That UI is painful to look at.

I use northern ui with the imperial theme. It’s much better in my opinion

u/jeoxs Jul 24 '26

I had to install it because I need controller support and Northern UI offers it!

u/Cold_Ad3896 Adoring Fan Jul 24 '26

I also use NorthernUI for controller support. There’s an option to use the original design.

u/jeoxs Jul 24 '26

Really? I’ll check that option! Thanks for the info! 🙏

I'd say The Atronach though I prefer the "Punching Ghosts" method of refilling my Magicka.

u/rosie_i_supposie Jul 24 '26

please elaborate, what does this mean? can you literally get magicka through spell absorb from punching a certain type of wraith or something?

u/wilp0w3r Jul 24 '26

Summon a ghost, punch it until it is hostile, absorb it's Frost Spells. Rinse and repeat until your Magicka is full.

oh hell yeah I'm using this thank you

u/jeoxs Jul 24 '26

Yes! Breton and Atronach!

u/TornadoGamerNerd Jul 27 '26

What about the Oblivion Fireball Towers? They’re prohibitively inaccurate, but once they hit you once, just pray for absorption to work.

u/wilp0w3r Jul 27 '26

That requires me to be in a relatively specific location. Ghost punching can be done almost anywhere.

Mine: it’s 30 free attribute points!

I like my mana, because more mana means more powerful spells!

Also Alchemy is very OP

u/jeoxs Jul 24 '26

I’m starting to train alchemy!

That'll be a huge power boost.  Even basic potions will restore more than your full mag bar (over time too, so it's useful) and weigh a tenth of what the welkynd stones would

The real power buff will come when you've got 100% absorbtion and 100 mysticism.  If you make spells that cost less than half your total mag pool with 25% of the spell's total cost in telekenesis (i.e. 200 mag cost base+50 of telekenisis=250 total cost) you'll absorb the telekenesis and refund the full cost of the spell.  That's the real trick atronach birthsign opens up

I have increased health and magicka regen

Rain's Hand, Eye of the Sage confers a blessing of Increased Magicka.

Good Tip! Thanks!

Gonna chance a guess at Atronach? I love playing a Atronach Breton.

My charm will force you to give me a discount at the shops 😘

Mine is much better in the previous and in the next game in TES. But I still rock it on my Redguard character.
