This is a spell that can only be used by players who have activated the Dragonborn DLC.
Flame Cloak can be obtained by speaking with Faralda at the College of Winterhold. This spell is an Adept level 50 art, so it will take some time to master it, but it is well worth studying. Damage isn’t great, so if the enemy is still on fire, they’ll take even more fire damage, which adds up quickly. Since it fills the Dragonborn with a powerful aura of fire, this is better used for war mages and melee warriors. This wall of fire lasts 60 seconds, dealing 8 points of fire damage per second to enemies within range. However, contrary to common opinion, the Destruction school’s most powerful spells aren’t always higher mastery levels, and some can be cast right away. While some mods bring a slew of new spells to the game, the base game already has plenty of powerful elemental spells that do fire, frost, and shock damage.Įach factor serves a purpose, with fire inflicting additional damage over time, frost exhausting stamina, and shock annihilating enemy Magicka. The Destruction school of magic has the most consistent damage-dealing spells in the series. Each form of magic has a distinct emphasis, such as healing, summoning, defensive, or attack spells. Different builds have different strengths and disadvantages, but almost all will agree that a magic build is the most versatile and adaptable playstyle. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s combat is fairly consistent.
