AGE of Tamriel - Spells Preview (Destruction)
Today's post is another spell preview is the Destruction school of magic: << PDF Link >>
Out of all the schools of magic in AoT, Destruction has the largest list of spells. Most of the spells are elemental in nature, and many of them are just variations on base spell form (X Weapons, X Storm, Wall of X, etc). While that made it easier to write, it also made the school feel rather bland. So, I tried looking at the earlier Elder Scrolls games for ideas for non-elemental spells. From what I have read, most of the earlier spells also fell into that variation-on-a-spell trap. But I did add a few unique spells into the mix, so at least there is some variation within the school.

AGE of Tamriel - Spells Preview (Alteration and Conjuration)
Quick post about my AGE of Tamriel project.
It is coming along okay, if a bit slow. Spent most of the time writing out all the spells for each school of magic, as well as tidying up the specializations. I have also added some small rules for item durability and repairing items. Plus the usual minor edits here and there.
Anyway, here is a preview detailing the spells for magic schools of Alteration and Conjuration.
