    Nice one! My only suggestion is to consider Stormcloak Officer Helmet instead of Nordic Carved. Looks more fitting to the carving IMO

    It is kinda hard fighting the Potema's draugr as soon as possible. so how would we go about this? And I doubt necromancy would be the answer because you probably wouldn't be a necromancer trying to stop another necromancer and you wouldn't want to be somewhat evil before she "possesses" you.

    Other than that +1 from me.

    obviously it wouldn't happen at a super low level and i would assume you would need a follower to help. and summoning a familiar or atronach makes sense before she possesses you because that's still conjuration. i am going to start this build soon(ish) i will let you know how it goes.

    Cheers! and ooh that's a nice idea, I didn't think of the Stormcloak Officer Helm, but you're right it does fit- I'll put it in

    It can be quite difficult I agree, but as Adam said a follower and a familiar/atronach make it much easier, and the turn lesser undead apprentice restoration spell, which affects restless draugr too helps a lot. And impressive getting an ebony weapon so early, I was never so lucky!

    since i will be playing her as a pure mage would adding in alteration be good for mage armor? also anytime i come across a wolf queen book i am going to pick it up and store it in my house. i will be starting this build later today(when i get up lol) there is so much roleplay for her and this build in general which i really like!

    Hi Adam. Sorry I didn't reply to your initial comment, I somehow missed it.

    To your first one- yes a full mage would work fine, the armour is mainly for aesthetics not protection, and your summons should make sure you don't get hit too much. Playing without one-handed should also work- you save a few perks and should let you strengthen your other skills quicker. An enchanted dagger is a good idea; and finally you can buff minions with the spells courage, rally, and call to arms once you have the master of the mind perk, while dawnguard introduces heal undead spells in restoration which can be bought from the Volkihar.

    To your most recent comment- yes alteration would be good to add in for a little protection if you feel you're a bit squishy, and though your minions should be taking the majority of damage for you it can be difficult at early levels. Nice thinking picking up the wolf queen. And I'm glad you're going to play this, I would be interested to hear about it, so feel free to post it here or message me. Finally I too like the roleplaying aspect, Potema is an interesting character, I'm happy that you feel the same way.

    Nicely done! It's presented well and it's a solid concept plus I really love Potema and the wolf queen awakened. This build deserves much more recognition. +1
