Project Tamriel:Skyrim/Spellmaker

The ability to make custom spells is important to any player using a magically inclined character. Up to eight effects can be combined into a single, potent spell; and spells can be tweaked to provide maximum effect for minimal cost.

Making Custom SpellsEdit

Custom spells can be made by talking to a merchant with the Spellmaking dialogue option. Most Mages Guild Halls have one such NPC you can buy custom spells from.

On the left side of the Spellmaking window you are presented with a list of all spell effects you have collected so far, which can be used to create the custom spell. Select an effect you wish to add, and a new screen pops up where you can set the range (self, touch or target), minimum and maximum magnitudes, duration, and area of effect. These parameters determine the magicka cost of the spell, the chance of successfully casting the spell, and the gold cost of making it. Once you have finished setting the effect's parameters, you may then add additional effects (up to eight) if you wish. Finally, name the spell and then purchase it.

Spell-makersEdit

These NPCs will allow any character to create what spell they desire, but at a price. For a list of spell-makers on the island of Vvardenfell, see this page.
