I wonder how many different graphical effect Skyrim has for spells...

We have only seen a light spell effect (from staff), Fire spell (flamethrower like and fire ball(?)), Lighting (normal lightning ball and combined lightning as well trap spell..))
Could skyrim shield spells have some kind of visual effect in them? It was kind of stupid that they were just a normal buff, no shield around the player or anything..
For example Frost Shield could have little snowflakes surrounding the shield and Lighning Shield could have lighting surrounding the player..

Tell your thoughts what the new spell effects are.

And sorry if my english svcks..

Like in Morrowind? That would be cool for that to come back imo

Since I saw the new spell system I thought it would be awesome if the shield spell was used to actively deflect attacks instead of being an armor buff like before. As far as the graphics for something like that a rippling force field kind of thing would be appropriate, mehthinks.

That would be nice.. and when a spell hits the shield, it (fire shield for example) would blaze aflame for a second or two..

They are apparently doing something like that with Skyrim. I'm sure it was mentioned before that shield spells had much shorter durations but protected you more so you had to time when to use them... don't take my word for this though because I can't remember where I heard it, may be wrong.
