Once they close the gap, a flurry of swings and deadly magic ensues to utterly annihilate any foe they come across.
During combat, Spellswords focus on closing the gap while they pelt deadly Destruction magic from a distance. Before a battle, Spellswords will typically apply a few buffs such as Ice Cloak or Oakflesh to give themselves an edge. In gameplay terms, Spellswords focus on using a one-handed weapon and a spell in their off-hand. Conjuration can also be used to summon allies or conjure ethereal Daedric weapons if your gear is lackluster. Destruction spells are excellent for dealing damage from a distance, Illusion spells make crowd control a breeze, and Alteration and Restoration improve your survivability.
This playstyle focuses more on using spells for utility rather than a sole means of dealing damage.
Spellswords are masters of blade and magic, charging into battle with durable armor and various magical buffs.
