Bryling, a thane in Solitude wears a pair.

What he said. Finish through "Bound Until Death", then either pickpocket her with misdirection, or just outright kill her. It's the only way to get them without console commands

Well, I've been looking for a good Dunmer Wizard build, and this one definitely takes the Cake! (What? What do you mean the cake is a LIE!?)  I think I may start rolling this build soon.. that is, if I can ever get over Mason's characters. Those bad boys (and girls) are something else!  Anyway, well worth a +1! Solid work, friend!

I've been playing around with this build lately and found something interesting you might like, using summoning staves with 100% absorption has the same effect as regular summoning, except you absorb the base cost of the summon without using any of your own magicka. Like, say a flame atro cost 100, but you could summon it for 50, if you did that with 100% then you'd profit 50 mana, but if you decided to just use a stave instead then you'd profit the full 100 magicka. With acess to the Midden it shouldn't be hard for even lower lvl Telvanii to find Flame, Frost, or Storm staves, making the Atronach still viable in the begining, and possibly even replacing the Ash Guardian. Since summoning staves have soul gems at the head, I justify it rp wise by saying I'm a skilled enough enchanter to suck the mana out of the trapped soul in my staff, and then perpetualy refill it. It's also a pretty fast way to max out enchanting without having to get training from Neloth

Edit: It also fits in with Telvanii mages always keeping staves on them, and even a failed attempt at recharging should net you a tank if you decide to go with a Frost or Storm atro.

Check out my Celestial Guardian, it focus' around this concept.

Can't believe it took me so long to get around to read and like this amazing build. IMO, the best pure mage build on the site. Love it! And pure mages are my favorite playstyle! Such a great build. Awesome job mate!

Haha I know I know! Can't believe it took so long. I wasn't on much when it was first posted, but just never followed any of the "likes" or comments on the feed. Glad I finally read it though. :D I just looked on your page. I knew most of them, but I never saw the Paladin or Demonhunter, are those any good? (Jk, jk. I didn't miss ALL the good builds, just this one (I think)). :P

Wow, the website has changed since Emer took over. I appreciate everyones support! I'm glad you like it Michael!

Why enchanting?? I know the telvanni were master enchanters but what will you be enchanting?

Clothes?  Lots and lots and lots of different robes, boots and gloves.
