Oblivion custom spells.

[Flour]

100 fire damage over 2 seconds
100% weakness to fire for 2 seconds
100% weakness to magic for 2 seconds

Cast it twice and the target will be dead.

First cast did 100 damage, the second cast did 300 damage(both weaknesses start on this hit) the third cast(if fast enough) would do 500 damage.(both weaknesses got doubled)
I can't remember if "weakness to magic" also worked on the "weakness to fire" but if it did then the spell was complete overkill on the third hit.

I also had a similar enchant on a dagger, but with lower damage numbers and a soul drain enchant.(with 2 or 3 attacks per second, you'd do insane amounts of damage depending on weakness timer)

EDIT: small change

I didn't do spells because I was a stealth and if your in a fair fight your doing it wrong. But my favorite enchantment was drain health (100), instant kill.

alchemy+sneak+bow .... even in a fair fight you're doing it right LOOL ... but you'll never get into one haha the multiplier can 1 shot legionaires and bosses if you do it right

 

[Spaceman_Spiff]

50 Fire Damage on Touch for 2 seconds
50 Shock Damage on touch for 2 Seconds
50 Frost Damage on touch for 2 seconds.

I called it the Falcon Punch.

 

[ChocoCake]

Any of the Midas Magic Spells of Aurum.
I especially enjoy the nuke one and the one that summons meteors from the sky.

But if I must be restricted to the console spells, I would pick the most powerful version of Fingers of the Mountain that I have so far encountered. It does around 300 damage for a measly 280 magicka.

 

[ArcWinter]

5 fire damage for a minute, light 10 feet for a minute, 50 feet radius.

That'll teach you to be invisible.

 

[Aunel]

enchanted dagger with extra magic damage, and a spell with lots of magic dmg, that used to work for me.
but mostly I played a sneaky dude.

 

[Fingerprint]

I've never really gone for spells as I almost invariably play as a stealthy character so my magicka is pretty low. Though when I used spells it was normally to heal my Wood Elf or to enchant my weapons, though I did like spells that drained health over a period of time.

 

[GodsOneMistake]

I never messed around with the spells too much. I was swords and minor spells all the way with most of my guys.... Damn I need to buy that game again

 

[pantsoffdanceoff]

Drain Health 100 for 1 second. Make it early and it is super low cost and one shots pretty much everything. Once you get higher I still put in in all my one hit kill spells. Extra 100 damage for 25ish mana.


Another one I do is Burden + Drain Strength keeps em nice and still for my big damage spells.

Sir you have been Ninja'd relinquish your post or I will sue. I jest... kind of.

Why alchemy?

 

[The Great JT]

15 Points Fire Damage
15 Points Frost Damage
15 Points Shock Damage
1 Second Drain Soul
Touch

I call it..."Soul Leech."

Yeeeeah, I'm not a caster-guy. I usually actually put that on a weapon.

 

[Boxpopper]

I like Oblivion and all, but Morrowind's spellmaking system was leagues better. My friend made a destruction spell that would blow up on target, nuking a town with all three types of magic damage.

Why alchemy?

Poisons, beautiful poisons. If you don't use them, you aren't an assassin in my eyes

 

[KaZZaP]

Why alchemy?

Poison for your arrows.

I used poisons.. I just stole them from other people, my goodness that would involve [b/]honest[/b] [i/]work[/i] if I did it VIA alchemy.

 

[RikSharp]

i loved the silliness of putting chamelion and light on the same armor, they cant see you but you light up..?

if you make them yourself you can get some SERIOUSLY overpowered poisons that do mass spell damage but by the second ... most of the time it's 1 shot heaven even without stealth multipliers

plus a master alchemist with good gear can do all this with just 1 ingredient ... alchemy is a ***** to train but by far the most worth it skill in the game .. plus don't forget pots haha lyk .. really good ones that take up all 3 bars .. it also makes the game a whole new experience lol

 

[SLy AsymMetrY]

My fav spell was, a madness spell that caused them to light up, it was quite funny as a stealth char though, because it let you see targets and they went nuts and killed each other letting you through easier

I LIKE those spells. Used to cast them in town whenever I got bored. Watch the chaos, then fight the guards when they try to arrest me.

 

[rasmusernst]

Well if you really wanted to geek out, you could stack your spells like this:

and get heavy damage from relatively easy/low level spells.

 

[L4Y Duke]

Burning Oil: Fire Damage for 1 second for 100 feet on touch.

My Destruction skill sucked, so I couldn't make it too powerful. It did make for a lot of panicked people when I used it in town, though.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

I like creating a cheat spell. 100 Shock dmg, 100 radius 100 duration. Everything flies away. It is quite funny actually. Ragdollizes everyone and makes a hell of a mess if you are inside a house.
