    In this video there are a couple of things the developers toyed with, one of these was the idea of spell combinations. In the video there are shown two combinations:

    • Flames + Raise Undead = Conjure Flame Atronach
    • Fear + Healing = Drain Health

    If you could make your own spell combinations what would they be? Feel free to include shout/spell combinations as well.

    (Completely Crazy Idea) Cyclone + Dual Cast Flames/Frostbite = Fire Storm/Blizzard

    I like the idea of spell combinations that create another spell. It could open up the (I guess) possibility to cast higher level spells at lower levels.

    Cool topic to discuss! I might have a few that could be fun:

    1. Ice Storm + Lighting spell = Lightning does area of effect damage as well since the ice/water could conduct it. Same could work with blizzard.

    2. Fear + Frenzy = Some sort of frenzy spell that also weakened enemies attack rating and defenses.

    3. Paralyze + Wall of Frost = Wall of Frostbite, causing enemies to freeze completely if they run into it.

    Some kind of powerful paralyze effect I'm guessing with some damage as well?

    From some site (can't remember):

    Whirlwind Sprint + Flames = Wall of Flames behind you

    Call Storm + Frostbite = Raining Ice Spikes

    That certainly would make followers fun to use as a mage character.

    How about if you could make any spell that would normally only effect you effect a companion instead if you use the Healing Hands spell?

    Like:

    Healing Hands + Flame Cloak = Companion's  Flame Cloak

    That's right, you need her later for your crazy fish games.

    To get back on Nik's topic and away from Bryn's messed up and frankly disturbing love life, It's surprising how many things on that video have been implemented in all the dlcs:

    Epic mounts, magic and archery kill cams, Kinnect voice commands, build your own houses (sadly no skeleton butler) vampire and werewolf perk trees and what else?

    it's not that out of the question that spell combos could be in a future dlc.

    Oh, what's wrong with Lydia? My canon dragonborn is a nord named Aurian, the guy in that picture was an imperial (I refuse to play an imperial)
