Overpowered Spellmaking Techniques for Oblivion Players
Introduction
If you’re diving into Oblivion Remastered on Master Mode and want to crush every enemy in sight, spellmaking is your golden ticket. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about crafting powerful custom spells at the Arcane University — and how you can stack them for crazy amounts of damage. Let’s jump in and turn your mage into a one-man army!
Unlocking the Arcane University and Spellmaking
Before you start creating your own magic, you’ll need access to the Arcane University.
If you’ve been following the main questlines and finished all Mages Guild recommendations, you're good to go.
For extra convenience, you can also use the Frostcrag Spire if you have it. If not, no worries — you can find spellmaking services in the Imperial City.
🔑 Key Tip:
You must own the spell effect and be able to cast it to use it when creating new spells. This means leveling up your magic skills is essential.
Where to Find New Spells
Finding the right spells to work with is crucial:
-
Visit Mages Guilds in every city.
-
Explore churches to find more Restoration spells.
-
Some spells (like Chameleon) require skill levels of 50+ before you can use them in your own creations.
📈 Pro Tip:
If you want access to high-level spells quickly, focus on leveling up skills like Illusion and Restoration early on.
Getting Creative: Combining Spell Effects
Once inside the Praetorian Center at the University, you'll find the Altar of Spellmaking.
Here, you can get creative by mixing different effects into one spell.
Some cool combos to try:
-
Chameleon on Self + Damage Effects: Deal damage while turning invisible.
-
Summon + Fortify Attributes: Summon allies and make yourself stronger.
🎯 Important:
You can add multiple effects but watch the magicka cost — it can skyrocket if you're not careful.
The Power of Spell Stacking
Now, let’s talk about the real secret sauce: Spell Stacking.
Normally, Weakness to Magic spells increase the magic damage an enemy takes.
However, if you create separate spells with slightly different effects, their debuffs will stack, allowing you to multiply your damage output.
📚 Example:
-
Spell 1: Weakness to Magic + Shock Damage
-
Spell 2: Weakness to Shock + Fire Damage
Alternate between these two spells in combat, and the effects keep building up, leading to massive burst damage!
Understanding Spell Costs
When creating custom spells, you’ll notice a cost value.
Here’s what you need to know:
-
Higher base costs = Higher magicka usage.
-
Costs vary depending on your skill level in the related magic school.
🔎 Note:
It’s not a 1-to-1 ratio. Some spells seem cheap at first but can become expensive if you haven’t leveled the corresponding magic school enough.
Fortifying Skills and Attributes: Worth It?
You might think fortifying skills and attributes is broken — it’s not as crazy as you might hope.
Here’s the breakdown:
-
Skills over 100: Mostly useless (e.g., Acrobatics barely changes, Athletics might boost stamina regen).
-
Attributes like Speed: No cap. You can get over 200 speed and zoom across Cyrodiil like a racehorse.
-
Fortify Magicka and Health: Always valuable for any build.
⚡ Pro Tip:
Save skill fortifications for armor enchantments instead of wasting magicka during fights.
Building Long-Lasting Summons
Another great use of spellmaking is extending the duration of your summons.
Custom summoning spells can:
-
Last much longer than the basic versions.
-
Save you magicka and casting time during long fights.
🌟 Example Build:
-
Summon Skeleton Guardian (60 seconds)
-
Fortify Conjuration (optional)
Haggling and Merchant Tricks
Want better prices without grinding Mercantile?
Easy fix: Make a charm spell and fortify Mercantile before talking to shopkeepers.
🛒 Best Setup:
-
Charm 100 on target (3 seconds)
-
Fortify Mercantile 100 on self (3 seconds)
This simple trick can save you tons of gold over the course of the game.
Practical Spell Stacking in Combat
Let’s talk real in-game use.
When you're fighting tough enemies (even in the Arena), spell stacking makes battles a breeze:
-
Hit with a bow enchanted with Weakness to Magic.
-
Cast Spell 1 (Weakness to Shock).
-
Cast Spell 2 (Weakness to Magic and Fire).
Keep alternating, and enemies just melt away — even on Master difficulty.
🚀 Tip:
The more you alternate different weakness spells, the stronger your next attack becomes.
Conclusion
Spellmaking in Oblivion Remastered is where real power lies — especially on Master Mode.
Whether you’re stacking debuffs for crazy damage, creating everlasting summons, or charming merchants for better deals, mastering custom spells can totally transform your gameplay.
Now go out there and craft the most broken spells Cyrodiil has ever seen!
