Magic in Skyrim
Each fantasy game has its own magical system, so this issue cannot be brought to a common denominator. Everywhere magic is the reading of spells, which have a certain effect on the enemy, character, environment, and so on. For this, the character, or magic points, is taken away from the character. As for Skyrim, there are several magic schools, each of which has its own set of spells and its own characteristics. What are these schools? Recovery, Change, Illusion, Destruction, and Witchcraft - Skyrim is incredibly magical. Each school has its own guild, its followers who study specific spells and increase the level of knowledge of these spells in a certain way. Now that you have a general idea of the magic system, it's time to examine in more detail exactly Witchcraft. Skyrim is a game in which Witchcraft can turn out to be a really powerful and scary weapon in the hands of a skilled gamer.
School of Witchcraft
In the game "Skyrim" magic is divided into different directions - one type of spell is designed to inflict damage to the enemy, the other - to restore the character’s health, the third - to call creatures, the fourth - to impose positive or negative effects, and so on. Naturally, different types are represented in different schools, and in some of the schools there may not be certain types of spells - thanks to this, such incredible diversity is created in Skyrim. What exactly is a school of Witchcraft? This is a school that focuses not on taking damage or restoring health, but on summoning helpers in battle, creating etheric weapons, raising the dead so that they fight on your side - in general, a complete variety of far from ordinary spells that help you conquer Skyrim. Magic is far from the easiest subject to study, so you have to be patient.
Directions of the School of Witchcraft
In the game "Skyrim" the spells of each school are divided into several directions, each of which is characterized by certain features. As for the School of Witchcraft, there are four major areas here: Call of arms, Capture of souls, Control of creatures and Resuscitation of corpses. Everything is quite simple and clear already from the names of the directions - in the first case you get the opportunity to create ghostly or ethereal weapons with which you can fight for some time, in the second - to trap the souls of defeated opponents for further use, in the third - to call under the control of creatures from Oblivion, and in the fourth - to raise the defeated people and creatures from the dead and make them fight on your side. If you are interested in the question of how to pump Witchcraft in Skyrim, the answer here is very simple - the skill is pumped when you cast spells and use them in battle. It is worth noting that the effect of using spells not in combat, but in peaceful situations is much smaller, so you won’t be able to get somewhere in a deserted place and call up the ether dagger over and over again, thereby pumping up the Call of Weapon skill . Will have to use a dagger called up in battle. Well, it's time to take a look at the spells in the Skyrim Witchcraft school. They are divided into five groups, each of which can be mastered by a magician at different stages of his development.
Newbie Spells
Of course, you can always use cheat in the game “Skyrim” - witchcraft can be pumped to the maximum in one minute, thereby gaining access to all spells. However, it is much more pleasant to move up independently, and it is worth starting from the first step. At the beginner level, you can summon a sword or dagger for two minutes using the “Summoned Sword” and “Summoned Dagger” spells, respectively. “Zombie Revitalization” will allow you to raise a weak creature from the dead for a moment so that it fights for you. The “Summon Pet” summons a creature that will fight for you for one minute, and the “Summon Free Dremora” gives you the same thing, but only a low-level Dremora appears instead of the pet. However, the School of Witchcraft in Skyrim is not limited to weak spells.
Student Spells
If you have already pumped to the rank of a student, then new, more powerful spells will open to you. The “Summoned Ax” replenishes your arsenal of magic weapons with the ax. The set of creatures that you can summon becomes much wider - now you have the power of fire atrons, a bone man, the shadow of Arnel Gale and even Arvak. Moreover, at this level you can summon a kamikaze fire pet, which will run into the thick of the opponents, where it will explode, setting fire to everyone around. Also now, instead of Reviving Zombies, you can use the Revive Corpse spell, which raises stronger creatures from the dead. Well, of course, the long-awaited “Capture of Souls" spell appears - it can be cast on the enemy with whom you are fighting, and if he dies at your hands within a minute, his soul will be in your Soul Stone, which you must wear with myself.
Adept Spells
At the adept level, you have even more summoning spells - you can summon an ice atronach, a foggy person, a seeker, and ashes. You can also turn the corpse of a strong opponent into a ghost that will fight for you. As for weapons, at this level you will be able to call a magic bow. Well, another interesting spell is the “Exile of the Daedra”, with which you can send the weak Daedra back to Oblivion without a fight.
Expert Spells
The expert sorcerer receives at his disposal four more call spells, and already very strong creatures - Lord Dremor, a fierce man, a thunder atronach and an ash guard. The Terrible Zombie spell raises very powerful opponents from the dead. In addition, you get more control over the daedra - now you can send even strong daedra back to Oblivion, and you can lure the weak daedra to your side.
Master spells
The master is the highest level of the School of Witchcraft, and its achievement gives you access to the four strongest spells. Three of them allow you to summon three different atronachs, fiery, icy and thunderous, for an unlimited amount of time, the fourth allows you to resurrect any creature, and also for an unlimited amount of time.
