Foreword: Continuing on with my theme of Dragon Age Builds, I have decided to explore the classes of the Blood Mage, Force Mage with a sprinkling of the Entropy school as seen in Dragon Age 2.
The word "Sunder" means to rend, rip, sever, divide; Basically, to tear something to pieces in a very violent manner that is not necessarily limited to the physical sense. And that is exactly what this build excels at. If rending your foes apart body and soul, effortlessly tossing them around the battlefield, and opening up gravatic maelstroms to group them all together for devastating combos all without ever drawing a weapon sounds like your cup of tea then read on as I present to you... The Sunder Mage.
Appologies:
I have hit a few rough patches recently and due to several difficult events and family commitments I have had to put the story on hold for the time being. Rest assured I'll get it done as soon as I can, and will have it added into this section of the build. You can expect a thrilling and engaging story which will delve into Imperial politics, The Cyrodiilic Vampyrum Orders heriachy, lots of deceit seduction and manipulation and all the other bells and whistles you might expect from the dark temptress this build revolves around.
There is still much to enjoy within and I appreciate your patience. I've worked painstakingly hard at the concept around this character and it was hard to come to the decision of postponing the story. I however wanted to give you something spooky to look at this Halloween, and The Sunder Mage fitted the bill perfectly. So, sit back relax grab some whiskey, wine or a soda and enjoy the ride dear reader.

Special Magical Effects, Spells, Powers and Perks:
Knowledge is Power - This is a unique spell in that it allows any spell to be stored as a once a day power. For Ceryse this means she is able to "make a pact" to gain high level summons to use as fodder once a day.With the use of this power no time training Conjuration is needed. Both the Wrathman and Dremora Lord spell tomes can be acquired whilst in the Soul Cairn.
Spell Twine - Spell Twine allows Ceryse to link certain effects to her spells when she casts them. Blood Boil should be linked with; Crystal: Magic Resist + 15% for 10 seconds. This will help mitigate the self inflicted damage that this spell incurrs. Equilibrium should be linked with; Rock: Weapon Damage taken - 15% for 5 seconds. This allows for safer casting reducing the chance of being felled by a stray arrow when Ceryse is low on health. Empathic Agony should be linked with Flow: Spells are 20% cheaper for 5 seconds. This makes any spells cast imediately after Empathic Agony such as Blood Boil to be cheaper to use.
O
catos Recital - An extremely useful spell that allows 3 self cast spells to be linked and trigger when combat initates. Whirlwind Cloak, Ebonyflesh and Resurgence should all be selected as spells of choice. Being under the effect of a flesh spell not only will trigger Mage Armor but also any effects chosen from Welloc's Dormant Arcana and the Distorted Shape perk. Whirlwind Cloak will ensure enemies are kept at bay by routinely sending them reeling. Resurgence will trigger whenever Ceryse's health drops below 50% while it is active. When it triggers it will provide a surge of healing for the remainder of it's duration. Ceryse's fervent use of Equilibrium, Blood Boil and Blood Revel ensures that this effect triggers offten.
Wellcoc's Dormant Arcana - With Welloc's Dormant Arcana linked to a Flesh Spell, Ceryse gains a significant buff to her Restoration and Destuction magic power (+10 %) and to her magicka pool (+ 50) whenever she is effected by said spell.
Wild Shrines - There are several Wild Shrines scattered around Skyrim. Each provides Ceryse a particular buff to a school of magic. Alteration + 30% duration, Destruction + 15% Magnitude, Illusion + 15% Magnitude, Restoration + 15% Magnitude and Conjuration +30% Duration.
Spirit Tutors - Two Spirit Tutors roam Skyrim. When found they will each confer one blessing that will increaase the power of Ceryse's Restoration spells by 1% per 20 points of base magicka.
Arcane Thesis - Obtaining this perk will allow Ceryse to push the power of her Blood Boil Spell even further. Obtaining a 20 % outgoing damage boost.
Alter Self Attribute/Resistances - Ceryse is able to alter her biolgy through her understanding of Blood Magic. This will allow her to gain a 25% Boost to both Fire and Shock Resistance as well as a permenant 50 point boost to health.
Wheel of Life - A useful abillity that allows Ceryse to be healed once every 30 seconds as long as she has not used a healing spell within those 30 seconds. Now this spell has saved my life a fair few times but it has one significant drawback you should be aware of before perking it. It very Ironicaly clasess Equilibrium as a healing spell. Which means if Ceryse has used Equilibrium in the last 30 seconds she will not be getting healed.
Ethereal Spirit - Meditating on Feim (Become Ethereal) with Paarthurnax grants Ceryse a 25% bonus in health regeneration. The regeneration becomes particularly potent when coupled with her Fortify Health Regeneration enchantments, making it a very good option to use when she is running low on both health and magicka.
The Human Spirit - This is arguably one of the most essential passives in this build. At levels 10, 20 and 30 Ceryse is able to select several game changing buffs. At level 10 you should choose +100 Health and - 50 Stamina. At level 20 you should choose + 50% Fire Resist and - 25% Poison Resist. At level 30 - You should choose the following, Mage Skills: Restoration + 20 Conjuration - 20, Warrior skills are Irrelevent, Thief Skills: Speech + 20 Light Armor - 20.
