This one forces paralysis on any target that it hits whilst also dealing a ton of extra damage for as many seconds as possible (depending on your skills as a spell-crafter). Those times where your opponents are running at full speed towards you can be quite scary.īut here’s a spell that will ease the pressure and make things much easier for you.
Absorb Health x pts for x secs on Target. Shock Damage x pts for x secs on Target. It basically drains their entire speed to force them into ignoring you – even if you’re right in front of them! 14. Drain Speed 100 pts in 20 ft for 2 secs on TargetĪlso known among Oblivion players as a “hide in plain sight” spell, this spell basically forces whoever’s in range of its effect zone to de-target the player.īecause it exploits one of the game’s main mechanics: foes cannot target you if they can’t move. So I’ve rearranged my own list here featuring only top-notch spells that you can make in Oblivion for your magical comfort. It was a pretty massive list, though, and I know that many of you just want the best spells in the game. I have made my fair share of mistakes while trying to create the perfect spell, but I did manage to come across a massive list of useful combinations that have served me quite well in recent years. However, making the right spells is not always as easy as it seems. I would go as far as saying that Oblivion has the best spell-making mechanics in the TES series. Robert_evrae explains that, as an immigrant, you wouldn't travel to a new country and openly admit to them that you're a thief or a murderer, would you? The option to become evil is and has always been available to you, just don't go around telling the proud folk of Imperial City you plan on worshipping Daedra within the first week of your arrival.Oblivion allows you to make some absolutely fantastic custom spells, many of which are far better than any other piece of crappy magic that the game comes with. You'll notice a lack of evil character options, but its exclusion makes sense. Characters include a wealthy merchant, a priest, or even a skilled craftsman.
You're now able to choose from a range of character options most comparable to classic RPGs. No longer will you find yourself acting as a substitute exterminator for Uriel Septim. Fret not! The Alternate Start Arrive By Ship mod from Robert_evrae cuts out the rather laborious chore of an intro in favor of captaining a ship that just so happens to enter the port of either the Imperial City or Anvil.
Oblivion's intro through the Imperial City's rat-infested prison catacombs can be a bit of a slog to get through, especially after repeated playthroughs.
