    I'm hoping 1.9 fixes silent moons enchant. A chaos / silent moons weapon would seem ideal for this character.

    Wow this is actually a very good build ashamed i haven't 1+ it until now. I also love the history and how you put the spells into the elements. A very deserving 1+.

    Really good representation with this, I love how you managed to put together a list of spells for each individual element but I'm unsure if you chose to use Altmer for the skills or looks because I think that Dunmer or Bosmer would fit skills better or match the look better respectively. Still you obviously put plenty of time into making this and a small thing like racial choice doesn't bother me at all.

    I love the ancient mer builds, I think the extigued mer species are more interesting than the actual ones by far. Until now I don´t payed much attention to the Ayleids except for some ruins I explored during Oblivion, but this encouraged me to do a little research... so +1 easily. And, maybe I give the build a try too. Great work.

    New to this site, currently enjoying playing your sun priest build (just hit level 40) but this looks like something I might play next.  Was wondering though if you would make Dawnbreaker a third exception to the "no fire" rule.  Ayleids are assoicated with Meridia as you mentioned, and I love that sword in the early game.  Switching it from fire to sun damage ("light") would probably make a lot of sense but it is what it is.  Anyway, I like the build.

    Hey, glad you like it.

    I would certainly think that would not only acceptable in terms of my original RP concept, but also an awesome idea. You could RP entirely as intense sunlight which of course would result in the enemy catching fire.

    Yeah that's more or less what I was thinking.  One reason I think I like this build is I've been trying to make a frost/shock spellsword build myself using an orc.  The RP is a half orc/half Nord who was raised in the Nordic tradition and is now a paladin or priest of Kyne. You know, a fierce warrior with the power of the Storm.  Sort of a combination of Ponty's paladin and your Kamal.  Having trouble balancing it out though with lightning spells costing so much magika, and nowhere near the quality of these other builds as far as posting it yet.   I also wanted it to use block like the Sun Priest as well.  Seeing this now though I might just go with being an Ayleid.  I like the RP and after orc, Altmer is my next favorite race. Anyway, glad I found this site and your page in particular.

    One of the best lore expositions for a build in the group.
    Applause and +1.
