How many different ways are there to play with just magic?
Can you give us an example of one way of playing?
You can use alchemy and speechcraft for example, but no weapons or shields that does not emerge out of the magical result of tying your hand with magical colors.
In my opinion, there are multiple ways to play with just magic.
You can conjure a sword and use a magic ward spell for example.
But what's interesting is to get the details from you, examples with details. Details, yes. Magic!
