Spell system in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered helps to strengthen the character, regardless of the chosen combat style and starting set of skills. Various magical effects allow you to by in-game restrictions, destroy enemies, restore resources, and also simplify interaction with peaceful NPCs.
Besides the application cheat codes, there are several legal ways to learn new spell combinations for money or by completing quests. The guide provides a complete list of spell merchants offering magic from all available schools: Destruction, Restoration, Illusion, Witchcraft, Alteration, and Mysticism.
How to Create Spells in Oblivion
Manual generation of magic is a complex creative process, and the final result often sures all the standard charms that merchants can offer. At the very beginning of the age, you cannot begin magical experiments, but this can be fixed. Let's look at the main steps that open access to creating your own spells.
Open the spell altar
There are only two places where a character can use a spell altar:
- Praxographic center at the Imperial City University of Magic - you can only get there after completing a chain of quests related to receiving recommendations from local Mages Guilds.
- Inside the tower «Frostcrag Spire" East of Bruma - access is unlocked at any time after reading the former owner's book, but you will have to pay to restore the equipment.
In the first case, you will have to spend a certain amount of time, and in the second, money.
Buy a box of magic candles
To repair the magical altar in Frostcrag Spire, you will need a set of special candles. This item is only sold in the shop "Mystical Emporium" in the Imperial City's Trade District.
Visit the shop during business hours and start a dialogue with Orelinvi. Open the trade menu and in the tab "Miscellanea" you will see an object "Box of Magic Candles", as well as various upgrades for the Frostcrag tower. It is enough to buy one pack - the second one will be useful only if you decide to restore the altar for enchanting things.
After purchasing, return to the Spire, climb the pedestal and examine the right stand. If the hero has candles in his inventory, the altar will automatically become operational.
Use the altar
Before composing spells, it is important to understand the basic functions:
- Sorting magic alphabetically.
- List of available magical properties.
- Input field for titles.
- Selecting a specific effect - this is available for a limited number of enchantments that require you to specify one of the properties, such as which attribute you want to change.
- Casting range - on yourself, on touch or at a distance.
- The magnitude of the spell power is from 3 to 100 units.
- The range of action is from 0 to 100 meters.
- The effect lasts from 1 to 120 seconds.
- Final amount of mana character required to use this magic, as well as the current limit of this resource.
- Amount of money to pay for the generation of the spell.
To create a new magic combination, use the following order of actions:
- Activate the altar.
- Select one of the available properties.
- Set up the basic magic parameters and click the button "Confirm".
- If necessary, add some additional effects, then enter the name and click on the command "Create".
- If there is enough money for generation, a new spell with the selected properties will appear in the journal.
You can use the result of your labors if you have enough mana to use it, and the dependent skill of the magic school is at the required level of development.

Spell Making Tips
Here are some basic guidelines to help you create the most useful and effective spells:
- Do not increase unless necessary duration of the spell, for example, it takes 3 seconds to apply vulnerability, and then deal increased elemental damage.
- Before you start generating a spell, fully restore and, if possible, increase mana reserve и skills of all magic schools - this will allow you to make cooler combinations of spells.
- Give adequate names to ready-made spells, and also do not create unnecessary ones, so that don't clutter your list of magic.
- In one use it will be possible to increase only one attribute or skill, that is, a combination of simultaneous improvement of Strength and Intelligence will increase only the first characteristic.
- Not all effects are compatible among themselves, for example, it is impossible for Scamp, Zombie and Skeleton to be summoned simultaneously in one spell.
- To use specific spells you need know at least one magical action with this parameter, even the minimum level from a race, constellation or other sources with magical properties will do.
- Triggering "on touch" instead "on target" It costs less mana and also reduces the chance of missing - this rule does not apply to the case when you need area damage.
If you doubt the properties of a particular spell, save and test the combination of spells in real conditions - if the result is unsatisfactory, simply load and start again.
