    Gotta say, this is one of the best builds I've ever played. Over 63 hours in, about to hit level 45. Destruction maxed, Conjuration about to hit 100, Illusion still on 71, though. I always thought Fear was the worst Illusion spell, but after actually using it, I gotta say that it's really powerful and keeps your character safe. By now, I rarely use it, though. Mostly just to get the skill up. With a follower, a Wrathman and Incinerate, enemies go down fast enough even on Master difficulty. And Aspect of Terror doesn't even increase my fire damage, since I'm using the Unofficial Skyrim Patch, which fixed this glitch.

    I deviated my character a bit, though. She's an Altmer, wearing red Tribunal Robes (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/20077), and will wear Ahzidal's mask later on for some additional fire power. I also invested into Enchanting and Alteration, going for the Atronach perk there, which, in combination with Necromage and the Atronach Stone, will make her completely immune to magic.

    Great build thinking of starting this character but Any recommendations on what boots and gloves to use until I found ebony or deadric?

    Also, I forgot to mention that this build is a really good build but its missing 2 things: First, like my first comment mentions you did not mention any quest to do or if you did any of the main quest line. Second, how are we supposed to get daedric/ebony gaunglets and boots if we dont have smithing? Out of that I really love this build and I am planning on starting this build quite soon. +1

    Thanks man. For the quests and stuff, I don't like including those because I feel like quests should only dictate a character build if it is absolutely important to do so. This is more of a free range character as I like to call them, so the build is based on the skills and perks and combinations, not quests taken. Use your imagination or best judgement!

    For the boots/gauntlets, they come around in loot at higher levels, so for this character without smithing it was purely an aesthetic choice to use those at end game levels. Any gloves or boots work fine, but as long as you look like the epitome of fear!!

    Ah! I asked because I though you had some specific quest for us from the Dawnguard DLC or something. Well my Fearmonger is already level 6 in master difficulty. Its challenging but I am still alive!
