how to make spells oblivion

To make spells in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, follow these steps:

How to Make Custom Spells in Oblivion

1. Find an Altar of Spellmaking
   Custom spells can only be created at an Altar of Spellmaking, which are located in two places:

   • Inside the Arcane University (requires joining the Mages Guild)
   • Frostcrag Spire (requires purchasing Magetallow Candles and completing a small quest)
     This is your starting point for spell creation

2. Unlock Spell Effects
   You can only use spell effects that you have learned by either purchasing spells from vendors or obtaining them through quests. Your skill level in the relevant magic school also limits the maximum power of effects you can use (novice to master level)

3. Create Your Spell
   At the altar, select the spell effects you want to combine. You can customize:

   • Range: Self, Touch, or Target
   • Magnitude: Strength of the effect (damage, healing, etc.)
   • Area: Size of the effect's area (if applicable)
   • Duration: How long the effect lasts
     Adding more effects or increasing magnitude/duration increases the spell’s magicka cost and gold value

4. Use Spell Stacking for Powerful Spells
   You can create very powerful spells by stacking effects, especially by combining weakness spells with damage spells. For example:

   • Create two "Prepare" spells that apply 100% Weakness to Fire and 100% Weakness to Magic for 5 seconds on Touch.
   • Create a "Fatality" spell that deals Fire Damage (e.g., 10 pts for 10 secs) on Touch.
     Casting the weakness spells first amplifies the damage done by the Fatality spell, making it extremely powerful

5. Tips for Efficient Spellmaking
   • Touch spells are cheaper to cast and faster to use than targeted spells.
   • Increasing duration is more magicka efficient than increasing magnitude for many effects.
   • Combining different elemental damage types (fire, frost, shock) in one spell can reduce enemy resistances and increase effectiveness

 * Adding effects like Drain Health or Paralyze can make spells more versatile and deadly

Summary

• Access an Altar of Spellmaking in Arcane University or Frostcrag Spire.
• Unlock and select spell effects based on your skill level.
• Customize range, magnitude, area, and duration to create your spell.
• Use spell stacking with weakness effects to maximize damage.
• Favor touch spells and balanced magnitude/duration for cost efficiency.

This process allows you to tailor spells for combat, utility, or training purposes, making spellmaking a powerful and flexible feature in Oblivion
