Magic Skills[edit]

Main Article: Magic
  • Alteration
Alteration is the magic of altering the physical world. It provides many useful effects that can make up for other character weaknesses. In Dawnstar, the use of Alteration is limited to five different spells and the strength of each spell depends on your Alteration skill level. For more information, see the lore article.
  • Conjuration
Conjuration is the magic of summoning creatures from other planes, creating magical weapons and armor, and repelling undead creatures. In Dawnstar, Conjuration is limited to five spells, and can prove extremely helpful along the way, especially at higher levels. For more information, see the lore article.
  • Destruction
Destruction magic provides many means of inflicting damage on enemies and is one of the most effective magic schools for direct damage to an enemy. For more information, see the lore article.
  • Illusion
Illusion spell effects, such as paralyze, blind and fear, alter the perceptions and thoughts of living beings. For more information, see the lore article.
