i would love shapeshifting but would prefer a more stricter form of it ie only one form can be learned and used at a time. this would be done through imprinting on a creature, monster, or person. i think it would be clasified as alteration because you are altering your physical being to become something different. after learning the imprint spell you will have to imprint on something before you can tern into it. the time it takes to imprint will be determined by your alteration skill the higher the skill the faster imprinting becomes at low levels it could take up to 10 seconds, at mastered it could take 1-2 seconds.
of course there would be a few rules to imprinting.
1. the target being imprinted MUST be alive.
2. you must be within 10 feet of target and looking at throughout the entire imprinting process.
3. you can only take minimal damage while imprinting or the process is interrupted.
4. after imprinting the target does not need to be alive to turn into it so you may kill it.
after imprinting you can turn into the the target indefinably for as long as you want, BUT if health reaches below 25% you will turn back, if you are a person other people that knew that person may detect you are not them. this could be done through conversations. like you are infiltrating a bandit camp and you imprint bandit chuck and then kill him and you run into his brother bandit bob. he will talk to you and start a conversation. if you answer wrong to several things he may become suspicious and ask a personal history question that may be a trick like "remember that time mom made us that pie and you stole it from the window seal and ate it all?" you would then be given several answers to give him like yes, it was you that ate it all, our mom died when i was 2 what are you talking about?. if you pick right he'll shrug it off and walk on, if you answer wrong he'll know something is up and will likely raise the alarm.
i would also like to see telekinesis like in bioshock or dark messiah where i can bring objects to me and fling them to cause damage
short range teleportation.
mind control where you can take control of those with weaker minds than you (can only be done to humanoids)
astroprojection where your spirit leaves your body for a short amount of time. this could be done to the same effect of going into console and typing TFC. but it will be a spell in (my guess would be) alteration that allows you to travel without your body for a time based on your skill in alteration. low lvls would be like 15 seconds while master could be 60-90 seconds. you can stay out of your body longer than the time limit but you start to die. you cant pass through solid walls but you can pass through doord, bars, gates and windows. you cannot attack or activate anything. the only activation you can preform is "awaken" which will instantly send you back to your body. while in this form you are absolutely vulnerable!!!! if you are atacked you will see your health start to drop and will have to awaken to defend your self.
i would also like to see perm bound summons. it should take master lvl conjuration and alot of magicka and time to preform. but in the end you will gain a companion summon that is slightly stronger and hardier than the normal summon of its self.
