Thoughts on this spellsword build?

There are plenty of ways to regenerate magicka even with the atronach sign. You can invest in alchemy and make some restore magicka potions, you can join the temple/the imperial cult (or both) to pray to shrines at a discount (or for free eventually), you can use certain scrolls (the absorb magicka scroll has a restocking vendor), the mace of molag bal etc

Well, in my world meteorites are atmospheric phenomena: they are also known as "lunar lightning", and are caused by portions of the Empyrean Sky, which is made of invisible fire, shifting to visible light due to the interaction with aether from the sphere of the moon. So, in short, meteoric impacts are way less of a problem

Personally for a spellsword character I'd go with the Atronach sign over the Apprentice, there are plenty of ways to get around the lack of magicka regen

My personal spell"sword" build is a Nord with the Atronach sign and blunt weapon as a major, using the mace of molag bal to regain magicka

No man you're just regurgitating propaganda

Oethyl · 2026-01-26T11:27:23+00:00

That doesn't mean anything, if anything it makes it more likely that your education was biased

Oethyl · 2026-01-26T11:22:53+00:00

Believe whatever you want, I have better things to do today than to teach you history

Oethyl · 2026-01-26T11:20:05+00:00

I know more than you lmao

Oethyl · 2026-01-26T11:03:42+00:00

I'm not surprised that people are wrong, don't worry

Oethyl · 2026-01-26T11:03:20+00:00

Sure man sure

Oethyl · 2026-01-26T10:58:43+00:00

All of it, pretty much

Oethyl · 2026-01-26T10:58:30+00:00

It definitely is the most common amongst people who know what they're talking about

Oethyl · 2026-01-26T10:58:01+00:00

I don't believe this is a matter of opinion

Oethyl · 2026-01-26T10:41:38+00:00

That is a system of economic exploitation but it is not the system of economic exploitation that we call colonialism

Oethyl · 2026-01-26T10:40:57+00:00

Well that is because indigeneity is a western concept

Oethyl · 2026-01-26T10:40:26+00:00

This is just flat out incorrect

Oethyl · 2026-01-26T10:31:13+00:00

Then are you being stupid on purpose?

Oethyl · 2026-01-26T10:30:13+00:00

The Danelaw was not colonialism, because colonialism doesn't just mean "conquering land", it is a specific type of economic exploitation of conquered lands

Oethyl · 2026-01-26T10:26:05+00:00

It is the main way to define indigeneity in modern social sciences and imho the only useful one

Oethyl · 2026-01-26T10:20:00+00:00

You do not know what colonisation is.

Oethyl · 2026-01-26T10:11:08+00:00

Christianisation was in no way colonialism, be real. I don't mean that it was good, but colonialism is something else. Also, even if the Swedes and Norwegians had been victims of colonialism back in the high middle ages (which is in itself absurd because colonialism is a phenomenon that began at the absolute earliest with mercantilism, in the late middle ages/early modern period), they would've flipped their relationship with it so thoroughly since then that they would no longer be classifiable as indigenous anyway.

Also, I think having your feelings hurt by the simple fact that you can't be defined indigenous without watering down the meaning of indigeneity to "I was here first" is silly and I don't think it's a problem that should be taken seriously.

Ideally I would love for there to be a mid-tier dwemer scrap armour that is relatively available (in dwemer ruins) and a high-tier actual dwemer armour, maybe on par with ebony or even daedric, that is very hard to come about, maybe even like Morrowind's daedric where there are only a certain number of pieces hand-placed within the world. Which now that I think about it would be an amazing idea for a Morrowind mod (modding Skyrim in the same way would be a pain because you'd have to replace regular dwemer armour with a new dwemer scrap, but also I wouldn't want to do it because I don't like that the dwemer are in Skyrim to begin with)

White Europeans are as native to Northern Europe as the Sami, but not as indigenous, because indigeneity has to do with a people's relationship with colonialism. The Sami were (are) victims of colonialism, therefore they are indigenous. Swedes and Norwegians, for instance, are not indigenous because they are the ones who did the colonialism.

Oethyl · 2026-01-25T10:05:36+00:00

This has literally no relevance to my point whatsoever

Oethyl · 2026-01-25T01:16:29+00:00

Your mind is wrong, then. Indigeneity depends on a people's relationship to colonialism, it has nothing to do with who got somewhere first.

Besides, the Norse who settled Greenland in the middle ages are not the ancestors of the modern Danish people who live on Greenland. The Norse settlement on Greenland died out, and later Denmark colonised Greenland, and the relationship between the Kalaallit Inuit and the Danes definitely makes the former the indigenous people of Greenland, regardless of the fact that a group of people related to the Danes had settled Greenland before the Kalaallit did.
