    Full nightingale armor would work just fine for this, and the additional boost to Illusion is a nice incentive for anyone interested in using that school. If you haven't used Illusion before, hang on to your hat... it's a game-changer. Getting people to kill each other for you, and calming them down when they try to kill you is so powerful it's almost unfair.

    As to Illusion perks: if you want to get the full feel for what this school does, I'd perk everything. If, however, you don't have the perks or are afraid of becoming OP, I'd go with Dual Casting and the two branches to the far left... Dual Casting should make up for the buffs you'd get out of the branch on the far right. You may want to adjust your stats to give you a bit more magicka, though--since you aren't perking Block, I'd probably roll with 1 Health and 2 Magicka  ;D

    Personally, I find being a vampire kind of a hassle, but to be fair, I don't use any of the DLC's that really make it interesting. You could try it for a bit, and if you don't like it you can always find a cure ;D

    Alright ShinJin. Thank you for your help. Do you have any other builds like this anywhere? I can't wait to see more of your builds.

    How well would this build work if I swapped the Bound Bow for the Nightingale Bow and the Bound Sword for the Nightingale Sword? But only in extreme battles. Or where I have little to no magicka.

    They'd work very well... those are both excellent weapons :D

    Lozhar and I only went with bound weapons because they fit the build's roleplay, are strong in the early game, have no weight to bog you down, and offer a bit of a challenge in the late game. Nightingale weapons would certainly make for a great back-up (and they look super-cool ;D)

    It's absolutely CRAZY that you should mention that; I just finished reading Good Omens a couple weeks ago! Everytime Anathema Device popped into the story I kept flashing back to this build. As much as I enjoyed playing this, I think Pratchett and Gaiman's Anathema is more intriguing. Wonder if she'd translate well as a Skyrim build? ;D
