*It contains dawnguard and dragonborn spoilers.
It is my first build so far so tell me any mistakes I’ve done.I wanted to make a mage who uses mainly fire spells and a couple of shock spells.I didn’t want a pure mage but a character who uses staffs and even weapons when his magicka is depleted.So I proudly present you:

 

He remembers it like it happened yesterday…it was a quiet,cold night and nothing could have warned him for what was going to happen.Suddenly a scream sounded full of despair outside of his house.He woke up and tried to wake up his wife…but she wasn’t there,his children neither.He quickly got outside and the sight he saw made him freeze.His two children were slaughtered and his wife was in the hands of a mysterious black robed man.She was struggling to escape but the man’s grip was too strong for her.With a quick move,extremely quick for any human or mer,the man knocked his teeth in the woman’s neck.She struggled for a second and then stayed still while her lifeless body was falling on the ground. –NOOOOO-he yielded with despair,but it was too late.He tried to attack the mysterious man but he was too quick for him.With two powerfull blows the man successfully broke most of his enemy’s bones. –HA HA HA HA-he laughed at the almost dead body.-YOU REALLY THOUGHT THAT A SIMPLE MAN LIKE YOU,CAN POSSIBLY HURT A POWERFULL VAMPIRE OF THE VOLKIHAR CLAN??he said with deep voice.-YOUR STUPIDITY IS SO AMUSING….I WILL LET YOU LIVE SO YOU CAN TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THE POWER WE POSSESS…..SO LONG MORTAL…HA HA HA HAAA-he said and vanished. The pyromancer tried to cure his wounds but he was too weak.He knew the end was near…but he didn’t care.That way he would be with his family soon… Suddenly a voice sounded in his head.She was deep,absolute and powerful. -DON’T…..DIE…..MORTAL….WE….WILL…..HELP….YOU….TAKE….YOUR…..REVENGE…..AND……YOU…..SHALL…..BECOME…..OUR…..CHAMPION…..- -WHO IS IT?-the pyromancer asked.Immediately three strange forms appeared in front of him.A warrior inside a glowing elven armor,an old wizard and a woman who was emiting a warm light.The wizard answered first:-I….AM…THE…..MIGHTY….MAGNUS….THE …..GOD…OF….SORCERY...-Then the warrior said:-I…AM ….AURI-EL….THE…ELVEN…GOD….-and lastly the strange woman:-I….AM….MERIDIA..…THE….SOLAR….DAUGHTER….ONE…OF…THE….MAGNA….GE……WE….SAW….IN…YOUR….SOUL……MORTAL…….AND…..WE….WANT….TO….MAKE…A…DEAL………….YOU….WILL…..HELP….US.…BRING..…BALANCE….TO…THE…WORLD….AND…WE….WILL…GRANT.….YOU…..THE…POWER….TO….DESTROY….YOUR….ENEMIES……..DO…YOU…ACCEPT….MORTAL…???she asked. -I DO-he said,sure for his decision.After a few days,fully cured from his injuries,he was on his way to Skyrim.He heard that the Volcihar vampires were living in a secluded castle there.He had made his choice.He would go there and slaughter every damn vampire along with the killer of his family.

There weren’t many things left for him in Morrowind except for pain and lost dreams.

 

                                                                            

RACE:Dunmer(dark elf)I chose this race mainly for their natural resistance to fire and their special ability which fit well at a fire mage.

STONE:The atronach stones is a good option as it fortify magicka absorption, adds 50+ magicka and the only negative(slower magicka regeneration)can be negated with the enchantments of the armor-cloths.

BLESSING:Akatosh or Talos.

STATS: 1/3/1

As a mage character it is recommended to lvl up magicka mainly.The pyromancer also uses weapons so he need stamina.He doesn’t need ridiculous amounts of health as he uses spells to drain the life essence of his enemies to fill his own(F.e. with the drain vitality shout.).You can also try 2/2/1.Whatever you like the best!!!

 

 SKILLS

•Destruction:The pyromancer is focusing especially in the use of this magic school.He uses all the known fire spells and from the shock spells only lightning storm.The best perks for this character are of course augmented flames(2/2) and augmented shock(2/2),and if you want to,even impact and dual cast.So the maximum lvl for destruction is up to 60.As a dunmer,this character has +10 initial skill bonus to destruction so I think dark elf is a good choice for this build.

•Restoration:Although the pyromancer is under the protection of three gods,he can’t possibly believe that they will save him from every danger!He needs to know some «tricks» so he can survive from the difficulties of his journey.So some spells this character will use a lot are cure health and of course as the champion of Meridia all the turn undead ones.The best perks are recovery(2/2),respite and regeneration.If you have the time it would be good to max this school.

•One-handed:He mainly is a mage,but that doesn’t mean he can’t use a sword in a time of need.The only weapons the pyromancer uses,except for staves,are swords so the only perks from this skill tree we actually need are armsman(5/5) and bladesman(3/3) so this skill must reach lvl 90.

•Block:For the best possible use of Auri-el’s shield,we must have a high block skill.I think that all the perks of this skill must be taken.⁺If you want to easily reach lvl 100,when you’re fighting a dragon,use dragonrend ,then the staff of Magnus so he won’t use shouts and finally block all his melee attacks with Auri-el’s shield.

•Archery:The best perks from this skill tree that I recommend you to take are overdrow(5/5),eagle’s eye,steady hand(1/2),quick shot and power shot.So you must reach this skill at least lvl 70.

•Alchemy:You really MUST take alchemy to lvl 100 so you can make all the elixirs and philters you need to leave from any battle victorious.All the potions and poisons below are maxed so you will need mainly the perks alchemist(5/5),benefactor,physician and if you have spare skill points,experimenter(1/3),snakeblood and purity too.

You can invest skill point to other skill trees too if you like,like two handed,sneak for powerfull backstabs,illusion for invisibility and everything else you want!!!

Using the perk calculator those are the skills i think best to invest till level 20(http://skyrimcalculator.com/360788)and level 40(http://skyrimcalculator.com/360790)   

 

  ARMOR

You can actually wear anything you want but it should be mages robes or something like that.Arch-mage’s robes,telvanni wizard or cultists robes are all good.(I personally suggest arch-mage's robes which you can take after completing the quest "The staff of Magnus" ).

 

 POTIONS

•Elixir of Auri-el:The elven god grants the wielder of his bow extra stability and the natural condition of a professional marksman.(elixir of keenshot:bows do more damage+faster stamina regeneration for 60 sec).†‡

 

•Extract of Magnus:The enemie’s magic resistance is weakened by the god.(poison of deadly aversion to magic:target is 100% weaker to magic for 30 sec).†

 

•Meridia’s blood:Only her champion is given this powerful poison blessed by the godness herself.(poison of deadly aversion to fire:target is 100% weaker to fire damage for 30 sec).†

 

•Aetherius philter:Magnus protects the wielder of his staff from every magic attack(philter of resist magic:resist 20% of magic for 60 sec). †

 

 

 

 WEAPONS

•The staff of Magnus.†
This staff was given to the pyromancer by the god of sorcery himself,so he can harness his great powers.With that he can absorb the aetherial and life essense of his enemies when his is depleted.
Related quests:•The eye of Magnus.
                           •The staff of Magnus.

 

•The Dawnbreaker.‡
This unique blade is the main weapon of the pyromancer.His special fire enchantment helps him to destroy easily any kind of undead.It is especially effective against vampires who are undead and have weakness to fire.
Related quests:•The break of dawn.

 

 

•Silver sword:this weapon is deadly against any kind of undeads and especially werewolves.The pyromancer use an enchanted version of this sword which set in fire and captures the soul of the undead it hits.₮

•Auri-el’s bow:The elven god granted his new champion the ability to take full advantage of the sun for making his fire spells stronger.The pyromancer can also use the bow with a special kind of elven arrows,the sunhollowed ones to send the destructives beams of Aur-el at his enemies. Related quest:Touching the sky.

 

 

•Auri-el’s shield:By continuously blocking with this shield,the pyromancer can release a devastating energy tsunami which can easily destroy countless enemies at once.

 

 

 

 NOTES

POTIONS:†Those potions are the stronger of their type.It’s the same with potions of lower magnitude.

‡Such potions can be found only in the thieves guild thief cashe barrels,so it’s recommended to join the thieves guild and become the thieves guild master or not.whatever you like the best.

 

WEAPONS:†For the maximum damage of the staff make a philter of the ethereal cosmos like the in Adric’s Celestial Warlock.
‡There is a glich which can give you two dawnbreaker.When arriving at the altar where dawnbreaker is,don’t take it immediately.Cast blizzard or fire storm(or use a scroll it’s the same) near the altar and a replica of the blade will be created.You can find it around there,on the floor.DON’T TAKE THE REAL ONE FIRST CAUSE THE QUEST WILL END AND YOU WILL BE TRANSPORTED IMMEDIATELLY OUTSIDE THE TEMPLE,MISSING THE CHANCE TO GET A SECOND DAWNBREAKER.
₮Although it already has an enchantment(which doesn’t need to be recharged)it can be farther enchanted.You can put whatever enchantment you want and not the one I say above.You can also use the two-handed version of this weapon if you like.It’s up to you!

The pyromancer visits the shrine of his goodness-protector…Meridia.

 

 OFFENSIVE

•Meridia’s rage:The pyromancer using the ancient techniques of his ancestors,cloaks his body with fire and destroys everything in his path with the blessing of the godness.(ancestor’s wrath+wield two dawnbreaker(see glitch above) or dawnbreaker+blessed silver sword)

 

 

 

•Auri-el’s vengeance:The pyromancer uses the sun to deadly injure his enemies and finishes them off by unleashing the power of Auri-el through his shield.(Auri-el’s bow+sunhollowed elven arrows+Auri-el’s shield fully charged power bash).

 

 

 

•Volcanic eruption†:The pyromancer creates a fire vortex around himself and attacks his enemies by releasing the essence of fire through his body.(ancestor’s wrath+dual cast wall of flames+fire breath).

 

 

 

•Wrath of Magnus:The devastating power of the god of sorcery is unleashed on the pyromancer’s enemies desintigrating everyone that stands in his path.(storm call+staff of Magnus RH+thunderbolt).Cast sorm call and in the same time hit the enemy with the stuff of Magnus and thunderbolt or any other shock spell.This move can find a good use against mage opponents because it will completely deplete their magicka.Also good for fighting dragons so they cant use shouts.

 

 

•Ragnarok:The pyromancer invokes the mighty gods Auri-el and Magnus to grant him their powers to destroy his enemies.(storm call+Auri-el’s bow+sunhollowed elven arrows+lightning storm).First shoot the sun with Auri-el's bow and after a few seconds storm call.When the enemies are hitted by the shout cast lighting storm to completely disintegrate them.

 

 

 

DEFENSIVE

•Holy water:The gods bless the pyromancer for a quick recovery in the middle of the battle,by fortifying his health,stamina and magicka regeneration.(elixir of well being or elixir of regeneration+elixir of vigor+elixir of lasting potency).

 

 

•Fire within(permanent effect):The pyromancer has accompliced to become a master fire wizard and completely resistant to this specific element.(50% resistance from his dunmer blood+50% resistance from the mask of Ahzidal).Although the limit is 85% fire resist so thats how far it goes.

 

OFFENSIVE+DEFENSIVE

 

Holy fire:Meridia protects her champion and burns his enemies to ashes.(become ethereal+fire storm+sun stone power).The fire storm and the use of sun stone power negate the ethereal shout so when invisible by the shout cast fire storm which takes time and can be interrupted when hit and after that immediately sun flare.The combination of those two is pretty powerfull as they knock out and damage the enemies in big range around you.Better keep this for when you are syrrounded.

 

†The volcanic eruption is an extremely powerful ability as ancestor’s wrath and wall of flames become stronger by the perk augmented flames(2/2) and ahzidal’s mask and also fire breath by the perk(50%),the mask(25%) and the meditation from Paarthurnax(25%).

 

This is sketch of the pyromancer as I expect him to be.The only difference will be the clothes.As I mentioned before, a good choice is the the telvani robes or if you like,cultist or even temple priest robes.Whatever you like the best.On the other hand if you don’t like the 75% magicka regeneration enchantment of the clothes above,you can make your own.I think the best enchantments for the armor of this build are fortifiy destruction+magicka regeneration.Although once again i strongly believe the best option is arch-mage's robes.
So that’s it…I hope you like it.Any corrections you think I should make,are welcome .

yes i can draw pretty well and i though how would it look,before i test it in game..

Great picture dude!

ty..Actually i am working on a new build and made a sketch for it too..its about a vampire (lord) swordsman..its not completed yet but here you are 

You have artistic talent i cant touch. Looks amazing. I encourage you to start a discussion gallery of your work in the art group.

Oh yeah, just a pointer, your Fire Within move isn't completely correct, as you cannot have 100% resistance to fire. The cap is 85%, so you're close enough, but you might want to correct that.
