    Very small, but significant update. A tutorial has been linked for acquiring Mist Form (thanks to Noodles), a small RP note regarding character creation has been made, and a new RP objective has been added that I meant to include from the beginning, but slipped through the cracks edit: And the cloak spells added to the initial key spells list.

    If they had just talked it out, "Baby, I'm sorry I freaked out over seeing you as an undead being." Well, Inzanagi's sleeping on the couch tonight.

    So if you're using cloak spells, why didn't you perk Adept Destruction?

    I just never needed it. Magicka regen was high, even in combat, and I rarely needed to recast the cloaks, but when I did there were enough layers of protection that reducing the cost wasn't necessary. The main situation I used the cloak in was against undead who had detected me and were making for melee combat. It granted passive damage when in Mist Form(during which magicka could continue to safely regen), so once cast, there wasn't any other spell I used after except Bound Bow. Other than that, it was the cloak fortified with potions, and my physical bow.

    So it's a situational spell, but gathering artifacts and getting words of power would have been incredibly tedious without it.

    This is sick man. Pun intended, probably not the first lol. You hit gold on role play and gameplay in so many ways. I love the idea of being immune to physical damage but still vulnerable to magic (almost like ghosts in Morrowind). I think the spell absorption effect would look awesome. Poisonous fog that absorbs magic! Crawling with spiders and casting runes! Maybe roleplay it an actual gift from Peryite after cleansing the temples and cults. Travelling as the Fog is on the playlist. It's late so I'll refrain from ranting, but I really like this. This has gotta be my favorite build of yours.

    Thanks a lot, Casey! I sat on this one for a long time to make sure it would turn out well; looks like it was worth it :D

    I've tried a different header for the abilities/potion sections. Flow better now?
