Sucks that this is your last build, but it's a hell of a way to go out!

So glad you decided to include the Speech tree with this build. A lot of folks would have been so wrapped up in building the well-rounded magician that they would have forgotten the fact that he's also an adventurer.

I love adventurers and adventuring in Skyrim, and the Thaumaturge is perfectly set up to do just that. I also like the use-what-you-find philosophy... great incentive to get out there and go exploring ;D

It's like a "pure Mage" version of your Factotum build. Cool to see the Thaumaturge reach completion. +1

Awesome build! Great to see a master like you making one builds again, even if it is your last. Really cool build, made even cooler that you can do it with no crafting. +1

I should add some of this in. I guess it has been too long since I posted one!

Shouts were a part, but not a main focus. Definitely supplemental tactics.

Think I might post some in the art group? I need 2 lrn h0w 2 aRt.

I liked this build when you first released it, but now that I've reread it, its even more awesome! This kinda reminds me of my first character, who just used whatever cool stuff he found and did pretty much every questline (both of which was mainly due to my lack of experience with Skryims' leveling system and RPG's in general :D).

Also, did you use trainers at all? Because it seems like Destruction was more of a support skill for your weapons/staves, and I could see how you could use trainers for that, especially when using Speech.

Again, awesome build! I've always enjoyed playing a wandering Pilgrimy character who explores whatever dark dungeon they come across, while having the equipment and spells to deal with whatever awaits inside.

I thought thaumaturge meant ice wizard... That or Cyromancer

Being knowledgeable in Ayleidoon, I found this interesting to read with the occasion quote in the language  Latta na nou rielle, racuvar an anda mor.
