    HI, BILLY MAYS HERE FOR... sorry about not starting off like I normally do.  I've been fixing my back with the power of the Mighty Mendit, while drinking a quart of KaBOOM! for painkiller relief.

    Nice build. It reminds me a lot of both the Combustion Golem as well as Oz, the Great and Powerful. Both character builds have players assuming the role of an adventurer with zero magical talent, but both make up for it in interesting ways. 

    I like how you use enchanting to imbue your daggers with magic. Its no secret that a powerful enough elemental enchantment can more than make up for a lack of investment into one handed perks.

    I just went to read them, and they're both awesome builds. I'm actually a bit creeped out that Oz is so similar, but I think it's all good.

    The elemental enchants is mainly why I never perked One-Handed or even brewed Fortify One-Handed potions or used the enchantments. Originally, I tried to use it all, but I became the ultimate glass cannon. I could one-shot so many things, but most things could also one-shot me.

    I like this one a lot... I'm a fan of the idea of drawing inspiration (even if only the name) from other fictions and moulding them to fit into Skyrim.

    I'm also a fan of a character that "fakes it"in order to become Arch-Mage of what is supposed to be one of the most prestigious magical groups in all Tamriel.

    I'll give it +1, but I wish you'd made him more like Argus Filch, cuz we all know he's the one Squib to rule them all

    My only gripe with this otherwise stellar build is its length. Now this doesn't bother everyone but still, this was like 2,000 words long or something. You could've adequately gotten your point across with far fewer words and saved everyone a bunch of time. Like I said, though, the build is excellent and well-deserving of my +1.

    Like the 'magician with no spells' idea, similar to Oz but still definitely very different! +1

    Very cool take on the Witchhunter. Just a well-executed unique concept. Easy +1!
