Tip for anybody trying to grind Destruction magic: I did it by having an NPC heal in one hand and a low-level Destruction spell in the other. And then having basically infinite magicka like Spiff here. Used on an NPC that was stuck in a river trying to get out of it. Constantly healing and hurting them so they never die. No, I don't think that basically amounts to horrendous torture than violates the Geneva Convention, why do you ask?
Technically the Geneva Convention only applies during wartime. Ergo, so long as you weren't both soldiers on different sides of the Imperial/Stormcloak divide, it wasn't a warcrime.

I am playing another playthrough of Skyrim where I'm clad head to toe in Daedric armour, Shadowmere has Daedric barding, and yet, still random NPCs try and mug me.
In my save i married that dark elf destruction master, since my character was also a female dark elf. Then when she'd be following she'd get hit and inevitably i'd get kicked out of my own college. B-)
That thief has the biggest brass balls in history, seeing a flock of 10 elder dragons, and saying to himself "Ah, yes, a perfect spot for some mugging!"
You see, those drunk guys are a random encounter that will either result into: 1) You getting some mead because you did not have any 2) Them getting a little bit offended because you gave them the Black-Briar Mead 3) Them giving you a special amulet that improves your carry weight because you gave them some good mead So yes, you killed probably the 3 most harmless NPCs in the game that are overall nice to you.
@@bonefetcherbrimley7740 to be honest, I got kinda sad that he killed those three guys because they are overall just nice people having some jolly time in this cruel land of Skyrim.
imagine being the thief outside of whiterun, watching a dude take on 10 dragons single handedly while shooting massive lightening bolts and thinking "i'm gonna rob that guy!"
I remember back in my ps3 days, accidentally found a set of clothing that let me have infinite magicka, and I immediately used the lightning storm and it never stopped casting, actually felt like i reached my full potential as the arch mage
@@Whaddif_ Huh. I don't think I've ever seen that many pieces of fortify destruction gear in one place unless they were player-made. I'm pretty sure only the armor, helmet/circlet, amulet, and ring can normally accept that enchantment. Well, I guess some gauntlets do appear with fortify destruction so the player can probably make those too, but apparently pre-built gauntlets don't go over 17%. Nightingale gloves btw don't affect spellcasting, they increase one-handed damage and lockpicking (the hood enhances illusion). And the archmage robes are only 15%, so you must have found a helmet or circlet and necklace of 25% each and a ring worth 20%. I'm pretty sure I crafted my first five-finger discount magic set. IIRC in the base game you can get 25% to each item at max level with full perks and no potions. Of course, the easy solution to get free spells is use the fortify restoration loop to get at least 7x stronger enchantments and then equip the archmage robes (7 x 15 = 105% cheaper everything). Or 20x stronger enchants for the diadem of the savant, which you can grab at game start near Froki's Shack. But considering you can get thousands of armor rating off a hide bracer by resto looping smithing gear, if you use the resto loop you might as well wear clothes cosmetically and not worry about actual armor.
@@Nurk0m0rath yeah, when i say i “found a set” i mean i found out the set of clothing i was wearing allowed for me to infinite cast, not that i found them all together in one spot. my bad on that wording
Fun fact: Ethereal Form makes you completely invulnerable as long as it's active, letting you do stuff that would otherwise kill you like hero-landing from orbit, chugging literal death or even pissing off Sheogorath.
Your point at the end is a good one, I loved the way you could combine spells etc in Oblivion to make your own custom laser of death type builds, I didn't even have to exploit anything and I could still become god-like (maybe not as powerful as Reanu Keeves, but in Oblivion nothing topped me)
The best way do do this is to do restoration and destruction together. Find an npc alone. Use a strong heal other continuous spell on them and the weakest flame spell on them at the same time. Your heal will keep them from dying, and increase restoration and the flame spell will continuously increase destruction. One npc, one process.
Another great romp with Reanu Keeves, Spiff! A tip to anyone who wishes to emulate this build... At alchemy 100 one becomes eligible to elect the Purity perk. With Purity one may use all that poisonous Nightshade and Ectoplasm with the glowing fungus with ZERO ill affects. Huzzah! Adventure on friends, Phat
@@pozatat I think what was meant is that some of the spells don't do magic-based damage. Bound Bow, Sword, and Battleaxe all just conjure up a Daedra in the form of said weapon and do physical damage equivalent to the respective Daedric weapons scaled off your archery, one-handed, and two-handed skills respectively rather than your Conjuration skill. This, technically, makes those spells martial based rather than magic based as their effectiveness has nothing to do with how good of a mage you are but how good of warrior you are.
Spiff, I would point out that there's an easier way to do this challenge. Once you get to the Fortify Destruction potions section, just grab the Flame Cloak spell from Faralda (or from a location on the coast between Dawnstar and Winterhold), and use a potion whenever you cast the cloak, as it increases the radius of your damage proportionately to the damage potency, meaning you don't even have to aim. Anything hostile to you that enters that radius will die, because it unwittingly walked into a natural disaster from a kilometer away, and it is glorious.
He could also use conjuration to summon things to kill (not that fast but consistent), or use his mass resurrection exploit to get infinite targets to kill repeatedly.
@@imadecoy. Actually not quite so, at least for Atronachs. If he's operating on the 100% magic absorption build, for whatever reason, you absorb your own Atronach spells, meaning you can only do Necromancy and Bound weapons while that immunity is in place. But my point was that the Flame Cloak Spell is amazingly efficient for it because you can kill enemies before you see them with the Flame Cloak, no aiming required, while allies remain unharmed.
@@maniac7770 Ah yes, forgot about that issue. I think the main problem with the flame cloak is just that you need to find a good supply of enemies, which could take a while if you don't have a lot of locations discovered for fast travel. Shouldn't be an issue if you've got some big bandit/forsworn camps.
@@imadecoy. And that's where it particularly shines. You can all but clean out a dungeon well before you've reached the end just because the cloaks don't care whether an enemy is behind a wall, but if they're in its radius.
How would anyone find this out? Flame cloak is ass! who thought to even bother using it?! At least now you can get a proper master level blizzard spell via frost cloak
In theroy given you are already doing 1.3 million damage per second with the lighting storm master destruction spell via the fortify destruction potion, you may as well just use a novice sparks lightning spell, with zero magic cost, and duel cast it while you will do less damage you will still do more than enough to one shot every enemy in the game without needing a charge time
Here's a fun exploit for infinite levels using magic: Get your alteration spells to zero cost Get the Telekinesis spell Pick up an item, and then fast travel to the other side of the map while holding it It counts the ingame time needed to travel, and gives you alteration experience from holding telekinesis for that amount of time It will take you from 1 to 100 alteration, give you several levels, and then you can reset alteration to start again It does also work if you wait instead of fast travel, but fast travel is quicker
Get the soul trap spell from any court wizard and repeatedly cast it on a dead body, it goes faster if it costs nothing but you can also wait to get your magic back. Easy level 100 conjuration
What the hell really,you can do that.Well now i know the hundreds of hours i spent soul tapping dead wolfs and muffling myself where a complete waste of time
The one drawback of this is if you're a vampire. I've had multiple instances where I've needed to feed on some poor guard in the city I pulled up to with mysteriously raised, orange-glowing hands.
The Spiffing Brit: Makes armor that let's him cast Destruction and restoration 93,000,% less. Me: Laughs in Diadem of the savant with restoration alchemy loop.
@@howardsturgis7673 Well it is if you don't remove the item, even when the potion lasts 60sec the glitch lasts forever until you unequip the item. It just works
If you ever want enemies that always seem to have infinite health: the leaders of stormcloak/imperial camps throughout Skyrim never seem to die if you’ve taken up with the opposite side and they always aggro against you. They have low health but that’s where alchemy + healing hands comes into play. It’s a great way to level up skills you’ve not invested in when you already a minor deity.
tbh it's not just if you take up with the opposite side - i like doing werewolf or vamp runs where i basically raid all the army camps for snacks, and usually there's one guy that won't fucking die in each one.
gives potion to alduin alduin: whats this? me: o its antiburn alduin: im a dragon i cannot be bu- gets hit by a flaming stream of death. skyrim was always fucking weird i tell ya. swing a massive axe it deals no damage. stick a fork in a dude and he instantly dies and gets his soul stolen to boot.
@@miciso666 I defeated Alduin on legendary first play through with only the fireball spell. There was a glitch where if you stand at a certain position by his wing he can’t see you or something. I took 0 damage and was very disappointed in how easy it was.
Fun Fact: Dragon's have a "mana" bar that determines their ability to use their brearh attack. If you drain their magika (as with lightning spells or the staff of magnus) you will remove the breath attack as an option for them.
Any thief that watches me conjure ten elder dragons from thin-air, then, boil them out of existence with lightning that still has the crumpets to try to rob me...well, they can just have my 200gc. I ain’t even mad.
I love how todd howard is praised as somehow creating the entirety of every bethesda game, coding and graphics and all. Just a one mad game creating army

Side effects may include nausea and/or vomiting, trouble breathing, sudden death syndrome, dilated or constricted pupils. Talk to your healer before taking Potion of Fortify Destruction.
Just like WoW is the end of the Warcraft franchise, ESO is the end of Elder Scrolls. ES6 isn't happening unless they figure out how to make it as battle royale with microtransactions.
If they have any common sense they wont rush it and make it amazing to restore their reputation but everything I just said Bethesda has 0 chance in doing lmaooo
I absolutely love the idea that the Thieves of Skyrim are just so Jaeded with their bad luck that 10 Elder Dragons popping into existence right above them doesn't change their view its like 'yeah this might as well happen' and then run in and demand payment while the literal God is tanking fire breath without a blink and then get the gold and run for his life.
There is also a strange exploit when you do a quest in the College, the one where you cleanse the magic wells with special gloves. After starting the quest you will receive a buff that increases magic regen so much, you'll never run out, ever. The buff lasts 4 IRL hours
TaikaJamppa at least you’ll still have a challenge in the late game. I just think having unlimited power gets boring really fast. I like being more powerful than most enemies, but not all. Not to the point where there is a guaranteed 100% success rate whenever you run into 6 legendary dragons on legendary difficulty lol. That’s just stupid
You can still minorly cheese it by quaffing a lot of lesser potions in the right order and make weapons that only deal tens of thousands of points of damage as well as enchant armor in the thousands of % boosts. Not quite as overkill god like, but still nigh unstoppable. I have a set of Stahlrim light armor that is basically Deathbrand as well as having 200% magic absorb, 15000% health, magicka, and stamina regen, +25000 points to each, and +6000% one handed damage. And I never used the Fortify Restoration loop exploit.
Kinda surprised spiff didn't put the Fortify Destruction enchant on a ring so Reanu could keep the Yorkshire Tea Gold (Legendary) equipped and be immortal AND have infinite magicka. Couldn't have the Restoration boost on it at the same time, but then again, when you have 2 billion HP I doubt that is a problem.
There is actually an exploit with giants when they take damage and kneel, if you heal them with a spell, they get stuck in the kneeling animation. This lets you heal and damage to easily level up. With 0 cost destruction and restoration spells, you can do both at the same time.
I've made many runs using magic only in the vanilla game without exploits, it's pretty simple Basically use conjuration to create meat shields to protect you and destruction to blow everyone off, no need to exploits the unique thing that botthered me was the fact that you can't craft cloth equipments :l
The one upside though is that if you improved your crafting and enchanting, you could be wearing some Epic Daedric armor that is enchanted to give you a limitless supply of magicka. Add the Dragon Aspect shout and you're an unstoppable god.
If you're talking about clothes, yeah you can't sew in the game. Clothes can only be looted from corpses or bought from stores. They're not that expensive tho, the most valuable one's won't exceed 100 coins
@-Vyorus- i honestly hope spiff sees these comments and makes us into characters or maybe someone makes a mod where Reanu Keeves fights us to the death, to finally see who is the strongest of them all! :D
@-Vyorus- yes. indeed it would be. so let's give the so called allmighty Reanu Keeves a reason to come forth and take on our challange. he shall know soon enough how much of a challange we will give him. he will know that he just bitt off more than he could chew. but only time will tell. and time is forever flowing forwards.
TSB: "Great, I came all the way down here for a bunch of mammoth cheese." Sheogorath: "Great, I came all the way down here for a bunch of mammoth cheese."
3:14 I don't know Spiff, I couldn't tell what it would be with the thumbnail being Emperor Palpatine, your reference to UNLIMITED POWER in the pinned comment, or the PREVIEW THAT SHOWS YOUR CHARACTER CASTING PERFECTLY BALANCED LIGHTNING. I think I'll pick A.
I discovered a similar exploit without the enchantment and alchemy. Using the secret of sorcery power from the filament and filgree black book in the dragonborn dlc, you can activate powers with no cost for 30 seconds. However, with spells that cost magica per second, you may use them as long as you’re casting the spell. This works through loading screens and fast travel. Please go try it out sometime it’s a lot of fun and requires little to no effort
honestly it's still way quicker to just level up and raise it 5 levels with a trainer - there's just no quick leveling it at all really, even under optimal conditions like free magicka use, flames spell, and shadowmere (who can totally die) hell you could use the whole enchanting + alchemy upgrade process, where you're gonna gain a lot of levels, to do it early on i used to actually use destruction to kill people, conjuration to revive them, and destruction to kill them again
Classic Skyrim logic: Spiff: I can one shot these Elder dragons, take no magic damage and literally am the most powerful wizard in all of SKYRIM Thief: YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE!!!
One of the best ways to level Destruction without searching out caves and dungeons to fight in is by conjuring a servant to beat up on. Conjure the cheapest servant you can, then proceed to yeet them with Destruction spells until they die. Seriously, I am waiting for Bethesda for giving you an official 'thank you Spiff!'
Can I just say that however late I am to this video I have a renewed burning passion to replay Skyrim with a new build, a new build, a reanu reeves mage build and actually do alchemy properly, I play on Xbox and will try my best to be the best base game mage because of you.

I remember back in my ps3 days, accidentally found a set of clothing that let me have infinite magicka, and I immediately used the lightning storm and it never stopped casting, actually felt like i reached my full potential as the arch mage
Was that normal gear or did you stumble onto a debug gear? I remember there being a debug weapon that could be found in Fallout 3.
Or as a sith
@@TheGary108 to my knowledge it was regular gear, arch mage robes + dragon priest mask, along with nightingale hands i think and a couple others
@@Whaddif_ Huh. I don't think I've ever seen that many pieces of fortify destruction gear in one place unless they were player-made. I'm pretty sure only the armor, helmet/circlet, amulet, and ring can normally accept that enchantment. Well, I guess some gauntlets do appear with fortify destruction so the player can probably make those too, but apparently pre-built gauntlets don't go over 17%. Nightingale gloves btw don't affect spellcasting, they increase one-handed damage and lockpicking (the hood enhances illusion). And the archmage robes are only 15%, so you must have found a helmet or circlet and necklace of 25% each and a ring worth 20%. I'm pretty sure I crafted my first five-finger discount magic set. IIRC in the base game you can get 25% to each item at max level with full perks and no potions.
Of course, the easy solution to get free spells is use the fortify restoration loop to get at least 7x stronger enchantments and then equip the archmage robes (7 x 15 = 105% cheaper everything). Or 20x stronger enchants for the diadem of the savant, which you can grab at game start near Froki's Shack. But considering you can get thousands of armor rating off a hide bracer by resto looping smithing gear, if you use the resto loop you might as well wear clothes cosmetically and not worry about actual armor.
@@Nurk0m0rath yeah, when i say i “found a set” i mean i found out the set of clothing i was wearing allowed for me to infinite cast, not that i found them all together in one spot. my bad on that wording

Restoration is objectvly the best because......HEALS
Also you can win Skyrim using only restoration spells.
The best way do do this is to do restoration and destruction together. Find an npc alone. Use a strong heal other continuous spell on them and the weakest flame spell on them at the same time. Your heal will keep them from dying, and increase restoration and the flame spell will continuously increase destruction. One npc, one process.

"Almost all of it's spells are magic based" - Spiff 2020
because the bow swords and stuff weirdly counts as MELEE damage.
so he is kinda right.
@@miciso666 ah yes, my favorite melee weapon, the bow
Spriggan Earth Mothers use tonal manipulation confirmed
Hm, yes, the floor here is made out of floor
@@pozatat I think what was meant is that some of the spells don't do magic-based damage. Bound Bow, Sword, and Battleaxe all just conjure up a Daedra in the form of said weapon and do physical damage equivalent to the respective Daedric weapons scaled off your archery, one-handed, and two-handed skills respectively rather than your Conjuration skill. This, technically, makes those spells martial based rather than magic based as their effectiveness has nothing to do with how good of a mage you are but how good of warrior you are.
Spiff, I would point out that there's an easier way to do this challenge. Once you get to the Fortify Destruction potions section, just grab the Flame Cloak spell from Faralda (or from a location on the coast between Dawnstar and Winterhold), and use a potion whenever you cast the cloak, as it increases the radius of your damage proportionately to the damage potency, meaning you don't even have to aim. Anything hostile to you that enters that radius will die, because it unwittingly walked into a natural disaster from a kilometer away, and it is glorious.
He could also use conjuration to summon things to kill (not that fast but consistent), or use his mass resurrection exploit to get infinite targets to kill repeatedly.
@@imadecoy. Actually not quite so, at least for Atronachs. If he's operating on the 100% magic absorption build, for whatever reason, you absorb your own Atronach spells, meaning you can only do Necromancy and Bound weapons while that immunity is in place. But my point was that the Flame Cloak Spell is amazingly efficient for it because you can kill enemies before you see them with the Flame Cloak, no aiming required, while allies remain unharmed.
@@maniac7770 Ah yes, forgot about that issue. I think the main problem with the flame cloak is just that you need to find a good supply of enemies, which could take a while if you don't have a lot of locations discovered for fast travel. Shouldn't be an issue if you've got some big bandit/forsworn camps.
@@imadecoy. And that's where it particularly shines. You can all but clean out a dungeon well before you've reached the end just because the cloaks don't care whether an enemy is behind a wall, but if they're in its radius.
How would anyone find this out? Flame cloak is ass! who thought to even bother using it?! At least now you can get a proper master level blizzard spell via frost cloak
In theroy given you are already doing 1.3 million damage per second with the lighting storm master destruction spell via the fortify destruction potion, you may as well just use a novice sparks lightning spell, with zero magic cost, and duel cast it while you will do less damage you will still do more than enough to one shot every enemy in the game without needing a charge time
or chain lightning for groups
@@AFlyingSwive Yep
Yes but its not the most powerfull
Here's a fun exploit for infinite levels using magic:
Get your alteration spells to zero cost
Get the Telekinesis spell
Pick up an item, and then fast travel to the other side of the map while holding it
It counts the ingame time needed to travel, and gives you alteration experience from holding telekinesis for that amount of time
It will take you from 1 to 100 alteration, give you several levels, and then you can reset alteration to start again
It does also work if you wait instead of fast travel, but fast travel is quicker
I had no idea that worked - I always just rushed to solthseim to grab ash shell, spammed that until paralysis became available.
Get the soul trap spell from any court wizard and repeatedly cast it on a dead body, it goes faster if it costs nothing but you can also wait to get your magic back. Easy level 100 conjuration
Go in console add experience

If you ever want enemies that always seem to have infinite health: the leaders of stormcloak/imperial camps throughout Skyrim never seem to die if you’ve taken up with the opposite side and they always aggro against you.

There is actually an exploit with giants when they take damage and kneel, if you heal them with a spell, they get stuck in the kneeling animation. This lets you heal and damage to easily level up. With 0 cost destruction and restoration spells, you can do both at the same time.
I've made many runs using magic only in the vanilla game without exploits, it's pretty simple
Basically use conjuration to create meat shields to protect you and destruction to blow everyone off, no need to exploits
the unique thing that botthered me was the fact that you can't craft cloth equipments :l
Yeah, Vanilla is lacking sometimes when it comes to crafting. I miss having custom spells like we did in Oblivion.
The one upside though is that if you improved your crafting and enchanting, you could be wearing some Epic Daedric armor that is enchanted to give you a limitless supply of magicka. Add the Dragon Aspect shout and you're an unstoppable god.
If you're talking about clothes, yeah you can't sew in the game. Clothes can only be looted from corpses or bought from stores. They're not that expensive tho, the most valuable one's won't exceed 100 coins
the problem is your magic doesn't scale but enemies do. and high magic absorb means no conjuartions.

Using the secret of sorcery power from the filament and filgree black book in the dragonborn dlc, you can activate powers with no cost for 30 seconds. However, with spells that cost magica per second, you may use them as long as you’re casting the spell. This works through loading screens and fast travel.
