    Playstyle: As a blink mage, you will sneak around casting frenzy to make your enemies fight eachother and use bound weapons to finish off the last one in the group. If, somehow, frenzy is not working you will use calm to make everyone stop combat, then run away and come back, re-casting frenzy, using bound weapons as your last resort.

    Backstory: Born in High Rock, your parents both died  fighting in a battle when bandits attacked your village just 3 years after your birth. An old man by the name of Oleh took you in and took care of you up until the age of 13. When you turned 13 Oleh passed away from old age, and no one else would take you in. You had to beg until you were 16, at this age you could get a job as the host of a magic show. Using your Illusionary talents to impress others and make money you, after 3 years of doing this, made quite a bit of coin and decided to stop begging, move out of your shack and start trying to hunt down the bandits who had killed your parents. You finally find them after several months of bribing for information, exploring, and getting proficient with a sword. You discover that you have more magic in you than just magic tricks, as you cast a spell to make the outlaws fight each other. You start to enjoy watching the crooks slay their own friends. After the battle the last bandit lay there in tears staring at you. "This is what you deserve, scoundrel!" You call out walking up to him with your sword drawn... You can guess what happens next, so, TIME SKIP! You have been a hired "SpellSword" since you have killed those bandits. You are 21 now. You decide you think you have rid High Rock of most of the evil. You decide to travel to Skyrim, and, of course are caught at the border. You don't care much about the dragon crisis and all you want to do is Slay Bandits. You do just that and what happens from there is up to you!

    Quest lines:

    Civil War: Stormcloak side

    Main quest line.

    Bounty missions at the nine holds.

    Dark Brotherhood: Kill Cicero.

    To level conjuration fast get soul trap and cast it on any dead body of anything, when you run out of magicka wait an hour then cast soul trap over and over... Repeat process then in 1 hour max you have 100 conjuration. To level illusion fast cast muffle over and over again til you have desired skill level.
