    If that is Odin you should flip the picture. He is missing his right eye, not the left. You seem like a lore geek like me, so I figured it would matter :)

    For some reason almost all artwork portray him missing the left eye. I guess it just seems more natural to any human to give him the scar on the left side when visualizing him. But the fact is he gave away his eye for all the wisdom and knowledge of the world, and they demanded his most important eye. Which in in Norse times always meant the right side of the body. (Right arm, right leg, etc)

    Surprisingly its, its actually never specified in Völuspá which eye he gave, tough I'd agree with you, and say the right, but it seems this artist would say otherwise, but we digress.

    The only real spell cast with this build is paralyze, though it would be interesting to see the effects of Quiet Casting on say, Marked for Death. It does affect shouts, if I am correct. Definitely worth the 20 mins.

    certainly if he went to 81 I could see him maxing the illusion tree. I'm sure you could also play off the whole stealing souls & dreams with undead and Conjuration. I really must say, I did not give him destruction on purpose. I like that his offensive power comes from his staff, and being dependent on the staff for any real combat, forces you to steal dreams and creep around in the night. Play with it though. Let me know what you come up with.

    Just a typo, fixed!

    Of course Destruction is 'ok'! I dont have a copyright or anything. I just, personally wouldn't choose it. Though if I were too, id definitely rationalize it as drawing power from the staff.

    I was thinking the steed stone + the extra pockets perk. So you can carry 500+ weight of things. I just thought it'd be neat to rationalize the broken physics of the game by making them part of the build. Its a bottomless bag type of thing :)

    I absolutely agree! gameistly, its just extremely useful, and, if that can be tied into the rp, its all the better. You can pick up tons of loot and still feel the immersion.

    Thanks! I actually thought of the rhyme before the build, so it all followed from there.
