]
Go to Shriekwind Bastion and go through the entire cave, at the end of which you will face the Vampire Thrall. After killing him, look for an activation chain on the side of the door entering his room. Activate the lever and fire should spurt out of a pipe from the ground. Stand on this pipe and heal yourself while you are burning. You should be able to do this as long as you want.
method 4
[edit]
Find a forge and stand in the center of it. Now jump 5 or more times, then heal yourself. This is a safe and easy way to do this because the forge only hurts you when you first touch it. So if you walk up and stand on it, it will hit you once only. By jumping you get hit once for every time you land.
You can also opt to put the Flamesspell in the second hand. And that will also level your Destructionskill as well. It's a slow process but you kill two birds with one stone.
method 5
[edit]
There is a place called Halted Stream Camp located between Loreius Farm, Silent Moons camp, and Whitewatch Tower. Clean out the baddies inside and take the path near the dead mammoth which will take you to a pit full of spikes. Walk near the spikes to take significant damage then cast Healing to restore your health.
Comments
Magic is a huge part of the Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, whether you practice it or not. You’ll regularly encounter enemies who can wield powerful spells in an attempt to kill you. Of course the Dragonborn does not concern himself (or herself) with apprentice mages but it shows the variety magic available. One of the many spell sets is Destruction, a collection of spells you can use to deal heavy damage to your enemies. These spells come in all shapes and sizes but not all of them are worth using. To help you figure out which spells you should be using, here’s the top 10 best destruction spells in Skyrim!
10. Icy Spear
One of the most known spells, Icy Spear fires an icy projectile towards the targeted location. It deals decent damage to both Health and Stamina, making it a good spell to use in combat. It can be fairly difficult to land though, especially on small or fast moving targets. This is largely why Icy Spear only manages to get to 10th place on the list, plus the fact it’s an Expert level skill so it can be a challenge to unlock it!
Obtaining Icy Spear is actually quite easy though, it’s just getting to level 75 in Destruction that can be painful. You find this spell as a skill book in chests, or by visiting Faralda at the College of Winterhold.
9. Flame Cloak
Absolutely perfect for battle mages or even melee fighters, Flame Cloak surrounds your Dragonborn with a powerful aura which burns nearby enemies for low damage. It doesn’t seem like much but the spell last a good minute and over the course of a fight, it can deal serious damage. If the target is already on fire, they’ll take even more damage. It’s only an Adept (level 50) skill too, so you’ll be able to use it quite early on. It’s similar to Icy Spear in the way that it can be obtained via chests or by Faralda.
8. Ignite
Combine Ignite with Flame Cloak to melt opponents and boost your destruction level considerably. This spell shoots a projectile bolt of flame at an enemy, setting them on fire for low damage. The spell lasts a good length of time though, so you can use other spells to amplify damage or simply run away as they burn to death. As an Apprentice (level 25), you’ll be using Ignite from a low level, it’ll likely be your main source of damage for a good while.
7. Frost Rune
Another Apprentice level spell, Frost Runecreates a trap on the ground that explodes when an enemy comes nearby, just like Lightning & Ash runes. The reason this makes the list over those two is the fact that it slows enemies it affects, making it ideal for kiting or ambushing. As expected, this spell is also available from Faralda.
6. Whirlwind Cloak
As hilarious as it is powerful, Whirlind Cloak should be utilised by any destruction mage. Upon cast, it surrounds the Dragonborn with a whirlwind that has a chance of hurling any melee attackers away. Just like Flame Cloak, this also last 60 seconds. This spell is likely best for battle mages as full mages will keep their distance, it’s an Adept level skill that can be obtaining by purchasing the tome from Talvas Fathryon.
5. Chain Lightning
Chain Lightning is an incredible area of effect spell that can take down entire groups of enemies quickly. Upon cost, it shocks the target and then bounces to any nearby enemies. It’s particularly useful for those dungeons that think a horde of skeletons will last longer than 5 seconds against you. It also hits the magicka stat, making it a good choice against groups of spell users. Don’t worry about accuracy, the spell can bounce to targets even if it misses, it can make for some cool moments when shooting around corners.
As an Adept level skill, it’s not even difficult to obtain and it’ll make your adventures much easier!
4. Flames
What? Isn’t Flames a starting spell? Why yes it is, which is precisely why it gets so high on the list. It does low damage but the magicka consumption is also low, so you can keep firing flames at your enemies to boost your destruction skill efficiently. Â Of course you won’t use this spell once your destruction level starts to get respectable but in terms of helpfulness to your destruction progress, it’s one of the best spells in the game!
3. Wall of Storms/Frost/Flames
Any of the wall spells are absolutely incredible, they have to be if they’re an Expert level skill, which requires a rank of 75 in destruction. Casting any of them on the ground will produce a wall which, upon an enemy moving through it, deals heavy damage. Combining this with a skill such as Chain Lightning ill delete large numbers of enemies completely, it’s ludicrous how effective these spells are.
2. Blizzard
Skyrim Best Restoration Spells 2017
Now we get to the most awesome stuff, one of which is the Blizzard spell. After a rather long charge up, the caster summons a huge storm of ice to engulf everything in a large area. Heavy damage is dealt to any who are unlucky enough to be within its radius, movement speed and stamina are also deeply affected. However, it does deal damage to the caster too, so make sure you bail out of the area as soon as you can. As you’ve likely guessed, it does require the caster to be a Master (level 100) of destruction!
1. Fire Storm

Even though it’s a Master level spell, it can be obtained by completing a quest, so you’ll have it in no time. Go get this spell and enjoy committing mass genocide!
