    Muffle also helps. Keep it on when walking the roads and hills of Skyrim, and the Bears and Saber Cats won't even hear you strolling by.

    In the beginning, when we have none of these spells, should we simply use Flames? That is the only confusion from me. Anyhow, +1 from me.

    Yeah, use Flames but immediately grab that stave of Fireballs near the Thalmor Embassy just after you run through Helgen. You can use any of the Greater Powers on their own too. The listed spells are just their "end game" versions if that makes sense. So you'll start with Ancestor's Wrath and you can pick up the Ritual Stone right away. Also, depending on how early you take vampirism, it offers three of the Greater Powers. So you can obtain half the Greater Powers at Lvl 1 by relying on that stave. I roleplayed that I was slowly building my powerful spellbook one power at a time :)

    Thanks Cristian! It's a challenging build but very rewarding if you get into the roleplay at all. If you have any problems drop a comment here and I'll give you a few V-Wiz tips :)

    You do need one dragon soul though. If you can manage to unlock one word of Bend Will then ultimate power awaits!!!

    That would be me. I change the rank tags for folks who aren't around to change them anymore but nowadays I change them all out of habit.
