If I can ever get it to work properly, I will.  I just can't get it to feel right, because the way Skyrim works doesn't lend itself to Sorceress builds.  I've got up to level 33 with the latest effort, and I'm going to experiment with the Marked for Death solution to see if that solves some of the problems that I've been experiencing.

I too used Restoration for nothing more than Fast Healing and Close Wounds for too long.  It's a much more interesting school than that though, as you've aptly demonstrated with this build.  My intent is to maximise Restoration for Guardian Circle as well, just because I want the satisfaction of doing the College Restoration Master quest .

This is inspired, ShinJin and Lozhar, very unique. I really like that you have chosen a really obscure but well written text rather than go for a well known character for power play. In fact, it's creativity like this that made me love this site in the first place.

Did you lose Golldir during your playthrough at any stage and was it quite distressing? I remember completing the Book of Love recently and watching the two ghostly lovers rise into the sky just as the sun was setting over the hills to the west of Gjukar's Monument. It was such a beautiful moment that it made me stop for a minute. Somehow, this build has captured that same spirit.

Job well done guys.

Thanks, Phil... that's a wonderful compliment!

Lozhar and I had a conversation about the possibility of Golldir dying. One of the scenarios he came up with is finding a different follower who becomes the new Gerthland (his body is forced into the body of said new follower who has recently died). That works, or you could continue playing alone and on a renewed quest to find Gerthland again.

I took a different approach... I reloaded (MY FOLOWERS DON'T DIE--EVER (unless I killed them on purpose)) xD

I get too attached. I lost Golldir twice: both times when I was messing around with the Fire Storm spell... which is why Fire Storm never made its way into the write-up.

Oh my gosh! The reunion moment at the end of the Book of Love quest happened just at sunset for me as well... It really is beautiful and makes up for how ridiculous that part of the quest is (run over here... talk... run over there... talk... run back over here... ah yes, this mundane experience has just now become worth it) :D

I'm sorry. I just assumed you'd be bored of hearing it so often! ;D
