  Ha, when I tried it out I had to do it the legit way. I couldn't glitch through the first door, so I had to speedrun the College. Managed to finish around level 8, then just fasted soul trap on a dead body for a while until I levelled up. A shame the glitch didn't work, I thought I'd get a second opinion just to be sure. Though it would probably be the most useless glitch ever, as you'd have practically no health and could have pretty much the same effect by using the Magicka method anyway.

  I find barred doors a pain with the bucket method. It's far easier to crouch down and hammer the activate button while moving just in and out of range of the door until the bar raises (aiming roughly at where the bar is). I've had to get equilibrium a few times recently and am getting pretty quick now!

  Hi Guys Just a little food for your thoughts, remember you all are working with a bug that's not supposed to work at all, the main reason I think your results are so inconsistent, there is much still to learn about this I agree, but if the starting stats are flawed, how on earth do you come up with an irrefutable conclusion? I wish you the best of luck and well done

  The glitch doesn't work unless you have base Magicka.

  Hey All,

  I've been play testing my build and ran across an occurrence of unlimited concentration casting. The character is a stage 4 Necromage vampire. During the daylight hours he will intermittently gain the ability to cast concentration spells such as Telekinesis, human form Vampiric Grip, Lesser Ward, and Vampire Drain.

  The build uses a version of the Advanced Apprentice stone to gain high Magicka regen, but keeps the Magicka at 100. These are the current stats during the day:

  Magicka: 25

  Magicka Regen Rate: 3.00

  Magicka Rate Multiplier: 6137.50

  Just a quick question. Are they the only numbers that would work. For instance if I used Miraak's Mask (for that rad look) at level 45 would it be possible to accomplish Unlimited Casting.

  You will need a different combination of potions, but it should be possible. I think you will need to use an Elixir of the Healer if you only use purchased potions (it is technically possible to do it with custom potions too, but that gets a lot messier IMO).

  A few combos that should work:

  • Elixir --> Draught --> Potion --> 77.4 Fortify Magicka (up from 60)
  • Philter --> Elixir --> Potion --> 80.4 Fortify Magicka (up from 60)
  • Potion --> Elixir --> Philter --> 98.4 Fortify Magicka (up from 60)
  • Potion --> Philter --> Elixir --> 104.4 Fortify Magicka (up from 60)

  PS If you combine Miraak's mask with Vampire Royal Armor and use it in an infinite concentration casting build, it'll be an instant like for me.

  Oooh damn. That'd look cool. I'll test them out ASAP thanks Teccam.

  It's worth noting that not every +magicka item you wear has to be involved in the concentration casting glitch. As discussed earlier in the comments as long as your magicka has the right value after the decimal point and stays within certain ranges overall you can concentration cast. So, it's possible to create a fairly competent mage who can concentration cast by the following. Drink potions, equip the +magicka gear to enable concentration casting, wait for potions to wear off, then equip as much other +magicka gear as you can while still staying in the range. Therefore you can pretty much wear what you like, *cough* ring of the erudite *cough*.

  Will being a vampire break this effect because of the weakness to sunlight draining your magicka.
