Daggerfall: Questions about Magic.

Post » Mon Sep 06, 2010 8:47 am

So. I got Dagger about a one or two weeks ago. I wanted to get myself into the Elder Scrolls Series, and decided this one is good to start on. It is REALLY fun. But I have a couple questions.


I have a Warrior and I want to cast Recall to help me navigate around dungeons faster.


Can any class be able to use magic? If not, should I start my character over to get a class with the ability to use magic? Also, what classes CAN use magic?

Do I have to have a certain INT/WIL skill marker to be able to use magic?

How do I get in the Mages Guild?

Where can I train magic if I don't have any magic spells to start with?

Would I need a specific skill to use Recall? (Like Destruction, or Magic books, idk)

Would anyone kindly like...explain the basic magic stuff in Daggerfall? lol


THanks again guys. I bought REcall in the Mages Guild, but it tells me that I don't have enough spell points. So yeah lol.

All classes can use magic, but most classes won't be very good at it. As a warrior class, you'll only have half your INT in spell points. To cast Recall you're going to need to raise your Mysticism skill and/or your INT.

To get into the Mages' Guild you'll need at least one of the six magic skills to be at 22%. The easiest way to do that is to buy a very cheap spell, like Buoyancy, from the MG and cast it a lot to train up one of your magic skills to 22% so you can join. Once you've joined you'll be able to create other cheap spells that will train your Mysticism skill. Otherwise, some of the other guilds that you may be able to join offer training in some of the magic skills so you could do it that way.
