Who's the model you used for the last picture if you don't mind me asking

I am just wondering but how often do people just say screw it, after losing the infinite concentration ability due to wisps, and use Circle of Protection to do nearly the same thing since your likely to hit the required restoration value pretty quickly after getting the Infinite Concentration Spell trick working?

Can you clarify what CoP does as "the same thing"?  Thanks.

That's awesome.  Now I can go back to try this out.  I started a new character this morning and confirmed also that it now works! 

Now, I just need to get over my Skyrim burnout to actually attempt another playthrough..lol.

The affect is easy to regain. Just have a storm atronach use its explosion ability on you. The force adept build makes use of CoP to regen magicka

Love this, btw

A quick question - do magicka cost reducing items affect the UA ability? Also, is alchemy a necessity? I know that sounds kinda stupid, but I find alchemy the most Grindy and needless skill

Can't wait to try it!

No, magicka cost reduction is fine with concentration casting but obviously not necessary for the concentration spells themselves that become effectively free. Never be afraid to rearrange builds to your liking! My first thought when reading any build is what it would play like with the crafting removed. I've played this in a few different versions and don't think I've used alchemy once. Playing on expert rather than master is my default setting for no crafting though.
