    Although I really lkke the idea of sapping health, magicka and stam Ik na from your opponent simultaniously I think I have to disapoint you by saying that the Drain Vitality Shout only does Stamina damage, why it won't sap it I don't know. That info came from this website: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Drain_Vitality

    To quote said page (emphasis mine):

    1 Word: 5 points of damage to stamina for 30s, stagger effect of 0.8

    2 Words: 5 points of damage to stamina and magicka for 30s, stagger effect of 0.8

    3 Words: 5 points of damage to stamina, magicka and health for 30s, stagger effect of 0.8

    Fair enough, I was just thinking you could roleplay that the warlock has no real knowledge of the power of the Voice, unleashing the full power of Soul Tear (all 3 words), then he begins trying to use it's partial power instead (2 words, like you said), but he sometimes messes up, using the full power from time to time.

    I dunno how I missed liking this before - thought I did it already. Y'know, Warlocksg, I think you've probably got all the material you'd need for a combat magic post right in the comments of your builds :)

    @Leto: what Albino said. it does damage health and all other resource pool up to 150 pts, so yeah...

    Not quite mate... i got still a few kinks to work out... the combat magic post is still a  work on progress, cause there are a lot of things to consider:

    • Magicka cost
    • Magicka vs Magicka Regen
    • Usage of staves: when and how to use them

    and others that I can't think off right now... sigh/

    you could make it a series.  you've got tons of stuff right in your builds and in the comments, you could make an initial post sort of summing up the stuff you've already used, and then go into greater depth on each of the above topics in later posts. Seriously, I've already learned a ton just reading your CBs.

    don't over think it, man!

    I'm kind of surprised no one has made mention of this but in order to get Season Unending you have to get pretty far into the main quest so you should probably put the main quest with the recommended quests instead of optional, just a thought. Otherwise good.
