In the Empire, a law was passed according to which the Mages Guild should teach spells or techniques to anyone who wants it. But in order to get a new spell, the means to produce it or create an item, you must become a member of the Guild. In addition, you need a good reputation, and the character must have open access to the University. Many players do just that — they act, but only to be able to experiment with spells. While you are in good standing, the Guild will turn a blind eye to this.
Most skills and spells can be bought from a merchant, for example, the basics of Mysticism are sold by Friends in Skingrad. If you need the magic of Destruction, go to Bravil - Dolphin Jend will help.
Actions
A character can do damage that lowers something. It can be magic, skills, health. But loss from damage is restored by using favorable effects, for example, a character can receive a blessing in the temple.
In the Oblivion game, spells have the following actions:
- "Absorption". It can lower something, for example, the power reserve either temporarily or gradually.
- "Resistance". Actions to reduce damage, mainly from the elements of fire, cold and lightning.
- "Recovery." When used, you can get a supply of strength or magic, as well as health.
- "Weakening." Damage is caused by magic or weapons that increase this damage. Also effective for poisons, illness, or paralysis.
- "Reflection". If a character takes damage from magic, it reflects back.
- "Illusion". The victim believes that the magician is an ally, and her former associates are enemies.
"Absorption"
In general, “Absorption” is a rather interesting thing, the effect is rare. Your character can not only defend, absorbing an enemy spell and restoring his magic. For example, Bretons have the innate Dragon Skin spell, which gives a 50 percent absorption of spells. Thus, once a day for one minute they can successfully absorb a hostile spell.
There is also a guardian stone called the Sign of Atronach. It will give a 50% spell absorption effect (permanent).
In the Oblivion game, Absorption spells allow you to take the Atronach skill, which will also give a permanent effect of 30%.
It differs from Resistance to Magic in that Absorption blocks (sometimes even completely) damage with a certain percentage. This percentage is equal to how much magic your character absorbs. Thus, 5 units absorbed by the mage equals 5% absorption. In this regard, the absorption of more than 100% is completely useless, since 101% cannot be absorbed. However, the spell does not work if you take damage from drowning, falling, as well as from battle - near or far.
It is mainly used by Bretons, other characters have only 80% effect. A vampire must have several skills open, only then can he achieve one hundred percent effect.
It is worth knowing that invocation and absorption of spells do not work together, since the latter absorbs the former. If such a bug occurs, you can install the patch and fix it.
"Illusion"
You can trick the animal, put a hypnotic look on the enemy , use mind control, for example, the undead, and also frighten the enemy to death.
In the Oblivion game, Illusions are very useful in this area. For example, there is a goal, but you do not know where to go. Then turn on "Clairvoyance" - this will show where the target is for a second.
Or use Invisibility. It is given for about half a minute at the expert level, until the character who uses it collides with an object or is attacked. Or he will attack.
"Hysteria" is activated if the creatures are 25th level or lower - for exactly a minute they begin to run away from you with all their feet.
For friends or allies, you can use the "Call to Arms", while your friends will gain skills for a certain amount of time (10 minutes).
Or you can arrange a uniform Katavasia for your enemies, which is actually called a spell. If creatures are level 25 or lower, cast a spell on them, after which they begin to attack anyone. This can be done by the Master. Just cast a spell on the target and step aside to watch the performance. Do not forget to take popcorn!
Magic schools
There are six schools in total. The first is "Recovery." The second is Change, the third is Illusion, the fourth is Witchcraft, the fifth is Mysticism, and finally the sixth school is Destruction.
In addition to receiving spells through character development, completing quests, etc., there is another tricky way in the Oblivion game - spell codes.
Magic of three types - "Ice", "Lightning" and "Fire". In the picture in the article you can see an example of a battle using two elements.
- "Recovery" basically absorbs any parameter, for example, willpower, health, skills. Also increases speed, headroom and attribute.
- "Change", accordingly, changes the parameters of any goal. For example, there is a delaying touch when the targets begin to move with a noticeable delay. Or "Feather" - it is very good to reduce their load. Thus, it is convenient to drag a lot of things.
- In the Oblivion game, Destruction spells damage health, items, power reserve, lower magic, and cause certain damage.
- "Change" can help open the lock, make a shield, get buoyancy.
- “Illusion” - calms, changes, casts a spell, gives orders to any creature, you can make “Rabies”, “Invisibility” and complete demoralization of the enemy.
- "Witchcraft" is useful in that it is used to invoke weapons and ammunition - boots, or an ax, you can call a creature, scare the undead.
- "Mysticism" - dispels the received magic, helps to capture souls, absorb spells or repel them.
It should be added that there is a spell ID in the Oblivion game. For example, healing from paralysis is ID 0003C3FB at the student level. And the master can heal even the most severe injuries - ID 00083714.
About ID in more detail below.
"Witchcraft"
It is "Shamanism." In the Oblivion game, witchcraft spells help summon an assistant, revive a dead man, call in a weapon, or capture a soul. For example, the skill "Summoner" will allow you to summon the Atronachs, and the Strength of the elements will give them 50% strength.
Necromancy prolongs the reanimation of your undead. The spell will allow someone to be resurrected. The convenience is that this someone will fight for you or work as a shield. It's funny that in the game "Oblivion" the spells "Witchcraft", and specifically the use of "Dead", are not welcomed by the inhabitants of the city. If you go accompanied by zombies, the townspeople will often tell you something like: "This spell is very dangerous."
You can raise the dead or summon the Atronachs, who often decide the battle. The spell level rises when a summoned creature or item (such as a bow) is used in battle. It works if the spell was used before the start of the battle, but does not increase outside the battlefield. And experience is given for the damage done.
Let others fight - Atronachs or zombies. At the beginning of the game, gamers often call on weapons - its advantage is that it weighs nothing. Also used in the game "Oblivion" codes for spells, including and on the call. A bow has a bunch of arrows while you use it. Such weapons are much stronger than most of what can be found at the beginning of the game.
About zombies
The most powerful spell - Dead Thrall - zombies will rise forever. If the zombie dies, you can return it back. Until lightning kills him, the creature can be resurrected at least 800 times. The dead man uses the weapons that you give him, depending on the skills of the zombies fight with swords or bows. To change the equipment of a dead man, kill him again or call another. Then search the body and take the item you want to improve.
But the dead man uses only the ammunition that was on him during his lifetime. Thus, if you give him Daedric Armor, there will be no point in this.
Therefore, the amount of armor that a zombie can choose is limited. There is a tricky way to determine their armor. Can be used to reset your own equipment if you lose, or enchant.
- Go to your house. Your zombie will follow you.
- Kill him.
- Take what you need from the body and revive.
- Get out of the house.
- Zombies will have new things.
You can repeat the process before returning to the house and find out what the zombie has appeared. Renewing ammunition and enchanting it, kill and resurrect zombies by placing a new item in your zombie's inventory. Resurrected, they will walk in this outfit.
Sometimes resurrection depends on your level. If the lvl is below the 30th and you have completed all the Civil War quests on the side of the Empire, then you can kill Ulfric Petrel, who has a special cry. But after the 30th level you can’t do it.
Some unique characters, such as Ulfric and Cicero, can be looted for their unique outfits using the above strategy to restore equipment. This is one simple money maker.
Spell cast
To make an Oblivion game create a spell, you need to get a basic one, so you must be given it at your disposal. Also, until you get a specific effect, you won’t be able to cast any spells or create a spell. To have an effect, you need to learn spells.
To give an example: there is a spell called "Flash", it will be given when you are just starting to create your character. It provides access to the Fireblow.
What is the nuance? The more powerful the spell, the more expensive it is. Therefore, if you need some kind of effect, and you buy spells to gain access to it, it is best to look for the weakest. And there are several types of them, therefore, to get the effect, you can buy a spell that has such a variety. Most often they take with two effects (sometimes several), so the player can create completely new spells.
Example: you want to create an elemental spell designed to defeat an adversary. You can take 2 effects that enhance fire damage. If you keep this at hand, you will not have to change spells in battle. You can also combine the most necessary parameters before the battle. Many players do just that.
The video posted in the article shows a guide to creating spells. Everything is described with specific examples.
Most often, effects have characteristics, usually 3 of them. You can combine them as you wish. The first characteristic is strength, the second is the duration of the spell, well, and the third is the area of ​​its effect.
Some effects have only one such characteristic. Duration is how much a particular effect works temporarily. Area is a certain radius around your opponent. The higher the characteristic, the greater the effect.
But in accordance with the level of your spell, its value increases. For example, for a beginner, the base price is from 0 to 25 gold coins, for a student - from 26 to 62, and for a master 400 and more.
Cost
The cost of spells depends on how advanced your skill is. To determine the value, you can apply the following formula: basic * (1.4-0.012 * spell).
You must reach a skill level in order to be able to use the spell.
Skill level for beginner 0-24, 25-49 - for the student, 50-74 = adept, 75-99 = expert, 100 = master.
The base cost is what you have to pay for the spell. It is always 3 times the cost of the spell (current). But the character’s level and its luck are taken into account.
In fact, you pay depending on how well developed the skill of trading. Therefore, if you have spells for good luck, you can conclude more profitable deals.
The effectiveness of the spell depends on its size, but is actually calculated differently. Therefore, spell levels may not display correctly if your character has armor. Example: level 18 for a slow spell, but the effectiveness is 85%. In fact, 63.75 (75 * 0.85), as a result, the spell only works up to level 15.
Altar
To be able to create spells in the Oblivion game, you need an altar, after which you select an effect from the list, adjust the parameters by moving the slider, then name it (give it some own name). Next, click the "Create" button.
The altar is located only at the University of the Secret Arts, which is laid in the imperial city. There is another altar, but it is in the chambers of the Archmage.
When you hover over the altar, the "Use" button and the altar menu appear.
Next, you see a list of known effects, they appear according to the level of your skills. You can also use the effects that are given at birth (or obtained from a magic stone). If you left-click on an effect, it will appear in the list as added.
When you press the left button on the effect, a drop-down menu appears, there you can select the effect parameter. The range of action shows where it should be directed - at the character, when touched, at any target. After you have determined the parameters, return to the menu and select the effect to include it in the spell.
The cost of mana shows how much it takes to cast the spell. If you need more mana than you have, then you can still create it.
The skill is determined by the minimum level, that is, from this level specific spells can be applied. If your level is lower, and the spell has more, then creating it will not work.
The price of the spell tells you how much money you need to give to create the spell. In the altar menu you can enter the name of the spell.
Weakness is negative resistance. But effective resistance is the sum of the active effects. In the menu, resistance and weakness are indicated separately. Therefore, in the menu "Active Effects" you need to check the resistance and indicators of weakness.
Information about immunity is not always indicated - vampires have 100% disease, however, they can become infected if a weakness for the disease is active.
Another example is ghosts. It would seem that you can’t kill them, but if you use a spell related to frost + weakness, then the ghost can get damaged and even die.
The only 100% immunity is Magic Resistance, as it will reduce the value to 0. There are no ingredients with a similar effect.
Fortunately, enemies immune to magic rarely come across. But those who are can be killed by poison.
How to delete
Let's say that a spell is created or if it was originally built-in, but for some reason you didn’t like it and you want to delete it. But keep in mind - if you created a spell, then you cannot use its name already, because the system remembers them. Basically, in the game "Oblivion" you can remove the spell using the console.
To do this, write for built-in spells: player.removespell (Form ID).
For those created, the path will be slightly different:
- Find the directory of your game - usually it is located in Program Files.
- There is a file called LevelUpData_1.txt.
- It should be opened only with Wordpad, because Otepad will not work.
- You will need a character, find its level, scroll to the right.
- You can see all used spells.
- After the name of the spell is an ID, it should be rewritten and then deleted.
Important! The game uses the Heal Minor Wounds spell as a backup, so it is not recommended to remove it. To rename or delete a spell, the modification is used: Wrye Bash. There is a mod based on OBSE - thanks to it you can remove spells directly during the game. In other cases, only through the console.
Where to find the spell ID
There are two ways.
- First. You will need an editor called Construction Set. Download the Oblivion.esm file into it, after which the Magic tab is needed. Go to spells, that is, Spell, where the Oblivion spell ID is listed in the column. The column can be very small and hidden, expanding with the mouse.
- The second way - ID can be found on special sites dedicated to the game.
Cheats
To get a spell in the Oblivion game, you can use the cheat code. To do this, you need to open access to cheat codes, you must first open the console, the tilde sign will help you in this. Now you can add yourself all the spells. To do this, write the following: PlayerSpellBook.
Important! The code will give you spells (including from mods), but the number of added spells is large, so the game’s performance can greatly decrease when you open the list. Some spells that the team adds will work. The part will not act correctly.
If the goal is to add a spell in the Oblivion game, then you need to type: Player. Addspell FormID.
Actually, this requires a spell ID. Example:
- 0003C3DA adds Ball Lightning.
- 0009812A - The Revival.
You can also use interesting effects. For example, want to become a vampire? Write: Player.addspell 000B8780. After this, 3 days should pass. If vulnerability to fire appears in active effects, then congratulations - now you are a vampire!
In the game Oblivion, cheats for spells are different. For example, player.setav allows you to increase the damage of a skill. However, you should know that the base value must be multiplied by the parameter in percent.
Let's say you want to improve weapons. Base damage it deals 15 units. So, you specify the parameter 200. Thus, 200 is divided by percent - it turns out 2. Next 15 x 2 = 30 + 15, total 45.
After the above, you must write a code for the use of weapons or magic.
- LockpickingPowerMod - will increase your hacking skill.
- DestructionPowerMod - damage from destruction magic.
- EnchantingPowerMod - enchantment.
- Player.setav RestorationPowerMod - recovery.
In the Oblivion game, advskill cheat spells allow you to raise a skill by a certain number of experience points: Enchanting - enchantment, Marksman - shooting, and so on.
Suppose you specify advskill Destruction 500 - this way you raise the destruction skill by 200 experience points.
In addition to the use of cheat codes, there are also mods. To get them, just type the appropriate query in the search bar, and then select one or more spell modes in the Oblivion game.
