How to Power Level Mysticism in Oblivion Remastered

by

In the game ‘The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered’, Mysticism is considered one of the most challenging schools to advance in when it comes to magic. This is because its spells tend to be mysterious and complex, unlike Conjuration or Destruction spells which can be used more freely.

To swiftly advance in the art of Mysticism, players should primarily focus on a specific collection of spells. These spells offer an efficient way to accumulate Mysticism skill points, eliminating the need for external influences. Breakdown as follows:

1. Cast the chosen spells frequently: This will generate experience points (XP) at a faster rate, contributing significantly to the progression in Mysticism.
2. Minimize reliance on external factors: Focusing solely on internal methods ensures a steady pace of growth without relying on unpredictable elements outside your control.

How to Increase Mysticism Level Fast in Oblivion Remastered

The quickest method to enhance Mysticism in Oblivion Remastered is by crafting custom spells with the highest magicka cost a player can manage. These custom spells are made exclusively at an Altar of Spellmaking, which can be obtained either through completing the Mages Guild questline or finding it in Frostcrag Spire (more information will be provided later).

In the realm of Mysticism, a simple spell known as Life Detection Scan serves as an ideal choice for leveling up. This is due to its unique feature that it functions without requiring a particular target. If you’re interested, you can acquire Minor Life Detection (which is equivalent to the Life Detection Scan on Self) from Calindil at the Mystic Emporium located in the Market District of the Imperial City. The price is quite modest.

Once you’ve mastered the Life Detection Scan, make your way to an Altar of Spellmaking to access the custom spell menu. To progress in your Mysticism, you will need to craft four custom versions of the Life Detection Scan, one for each level of Mysticism. Here’s a table outlining the process:

| Level | Custom Spell Name |
|||
| 1 | Beginner Life Detection Scan |
| 2 | Intermediate Life Detection Scan |
| 3 | Advanced Life Detection Scan |
| 4 | Expert Life Detection Scan |

Mysticism Rank Spell Effect Magnitude Duration
Novice (0-25) Detect Life 100 8
Apprentice (25-50) Detect Life 100 21
Journeyman (50-75) Detect Life 100 51
Expert (75-100) Detect Life 100 120

For those new to Mysticism, consider swapping out the specific charm with a Minor Life-Detection charm for a similar effect.

If you’re at the Apprentice level in the practice of Mysticism, you might cast a “Detect Life” spell with a power level of 100 and a duration of 21 times, continuously until your Magicka runs out. After waiting an hour, you can do it again. Once you reach Journeyman (level 50 in Mysticism), you’d then create the next personalized spell based on the table and carry on repeating this process.

How Does Magic Skill Leveling Work in Oblivion Remastered

In the original game, Oblivion, your magic skill leveled up based on the number of times you cast spells. However, in Oblivion Remastered, the way magic skills are leveled has been changed. Now, it’s not about how many times you cast a spell, but rather how much Magicka you expend during casting. So, whether you cast a hundred low-cost spells or one high-cost spell, the experience gain for your magic skill will be the same.

As an avid player, I’ve found the best approach to enhancing my magical abilities in the Remastered edition involves crafting custom spells with the highest Magicka cost available. Keep casting that spell until my Magicka gauge is drained, then patiently wait an hour for it to refill again, and repeat!

How to Make Custom Spells in Oblivion Remastered

In the game Oblivion Remastered, custom spells can be crafted using an Alter of Spellmaking, a unique tool that appears at only two distinct locations within the game. These spots are where you’ll find the Altars of Spellmaking.

  • The Arcane University: Advance to the Apprentice Rank in the Mages Guild questline to gain access to the Arcane University services, including the Altars of Spellmaking in the Praxographical Center.
  • Frostcrag Spire: East of Bruma is a player home called Frostcrag Spire. One of the possible upgrades for the Frostcrag Spire is to activate a dormant Altar of Spellmaking by using a Magetallow Candles Box. Magetallow Candles Boxes can be bought from Aurelinwae in the Mystic Emporium in the Imperial City Market District.
