If I could make Bobette follow me around and fight things, I would be so fucking stoked. She's the best character in the game.

with destruction maxed and a little enchanting it's hilariously easy to make all your spells free. (50% through perks, 30% through 100 destruction, 20% easily on gear)
i can't remember the time an opponent actually managed to hit me. even dragons die being staggered to death by constant dualcasting thunderbolt spam.
magic has a major flaw though. it's scaling horribly. while archery and melee weapons all get a damage increase from perks, enchanting, smithing and the skill level, magic only gets cost reductions. with ~ level20 i actually reached my damage cap -.-

The problem with that is when magic spells start costing more than you have a pool for. Namely most of the Master level stuff... but most of that is fairly suck anyways. The lightning one is pretty decent though.

Sheath your weapon/hands and they will stop attacking you immediately.

that's actually the problem by not being a problem. by having -100% cost reduction you literary cast any spell for free, no matter how much the spell initially cost. i don't even have enough magicka to conjure a flame astronach (132 magicka), but can cast my master destruction spells (fire: 1257/cast - shock: 122/s original casting cost) all day long.

It's not really counter-intuitive if you actually think just a bit more than "I'm a mage, so magicka is most important." A mage doesn't have much armor, so in the case that you do get hit, you're going to need high health. On the other hand, what you do wear is clothing with lots of bonuses to make your spells more effective. It follows that you don't need magicka as much as health.

i'm wearing heavy armor near the armor cap...
the point is that there is no need for magicka whatsoever - that's a "slight" difference from being "not the most important" - so if a full destruction mage has no need for magicka, why the heck is the stat in the game at all?
