I miss the sweet spells that I used to create in Oblivion. Being able to create one spell that had multiple effects was my favorite part of Oblivion. You could make so many combinations that were so use full. (Examples) A shield/regen combo. A fireball/slow burn combo. High Damage area effects. Damage over time area effects. A paralize timed damage combo. These are basic combo's but the combinations were endless. You controlled the strength and duration and the effects of those spells. Changes allways come out in sequels (see mass effect) sometimes for the better and sometims for the worse. I feel that the only change in Skyrim that is for the worse is the lack of the spell creation. The rest of the differences are just that, differences. This is a great game, I just miss my Paralizing Fireball of Slowburn.
