Leveled Spells
O-Shock small.png Finger of the Mountain
Spell : 000C48A2
Level 1 (Novice)
Shock Damage Shock Damage 6 pts in 5 ft on Target
11
  • Due to an oversight, the spell costs significantly more magicka to cast than a comparable custom spell made at a Spellmaking Altar. The highest level of Finger of the Mountain is almost impossible to cast for most characters without significant amounts of Fortify Magicka.
  • The two highest levels of Finger of the Mountain are the two most expensive spells to cast in the entire game. Even with level 100 Destruction skill the strongest version of the spell costs 710 magicka.

Wizard's Fury
Spell : 000C4818
Level 1 (Novice)
Fire Damage Fire Damage 1 pt for 5 secs on Target
Frost Damage Frost Damage 7 pts on Target
Shock Damage Shock Damage 7 pts on Target
14 (33*)
  • Wizard's Fury is significantly cheaper (>50% cheaper) than an equivalent custom spell made at the Spellmaking Altar. The costs in parentheses provide the magicka costs of the comparable custom spell.
  • The two lowest-leveled versions of the spell appear with a Shock icon in the player's inventory and appear as a lightning bolt; all the others show a Fire icon and act as a fire ball. This is due to a spell's appearance being linked to the highest costing effect.

Spell Notes[edit]

  • The cost for most spells matches the value you would calculate from the Spell Cost equation. In other words, if you were to create the same spell at the Spellmaking Altar it would have the same magicka cost as the built-in spell. However, there are a few notable exceptions, as noted in the tables. Spells that are a bad deal, i.e. more expensive than a custom spell, are in red; spells that are a good deal are in green. The magicka cost if you were to create a custom spell at the Spellmaking Altar is shown in parentheses.
  • Cost for spells is dependent upon your skill in the school (as modified by Luck, see Magic Overview). The provided baseline values are the magicka cost when your skill level is 33. For other skill levels the magicka cost can be determined from:
Cost * (1.4 - 0.012 * Skill)
  • Level indicates what skill level you must reach (or surpass) in order to use a spell. Skill Level 0-24 = Novice, 25-49 = Apprentice, 50-74 = Journeyman, 75-99 = Expert, 100 = Master
  • The base cost in gold that you must pay to purchase a spell is always three times the current magicka cost of the spell, taking into account your character's skill level and Luck. (The actual cost you pay is further increased based on how well you haggle with the merchant). Therefore, if you have any Fortify Skill or Fortify Luck spells/potions handy, you can get significantly better deals when purchasing spells.
