Daggerfall:Mysticism

The school of Mysticism is one of the six avenues of magical study. This school experiments with the most arcane aspects of magicka and expanding these "accidents" into a useful if eclectic range of spells. Because the forces being manipulated by Mysticism are dangerous and unknown, the spell effects are purposefully specific. This is evident in spells like Far Silence and Soul Trap. Buying, creating, and casting spells of mysticism are less expensive for mages skilled in this path.

This skill is increased at 2x rate.

Mysticism's governing attribute is Willpower. The skill is checked whenever you cast a spell from the Mysticism school of magic.
