How to upgrade spells?

[newjeans PR manager]

I've seen videos where the spells such as "Grand Healing" is available. Is that a mod? If not how do I do it?

[OuchThatHurt]

You can buy new spells but not make new one like you could in older games. Well you can but you gots to mod then ;) Saying that I don't mage much i've mostly been a archer or a berserking nord lol

Grand Healing is just a higher level healing spell. You can't upgrade spells in this game, you just buy better ones. As you increase your magic skills, higher level spells will become available to you from vendors. So, if your Destruction is only Novice level, you won't find anything but the weakest spells. When you reach Adept, Expert, etc. levels you'll find the stronger ones.

Oh, I see. I can't seem to figure out how to level up my spell skills like destruction etc- Like, I know how to in the skill tree but I don't know how to go from Novice to adept, expert, etc

Could you care to elaborate? This is my first Elder Scrolls game, haha. It's quite amazing with a few mods.

Oh to level the skill trees you need to use the spells for destruction you need to kill stuff with spells ;)

I see, I assume you mean just level it up in the skill tree- that's what I'm doing but I only see numbers, not like adept and stuff :P

Unless the numbers is what he meant?

It's cool. It can seem overwhelming. :)

Simply put, though, the way to level your magic is to use it, LOL. If you want to get better at Destruction magic, make fire, frost, or shock your main attack. Restoration is a little harder, but some people use tricks like finding a trap somewhere, equipping their healing spells, and then allowing themselves to take damage while healing over and over again.

Aside from that, you can make use of any magic trainers. Different trainers will train you in different types of magic for money. They can be found all over, but the easiest way to gain access to a bunch of trainers and vendors is to go to the College of Winterhold.

Oh, yeah haha- I'm leveling up those stuff easy. I thought you meant unlocking stuff like adept, expert, stuff like that- not the level haha.

Thanks man. :P

Skill trainers are a big help with some skills ;) there's a mod that lets you train 25 skill levels per character level let me see if i can find it.

The basics are:

Novice = 0
Apprentice = 25
Adept = 50
Expert = 75
Master = 100

So, in other words, you won't really find adept destruction spells until your destruction reaches about 50.

Yes! Skill trainers are great, especially for mages. In the vanilla game you can only train 5 times per level, but there are mods that increase that. Definitely worth it to check them out.

I think this is the closest thing i can find on steam to the one i used to use that was 25 levels per character level i'm sure it was called Skill training overhaul and let master trainers train you to 100 too lol

[ZephyrLuxx]

I have this one, but it's kind of OP. LOL

You can literally train thousands of times per level with it. I always try to keep balance in mind when I'm using it, and I still don't think I've ever trained more than about 10 times in any level. It's nice to have the restrictions lifted, though. :)

I forgot to add if you are using nexus then find a skill trianing mod there rather then steam ;)
