...Forbidden weaponry: Everything (he can still punch, though, even though it's technically forbidden). 3x Int Magery. I fought and ran my way through the first dungeon. Even rats and bats had a significant chance of saving versus my spells, but that was fine, I was only first level. And I managed to killl a couple humanoids, so go me.

Took the hints on UESP, made a cheap training damage spell, bought time in an inn, raised my Destruction to 90+, then decided to do a quest for the mages' guild. Save-loaded till I got one I could fullfill in town, because I had a bunch of letters in my pocket and I wanted to "start" the main quest, even though I'd wait a while before actually starting the main quest. Just didn't want to miss out on the deadline.

Well, things were different at 5th level and 90+ Destruction, alright.

Now *everyone* saves versus my spells.

Every time I try to play a non-weapon mage in Daggerfall, I end up hating playing that way. And I love Daggerfall. So...

...How do I shot magic?

Ok, seriously, how do I actually do damage? Instead of having all/most enemies save versus my spells?
