my bread and butter spell is a ranged spell that does about 30 fire, lightning, and ice at the same time, so its the only spell i need to kill anything. Its always good to have a weak heal that heals you over 15 or so seconds so you can still fight while getting healed.

I dont bother with potions since magic is just much more efficient.

In my first file, now with 350+ hours of gameplay, I'm a sorcerer and I still find that the home-made spells that do x amount of damage over a long period of time are the best.

Also, I really enjoy anything that paralyzes for any amount of time, it makes things so much more entertaining.

Favorite spell is the night eye and detect life combo you get as a vampire.  It almost makes playing a sneaky rogue too easy!  Its so much fun though, being able to time everything so you can drop down onto people as they walk out from underneath whatever youre standing on.

Magic in oblivion is BROKEN. essentially, being a mage is too easy and being anything else is tough unless u get the combat system which i never did after a hundred hours of playing. 

Paralysis is so cheap its not even funny. its even more atrocious how your blade skill goes up even when ur hacking an inanimate object.

i personally like invisibility. helps me avoid all those damned demons without having to bother with actually fighting them *gasp*. gets boring fighting them over and over again. The level up with u so u dnt ever get the satisfaction of pwning them hard then moving onto sth more difficult.

a nice cheap combo i find is to get that rechargeable soul gem, put an absolutely crazy enchantment, i.e. 70 fire damage, on my demonic looking sword (the best one) with a soul steal enchanment. that way my swords (i keep an ice, fire and a poison sword all with the same crazy enchantment...just specialized) are constantly charged. i am a high-elf archmage with 100 sword skill and a full set of enchanted demonic armor... i got bored of oblivion pretty fast. havent played it in ages which is why i forget the details.

oh and lets not forget feather. i LOVE that spell. its cheap and triples the amount of stuff i can carry with multiple casts. kinda defeats the point of being a strength based character. a mage does everything so much better.

lol you are a good example why companies make games more simple each time, u even dont

understand such a shollow game like oblivion, just use a specific kind of demage for specific enemies

and save alot of mana, for example fire for undead and lightning for deidra but that is not needed in that

game cause u can use demage health on any enemy (there is no resistance against that)

btw cold damege is useless no ememy has a weakness against it and most of them have a resistance
