Skyrim - Magic. Where can I find spell tomes in Skyrim? Skyrim where to find spells

Magic is an integral part of the world of Nirn, it allows you to control the elements, summon creatures, heal wounds, change matter and create illusions. All this is available for study in Skyrim.

To see the spells available to you, press "Tab" and go to the "Magic" section. Spells are packaged into schools: Alteration, Sorcery, Destruction, Illusion, and Restoration.

You can take 2 different spells in each hand and use them both at the same time and in turn, or take one spell in both hands and (when taking the corresponding perk in each of the schools) use its enhanced version. You can take a sword in one hand and a spell in the other.

Active effects

In addition to spells, in the magic menu you can see what active effects affect you. In particular, the screenshot below shows the effect of activating the Thief Stone:

Talents

To apply a pre-selected talent, press the Z key. Each race has its own unique talent from the very beginning, and you can acquire new talents as you travel. Only one talent can be noted at a time, and in most cases, such talents can only be used once per day.

Skill Up and Spell Levels

To increase a skill - use the spells of the corresponding schools, but in such a way that there is some kind of effect. If you want to pump destruction, then throwing fire at the wall will not help to pump the skill, you need to use the spell against your opponents.

The growth of any skill somehow improves the abilities of the character. The higher the stealth - the quieter you walk, the higher the possession of the bow - the higher the damage from bows. In any school of magic, skill growth has the same bonus - spells cost less magic. But how then to increase the power of spells?

First, the perks. As with any other skill, by investing perks in the school you are interested in, you can significantly increase the effectiveness of spells ... and reduce their cost. The first perk of the school is always to reduce the cost of beginner level spells. Next, you can invest perks to reduce the cost of Apprentice, Adept, Expert, and Master level spells. We'll talk more about levels a bit later.

Second, new spells. You can buy or find spells that are stronger than what you currently have. Spellbooks are bought from the court magicians and the magician's guild. But the most powerful spells will not be sold to you right away, for this you need to reach the appropriate level of skill.

There are 5 spell levels (or mastery levels) in total:

• Beginner: 0 skill;
• Apprentice: 25 skill;
• Adept: 50 skill;
• Expert: 75 skill;
• Master: 100 skill.

Novice and apprentice level spells can be purchased before reaching the appropriate level

To purchase adept and expert level spells, you must reach the appropriate skill level.

Also, you can find spell books wandering through the dungeons. New spell levels will open depending on the level of your character (and your magic school skill does not play a role in this case):

• Beginner: level 1 and above;
• Student: Level 11 and above;
• Adept: level 23 and above;
• Expert: Level 35 and above.

Some spells cannot be bought. You can find a book by wandering around the world (such books lie in a certain place), or get a spell on a quest.

Master level spells

To purchase master-level spells, you must complete the task, which is taken from the teacher of the corresponding school in the College of Winterhold upon reaching skill level 90:

• Illusion: Drevis Neloren (Illusion Ritual Spell);
• Sorcery: Finis Gestor (a ritual spell of sorcery);
• Destruction: Faralda (destruction ritual spell);
• Restoration: Colette Marens (ritual restoration spell);
• Change: Tolfdir (ritual spell of change).

Master level spells differ from lower level spells:

• Both hands are used to prepare the spell (hence you cannot equip 2 different spells).
• You cannot move while casting a spell.
• Spell preparation can be interrupted.

Acquisition of spells

A small supply of starting spells can be bought from the Rivenwood Merchant, novice and apprentice level spells can be bought from any of the court magicians, and the magician can also sell adept spells of a particular school (on reaching the appropriate skill).

Higher level spells are purchased from the College of Winterhold.

Details in the table:

* Adept and expert level spells are bought only upon reaching the corresponding skill level, and for the master level, in addition to the skill level, you must complete the task.

** Grants the ability to trade only after receiving a quest from Azura.

Spellbooks in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, as the name implies, contain certain spells - spells. To learn a new spell, you just need to read the book, then it disappears, and a new magic appears on your list. Spellbooks can also be crafted using Ruined Books, found randomly in caves and house cabinets. You can also use burnt books. To create a Spellbook, the components are used in the Atronach Forge.

Spellbooks can be bought from magic merchants or found in dungeons and other places. These books usually drop randomly, so most of them don't have specific locations other than merchants and a few other locations.

Which Spellbooks you can buy from a merchant depends entirely on your skill level. After leveling up a few levels, new books usually appear.
