    I did a bit of googling and found this image. Seems pretty fitting for the perk spread. Almost like he's using enchanting on a dagger.

    This kinda reminds me of Melisandre, from ASoIaF (or Game of Thrones for you TV peasants). Of course, minus the warhammer.

    Creep Cluster + Mora Tapinella + Scaly Pholiota =
    Restore Magicka + Fortify Carry Weight + Weakness to Magic + Regenerate Stamina + Fortify Illusion.
    This is btw the most expensive potion to craft with ingredients that can be planted in an heartfire-greenhouse. The base-value is 555. Free Money.

    Late to the party here but I really like the sound of this build and want to give it a crack. Is there anywhere that respawns the Spider Pods used to create scrolls? Everything I've read says there's only one respawning pod in the game and it's paaaainfully slow to oblige.

    Thank you! I hope you have a great run. As far as I'm aware, that is the only spider pod that respawns. If you play on PC, and you're absolutely desperate for more, you can always create them by pressing the tilde key " ~ " and opening the Console Command.

    Then type: Player.AddItem xx017719 n

    Where XX is either 02, 03, or 04 (depending on what other DLCs you have)... and N is the amount of pods you want to make.

    For starters, I love the concept behind this build. Awesome roleplay opportunity! So I started running this guy, and i have a couple comments and questions. I really like the idea of incorporating Auriel's bow, but I have always found it difficult to mesh Destruction and Archery, unless you maximize on the novice spells in melee range, with a one-hander and use bows for ranged. Any tips you may offer in regards to this? I am playing on the Xbox one. For added flare, I am using wearable lanterns. There's also a little mod to add color variety to the actual candles in the game. Also, Kagrenac's Wisps is a mod that adds these craftable floating orbs that grant bonuses when activated. As a bringer of light, I find the aesthetic thematic, and the benefits are useful. I'm wearing hoodless Mythic Dawn robes/shoes/gloves, brown hide cape /w fur backpack (modded), and this variant of the SC officer helmet with antlers. Gives him this wandering hermit look that feels fitting. Dunmer are very accepting of the Daedra. I'm sure there's a way to make Azura and Meridia a part of your personal character's backstory. If you're like me, you're looking for a reason to have this guy use Dawnbreaker. Just a thought.

    Arachnomancy mod adds the oil spider in spell form. If you want to add conjuration (They're very cheap to cast); could also use ash summons? You are a dunmer. I would say ash is also thematic for this roleplay concept.
