Hello and welcome back to Skypothesis! This week we are super excited to share with you all a unique Argonian Wizard build who specializes in blood magic. This build takes advantage of new spells from the Arcane Accessories creation club pack included in the Anniversary Edition, and has probably the most unique gameplay flow we've ever felt in Skyrim.

I'm loving this build so far, I'd love more anniversary edition builds and some fallout 4 builds, also a tip, it's much more easy to level enchanting by crafting staves, myrnwatch has a staff enchanter

To be honest, regular mage robes don't fit all these "super-evil mage" vibes IMO. But overall a great build as usual

@@kbroomall you know I have found this aswell, time was I used to make all builds SUPER OP, be it 100% destruction cost reduction or giving myself like 2000 armour and health and a weapon that does twice as much, but now I have found the merit in good role-playing and character, the satisfying progression in power and over all not being broken, so thanks skypothesis

@matoroowen3349 2 жыл бұрын

Y’all should note that steel blue entoloma, glowing mushroom, and creep cluster make a fortify destruction, restore magicka, and fortify carry weight potion; which is broken for an alchemy destruction character. Also it’s all farmable with hearthfire and looks like an epic alchemist’s garden when you scatter them about your plots

They also sell for a Ton (around 2/3 of the Creep cluster+Mora tapinella+Scaly, which is supposed to be the best for Leveling) which means they also level up alchemy pretty fast.

If you're having trouble harvesting the Creep Cluster, Giant Lichen can be a substitute for it while still getting Fortify Destruction/Restore Magicka.

I remember the Aetherial Pilgrim, but a cool idea would be a pilgrim who isn't a mage. He would be the oblivion class pilgrim who wanders Skyrim to visit the shrines in each hold, bears a mace and thieves guild armor and an amulet of any divine you want. The pilgrim would use alchemy, lockpicking, light armor, speech, one handed, sneak and a little bit of pickpocketing.

I feel like Eye of the Dragon is essentially part of the character's aesthetic, and juxtaposes well with the plain robes. Heck, it kind of juxtaposes with Skyrim in general, temporarily changing the visuals in epic fashion. And having said that, I think it's still distinct enough from the Oblivion Sentinel's Cataclysm. I think the Shroud could alternatively use Windstad Manor as his garden residence (keeping the small version of the house). Laid to Rest could be an extension of his growing competitive nature, partly since there's no option to side with Movarth.

After playing alot of Skyrim every day for the past 2 months testing and experiencing Skyrim anew with your builds i can finally say this is my absolute favourite. I dont have to worry about managing resources or getting killed because I can just leech things. And leveling the crafting skills doesnt feel rushed with this build! And no poisons!! Playing on Nintendo Switch and having to go into the menu and applying poisons midfight after every hit makes fighting feel weird and unnatural. I love hoarding all kinds of power too and this build fits perfectly for that

Im going to rewatch at least 3 times to fully capture the possibilities and roleplaying aspects. The fact that Touch of Death and Equilibrium work so well together...i may actually start using fortify destruction potions for the first time too. They are too overpowered for Unbounded Storms. But for edging out ToD over Equilibrium...perfect.

The red misty atmosphere of the video was suitably creepy for this character. As always, I love the lore, backstory, motivation, and aesthetic. Your choice of a water accessible player home is perfect for an Argonian character. Your perspective of the use of blood magic by a character with three types of blood is a unique approach. The special moves represent the essence of this character nicely. I like how you presented The Shroud of Coldharbour as a counterpoint to The Stylite Storm.

As a Skarlet main in Mortal Kombat 11 i can only agree with you when you said the concept of blood magic is fascinating ! The Shroud of Coldharbour is such a nice character with a very versatile and unique gameplay. So i started a playtrought with him, the only difference is i will use the shrouded robes, the blood spells of Sacrosanct instead of the CC spells and use the specials moves: Unwitting Champion, Blink and Banishement from The Desert Magician video. It seems fiting for me because they are two vampire wizard expert in their schools of magic and their are blinded jealousy and power.
