How does the Magicka (mana) bank work in Skyrim?

Post » Mon Sep 26, 2011 5:27 pm

This question has probably been answered before, sorry if this has already been asked and addressed.

So we now know the Altmer racial bonus: HIGH ELF: regenerate Magicka more quickly

This is a change from Oblivion, which, if you remember correctly, granted a +100 magicka bonus. In addition to his, there are perks in each magic tree that allow for lower amounts of Magicka to cast a spell within that selected school. This has me thinking: Where and when exactly do we alter the size of our available Magicka? Is magic proficiency now only a result of magic regeneration and amount of magic needed for spell, not the size of your magicka bank?

So, if High Elves are not given a magicka bonus to begin with, and intelligence level no longer factors in, what dictates the size of your magicka bank? How do you increase it?

Any info would be appreciated.

Well we know for sure that you can put points into Magicka, Health or Stamina when you level.

Thanks for the info, man.

Do we know if this is always a constant amount, or does the allowed increase change based on certain factors. Like, if you increased 10 magic skills, would you be allowed to make a greater increase than if you increased only 3?
