    Weird... I just did that thinking it was some thrift-store work-around of the right way to do it.

    ShinJin shoots... he SCORES! xD

    Started playing thsi today, and its fun, i am level two, and just found the spell tome fury on a mages corpse. really lucky

    Im roleplaying as a kind, but sarcastic old man who doesnt want people to know he is a mage, so he won't buy spells or join the college. He would help kids, but im going to attempt to never enter a walled city. I will go to places like falkreath though.

    I'm always happy when I see someone else who's read this and decided to play it too. This might be one of my favorite Raid builds :D

    That said, I really like your take on it... looks like a fun way to approach the build.

    Aww, it's always sad when doggie dies. I enjoy this build too. Something about taking matters into your own hands that I find very appealing. You could always grab Barbas the immortal doggie.

    Level 17 so far, lots of fun! I am in the soul cairn getting the summons in there, and have ice spike as my main destruction spell.

    If you have Ice Spike as main destruction skill there are many Nord enemies with resist frost in Skyrim and also all undead have a 50% resistance to it. One thing you can do is mix some alchemy in the build and use fortify destruction potions or try to find a firebolt  spell tome here:

    1) A Firebolt Spell Tome may be found in the room housing the Occulory in Mzulft if the Dragonborn is no lower than level 18.

    2) The Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon has this spell tome on a shelf straight ahead near the entrance.

    I like the concept but I have a question.  What is the purpose of the no staves rule?  If you are just using magic you pick up this seems ot qualify as there is no way ro recharge unless you find soul trap or a filled soul gem or something.  If yo uare not buying magical stuuf that would include soul gems.  It seems that you coudl create a mage that uses what he finds including staves.  

    Another question could this not also be used from a roleplay perspective with a young novice type mage who simply wants to learn things on his own?

    Otherwise love this build.
