Getting Started with Destruction Leveling
If you're diving back into Oblivion Remastered and looking to max out your Destruction skill, you’re in the right place. Destruction magic lets you deal direct damage using spells like Fire, Frost, and Shock. But leveling it up fast can be a grind—unless you know the shortcuts. This guide walks you through a reliable method to boost your Destruction skill quickly and efficiently, without needing to fight enemies nonstop.
How Destruction XP Works in Oblivion
In Oblivion Remastered, gaining experience in Destruction is simple in theory: just land hits using Destruction-based spells. Every time you use a spell that deals damage—like Flare or Shock—you earn XP. But in practice, running around looking for enemies can slow things down, especially when you're trying to grind levels quickly. Fortunately, there's a method that lets you level up without even leaving town or fighting anything.
Using a Custom Spell to Train Fast
The most effective way to level up Destruction quickly is to create a custom spell that targets yourself. Sounds weird? It works. Head to an altar of spellmaking—either in the Arcane University or at the Frostcrag Spire, if you have the Wizard's Tower DLC. There, create a spell that deals low Fire Damage on Self. Keep the magnitude low to avoid draining too much health or magicka. Once the spell is made, just cast it repeatedly. This method gives you XP without needing to hunt down enemies.
Managing Health and Magicka While Training
Since you're hitting yourself with the spell, you’ll lose both health and magicka during the process. Don’t worry—it’s manageable. After casting until you're low on either, just hit the “Wait” button and pass one in-game hour. This restores your stats fully. You can then resume spamming your spell again. There’s no need to use potions or rest at a bed, making the whole process efficient and quick.
Best Locations to Create and Train Spells
If you're just starting out and haven’t unlocked the Arcane University, focus on progressing through the Mages Guild quests to gain access. Otherwise, the Wizard’s Tower DLC gives you immediate access to a spellmaking altar at Frostcrag Spire. This location is east of Bruma and easy to reach. Once you've got a safe training space and your custom spell ready, you can loop the process as long as you need to reach level 100 Destruction.
Optimizing Your Custom Spell for Speed
To make your training more efficient, experiment with different spell magnitudes. You want a version that deals just enough damage to register XP but doesn’t drain your magicka pool too fast. A fire damage spell of 3 to 5 points for 1 second on self is usually ideal. Avoid using higher magnitudes early on—they consume more magicka and increase downtime. Rename your spells (e.g., “Destruct Spam 1”) so they’re easy to find in your magic menu.
Leveling Rates and What to Expect
Destruction XP gains are consistent, but the grind becomes slower at higher levels. Around level 50, you’ll notice it takes more casts to gain the same progress. Stick with it. This method is still significantly faster than traditional combat-based leveling. With good magicka regeneration gear or enchanted items, you can reduce waiting time and keep casting longer. Some players even reach level 100 in under two hours using this method with efficiency gear.
Additional Tips to Speed Things Up
To boost your results, consider investing in gear that reduces spell cost or increases magicka regeneration. Items enchanted with Fortify Magicka or Fortify Destruction can make a big difference. Also, if you have the Atronach birthsign, watch your magicka carefully, as it doesn’t regenerate naturally—you’ll need to rely on potions or absorbing spells. For convenience, hotkey your custom spell so you can quickly resume casting after resting.
When to Upgrade Your Spells
Once your Destruction skill hits higher tiers (Apprentice, Journeyman, etc.), unlock new, more powerful spells for real combat scenarios. Vendors in the Mages Guild offer a wide range based on your current skill level. By the time you hit level 100, you'll have access to the strongest Destruction spells in the game—ideal for dealing massive elemental damage and dominating any fight in Oblivion Remastered.
Wrapping Up Your Destruction Training Journey
Leveling Destruction in Oblivion Remastered doesn’t have to be a grind. By crafting a simple damage-on-self spell and using it strategically, you can hit level 100 much faster than through regular combat. Just find a spellmaking altar, optimize your spell for efficiency, and repeat the process with a wait timer to restore health and magicka.
This method works for all skill levels and fits perfectly into a casual or hardcore playthrough. Whether you're prepping for high-level enemies or just want access to powerful elemental magic, hitting Destruction 100 using this method is a smart move. Now go melt some enemies with your new power.
