The Best Custom Mysticism Spells in Oblivion Remastered

1. Ultimate Dispel Spell

• Effects: Dispel 100 points on Self or Target
• Purpose: Wipes out annoying magical effects like Silence, Paralyze, or Damage Attribute in one shot.
• Why It’s Great:
  • Saves your bacon against enemy mages or debuffs like Burden or Damage Strength.
  • At 100 points, it clears most bad effects instantly.
  • Cheap to cast (especially with high Mysticism skill), so you can use it a ton.
• Customization Tips:
  • Toss in a small area effect (like 5 ft) to clear debuffs from allies or summons in group fights.
  • Mix with Restore Health (Restoration) for a spell that cleanses and heals at once.
• Example: "Purge" – Dispel 100 pts on Self, ~10 magicka cost (with high Mysticism).

2. Spell Absorption Tank

• Effects: Spell Absorption 50-75 points for 10-15 seconds on Self
• Purpose: Sucks up enemy spells to refill your magicka while blocking their damage.
• Why It’s Great:
  • Makes enemy mages your personal magicka refill, especially in tough late-game dungeons.
  • Pairs well with big magicka pools or the Atronach birthsign for near-endless casting.
  • Combine with gear like the Mundane Ring or Necromancer’s Amulet to become nearly untouchable.
• Customization Tips:
  • Keep the duration short (10-15 sec) to save magicka.
  • Add a bit of Reflect Spell (10-20 points) for extra protection against spells that don’t get absorbed.
• Example: "Mage Shield" – Spell Absorption 75 pts for 12 sec, ~50 magicka cost.

3. Reflect Spell Assassin

• Effects: Reflect Spell 30-50 points for 10 seconds on Self
• Purpose: Throws enemy spells back at them, letting their own magic wreck them.
• Why It’s Great:
  • Crushes high-level mages like Liches or Xivilai who sling powerful spells.
  • Cheaper than Spell Absorption, so it’s easier for non-mage characters.
  • Works great for stealth or melee builds to punish spellcasters without needing much magic.
• Customization Tips:
  • Use a short duration (8-10 sec) to keep costs low for spamming in fights.
  • Add Fortify Speed (Alteration) for a spell that helps you close in while reflecting.
• Example: "Mirror Strike" – Reflect Spell 40 pts for 10 sec, ~30 magicka cost.

4. Soul Trap Spam

• Effects: Soul Trap for 2 seconds on Target, 5 ft Area
• Purpose: Grabs souls from multiple enemies to fuel enchanting or recharge weapons.
• Why It’s Great:
  • Short duration (1-2 sec) makes it super cheap, so you can cast it over and over.
  • Area effect lets you snag souls from groups like goblins or skeletons.
  • Must-have for keeping enchanted gear powered or farming soul gems for cash.
• Customization Tips:
  • Pair with Damage Health (Destruction) for a spell that kills and traps in one go.
  • Use on Touch to save magicka if you’re swinging a sword.
• Example: "Reaper’s Mark" – Soul Trap 2 sec in 5 ft Area on Target, ~10 magicka cost.

5. Telekinesis Utility

• Effects: Telekinesis 30-50 ft for 5-10 seconds on Target

• Why It’s Great:
  • Lets you grab items or bypass traps in risky spots like Ayleid ruins.
  • Fun for trolling enemies by shifting objects or setting off traps.
  • Low magicka cost means even non-mages can use it.
• Customization Tips:
  • Boost range to 50 ft for exploring or dungeon puzzles.
  • Add Fortify Sneak (Illusion) for a spell that helps with sneaky theft or trap-disarming.
• Example: "Phantom Hand" – Telekinesis 40 ft for 8 sec, ~15 magicka cost.

6. Hybrid Crowd Control Dispel

• Effects: Dispel 50 pts in 10 ft Area on Target + Soul Trap 2 sec in 10 ft Area
• Purpose: Strips enemy buffs (like summons or shields) and grabs souls in group fights.
• Why It’s Great:
  • Wrecks summoners by banishing their minions in one cast.
  • Area effect hits multiple enemies, perfect for crowded dungeons.
  • Soul Trap adds enchanting utility without needing another spell.
• Customization Tips:
  • Toss in Weakness to Magicka (Destruction) to make your next spells hit harder.
  • Keep Dispel at 50 pts to save magicka for frequent casts.
• Example: "Void Sweep" – Dispel 50 pts + Soul Trap 2 sec in 10 ft Area, ~40 magicka cost.

Tips for Creating Custom Mysticism Spells

• Level Up Mysticism: Higher Mysticism skill cuts spell costs a ton. Train with NPCs or spam cheap spells like Detect Life to grind it.
• Spellmaking Altar: You’ll need the altar at the Arcane University (do Mages Guild quests) or Frostcrag Spire (from the Wizard’s Tower DLC).
• Save Magicka: Short durations (1-10 sec) and medium strength (30-75 pts) keep spells cheap for constant use.
• Gear Synergy: Items like the Necromancer’s Amulet, Mundane Ring, or Spell Absorption-enchanted gear make Mysticism spells even better.
• Mix Schools: Blend Mysticism with Destruction, Restoration, or Illusion for spells that handle multiple jobs (like Dispel + Restore Health).

• Spell Stacking: Reflect Spell and Spell Absorption don’t work perfectly together; pick one based on your character (Absorption for mages, Reflect for fighters).
• Enemy Scaling: Late-game enemies like Liches or Gloom Wraiths cast stronger spells, so Reflect and Absorption shine more as you level up.
• DLC Perks: Frostcrag Spire’s altar is handy for quick spellmaking, and its magicka boosts help with casting.
