Stealth AND magic? : V - Skyrim

hmmm it would be awesome if you could get a re-usable magic item that drains all light from the room kinda like dumbeldoor in the first harry potter movie ( not that im a fan of harry potter )
it would make for some awesome uses such as walking into a room killing the lights and using detect life to sneak kill people and then turn the lights back on like nothing happened .
it would be even more awesome if you could get such an item from the dark brother hood or the skyrim equivalent

Brilliant idea if you ask me!

A confusion area of effect spell would be perfect for when you're discovered.

Just blast it at the floor near your enemies to blind and deafen them (resulting in them swinging their weapon wildly, possibly killing nearby allies) like a flashbang grenade while you escape or take a few shots with your bow

That would be really cool. :whoops:

It's been done in deadspace.

And in Half-Life with the Gravity Gun.

illusion magic is a very good combination with stealth characters, and offers many advantages such as charm, calm, invisibility, poison, and more. Alteration can offer a few good spells as well as mysticism(though its not around anymore its spells are still useful). I will definetly be using illusion as a primary focus of my character, along with blade and sneak

Nightblades have been around since Arena, haven't they?

What I was thinking.

I know it's been done before in a game. But I mean I doubt it's been done in Skyrim.

I mix the two all the time. I'm playing this character in Oblivion right now:

Altmer, Thief Birthsign, Major skills: Destruction, Conjuration, Illusion, Restoration, Marksman, Security, Sneak
