Get Started with Gear Enchanting and Custom Spells
Looking to enhance your magical arsenal in Oblivion Remastered? Whether you’re new or returning, enchanting gear and crafting custom spells is a game-changing feature that can boost your gameplay significantly. In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how to unlock and set up Frostcrag Spire, where to buy essential upgrades, and how to access both the Enchanting and Spell Making altars. This step-by-step breakdown keeps things simple and beginner-friendly, so you can start enhancing your weapons, armor, rings, and more in no time.
Unlocking Frostcrag Spire – First Step Toward Enchanting
Before you can enchant or craft spells in Oblivion Remastered, you’ll need access to Frostcrag Spire, a special mage-centric player home. To get there, travel northeast from Bruma. As you follow the path into the Jerall Mountains, look for a winding trail heading east. Eventually, you’ll come across a modest camp and shortly after, the Frostcrag Spire will appear on your screen.
Once it’s marked on your map, make your way around the structure. On the back side, you’ll find a chest. Open it to retrieve the Frostcrag Spire Key. If the chest is locked and you don't have the key, don’t worry—it’s only an average lock, easily picked if you have a few lockpicks and some basic skill in Security.
Starting the Quest and Visiting the Mystic Emporium
After you enter Frostcrag Spire, a message will pop up, starting a short quest. You’ll be told to read a book inside the tower. This prompts an update telling you what’s next—restore the spire by purchasing all its furnishings. To do that, you’ll have to visit the Mystic Emporium in the Imperial City’s Market District.
There’s a quest marker to guide you. Head to the Emporium and speak with Aurelinwae, the shopkeeper. Make sure to visit during business hours (usually 8 a.m. onward), or wait until the shop opens. Buy everything related to Frostcrag Spire: the Alchemy Lab, Bedroom Set, Magetower Vault, Magetower Library, and two candle boxes. Yes, it’ll cost a few thousand gold, but it fully unlocks your enchanting base.
Returning to Frostcrag Spire – What’s Changed
After making your purchases at the Mystic Emporium, fast travel back to Frostcrag Spire. The inside will look completely different. Now, it features portals that lead to various rooms like your bedroom and vault, along with usable storage chests and fully functional furnishings.
Most importantly, the Altar of Enchanting and the Altar of Spellmaking will now be active. These two workbenches are what you’ll use to create custom spells and enchant your gear. Their placement makes the tower not just your home base, but a practical space for all things magical.
Using the Altar of Spellmaking – Create Your Own Magic
To start crafting spells, interact with the Altar of Spellmaking. You’ll need to already know the base effects of the spells you want to customize. These can be learned by using or purchasing standard spells from mages throughout Cyrodiil.
Once you know a spell effect, you can combine it with different parameters like magnitude, duration, area of effect, and target type. For example, you could create a custom fire spell that deals more damage over time or affects multiple enemies in an area. You’ll also need Magicka and gold, and your skill level in the relevant magic school determines your limitations.
Enchanting Gear – How to Use the Altar of Enchanting
Head over to the Altar of Enchanting to start powering up your weapons, armor, jewelry, and staves. You’ll need three things: a filled soul gem, the item you want to enchant, and the gold cost for the enchantment.
The stronger the soul inside the gem, the more powerful the enchantment. Use larger soul gems for high-tier bonuses. Select an enchantment effect—like fire damage, fortify skills, or resist magic—then apply it to your chosen item. The result is a powerful piece of gear custom-tailored to your playstyle.
Best Enchantments and Tips for Beginners
If you're just getting started, focus on enchantments that enhance your survivability and utility. Here are a few top picks for new players:
-
Fortify Magicka on rings or robes for extended spell casting
-
Resist Frost/Fire/Shock on armor for better defense
-
Absorb Health on weapons for self-healing during combat
-
Chameleon or Invisibility for stealth-based characters
Also, try to save Grand Soul Gems with powerful souls for your most valuable gear. Don't waste them on low-tier items you’ll replace soon.
Making Frostcrag Spire Your Home Base
Frostcrag Spire isn’t just a place to enchant gear and craft spells—it’s a full-featured player home. Use the bedroom to rest and recover, access your vault for long-term storage, and use the alchemy lab for potion-making. The portals make it easy to navigate each section quickly, and the layout is designed for convenience.
Once you’re fully set up, it becomes a highly efficient hub for managing your magical loadout. You won’t need to bounce between towns or Mages Guild halls anymore—everything you need is right here.
Final Setup Checklist for Spell Crafting and Enchanting
Before you dive into crafting your ultimate spells and gear, make sure you’ve done the following:
-
✔️ Discovered Frostcrag Spire and entered the tower
-
✔️ Retrieved or lockpicked the chest for the key
-
✔️ Read the in-game book to start the tower quest
-
✔️ Purchased all upgrades from Mystic Emporium
-
✔️ Returned and confirmed activation of altars
-
✔️ Stocked up on filled soul gems and spell effects
Now you're good to go. Test out a few enchantments, try making a signature spell, and adjust as needed to match your playstyle.
