So far this has been one of the best play-throughs I've had. It was very hard to resist going into smithing and enchanting. I was tempted, but alas I resisted. Thanks Mason for another great build. This one and the volkihar are the best playthroughs yet.

Congratulations for this "Perfect Atronach" concept, i think it's an amazing discovery that can be integrated in many builds .

What i don't understand is how can you discover such a thing... i suspect you of working with the daedra :)

what font d you use?

88 miles per hour! I mean… 

78 points of Magicka! I'm nuts about these builds, Mason's especially. I keep trying to play other games and then, bam!!!! you dudes kick out another awesome build!

Hey man great build! I was just looking through the site for a good build and the name enthralled me. I'm a Christian and I have a fascination with angels, well one of three classes of angels is the seraphim. These guys are only mentioned two times in scripture but they're cool. They have six wings, two covering they're head and two covering they're feet, and the weird thing is that they're not the warrior angels. The seraphim just sits at the Throne and praise God. Sorry for the long explanation but like I said these guys are cool. Awesome build and keep up the great work!

Sweet, Roman Catholic, I have one with Archangels. I mean, Saint Michael is probably the most badass Angel in history.

I have 2 questions.
1)  Has anyone tried Ultimate Atronach along with the Aetherial Crown?  The Aetherial crown claims it will retain the existing stone you have.  I guess I will test this out for myself, but I am curious and would rather not go through the long effort of the quest for the crown only to find out it's worthless for this build.

2)  What happens when you can no longer find philters of the healer?  Starting around level 30 don't these disappear and become replaced with Elixir of the Healer (50%)?  If so, can you replace the combo of philter->draught->philter with elixir->philter->elixir?  

Addendum.  Going back and forth between Hag's Cure, Elgrim's Elixirs, and the White Phial for 3 hours and no good.  I'm level 24 now, and have spent a silly amount of time.  I haven't seen a single philter of healing.  I've seen philters of about every other kind though.  Out of frustration I used the console to start me out so I can start leveling destruction.  It feels cheapened though.  The exhilaration of the playstyle with the ultimate atronach is crazy awesome though.  

1. What, like putting the Atronach Stone on the crown? It would work, but then you'd have to make sure you never de-equip the crown, or else you'll need two more philters and another draught.... And several quests forcibly de-equip worn gear. So I'd recommend using the Atronach as your "true stone". But yeah, you can certainly have a second stone active without interfering with this effect.

2. They're always available from level 20+. Elixirs are added at level 30+, but merchants will still continue to stock philters. And no, elixir --> philter --> elixir will not work. It only works with the philter --> draught --> philter method.

3. Just bad luck. The quickest option to force merchants to restock is to use the "punch a merchant" trick. If you're not down with that, since it's mildly exploitative, you can just throw on some armor, and fast travel back and forth between Markarth and Riften. There's just over 24 hours travel time between these two cities (when armored), so each round trip takes about 49-50 hours -- just enough time for the apothecaries to restock. If you don't use fast travel either, well, you're just SOL. But since you don't mind using the console, I'm guessing you're okay with fast travel and/or light exploits. In any case, you've already taken care of it yourself, so it's a nonissue at this point.

Thanks Teccam, that was the answered I needed.  

1) I can see why it's important to keep the atronach as the "true stone" with the crown.  I guess my question was more in relation to the "ultimate" atronach.  Does losing or gaining a secondary stone, bug out the ultimate atronoch?

2)  Awesome info.  Thank you.  Glad I picked up so many Draughts of the Healer as I leveled now.

Thanks again.  Awesome feedback.
