I agree it’d make a massive difference in our world but uh, the biggest? Conjuration lorewise could cause some pretty ridiculous changes. Alteration and mysticism would likely be used in very clever ways to basically break our reality. Restoration would be huge but it would just be like a super good medical community. Alteration mysticism and Conjuration have no real-world corollaries and could break our civilizations.
It's such a paradox though. Nords don't trust mages or magic at all, yet they respect Restoration. On the other hand mages don't consider Restoration as a "perfect valid school of magic".
just imagine you are in a sword fight with a man and you are both close to death and he just raises his right hand and fully recovers himself and then stabs you rendering your entire effort pointless
@@dogf421 I've never had a single character in Skyrim who hasn't bothered to utilize at least the minor healing spell you get at the start. It's way cheaper than using a health potion once the fighting's over. the only reason I could ever see for not using at least a little restoration is if you're role playing a character who refuses to use magic in any form.
Restoration is a useful skill to dip in to, but it's not worth dumping a bunch of skill points in unless you're using a perk overhaul, or you're roleplaying some kind of Vigilant-build.
Warrior I assume, it’s normal. But even I a pure caster find it very useful. For example, when going in tombs you often get surrounded by quite a lot of draugr or skeletons. Spells like bane the undead or circle of protection are extremely useful tools.
A warrior who is able to use restoration magic to heal his wounds while still fighting is not to be trifled with, even by the strongest mages or warriors. Even gods should fear a well versed and well trained one.
That quote "Restoration is a perfectly valid school for magic" gets even better after you've played Morrowind. That's because Mages Guild there doesn't even have Restoration in its favored skills - Temple and Imperial Cult do.
I remember once going to Falkreath, and all guards were at the gate, giving me the "Skyrim could use more healers" talk. Idk, but it made me feel good.
i feel that it's better that way to be honest. if magic was that powerful in the games you'd get a broken exploitable mess like morrowind, which, while extremely fun at times, really throws a wrench in any form of good story telling, when you just leap halway across the map or levitate out of range of any opponent to your destination, onyl to instantly win any fight with a destruction spell that does 100 damage per second for ten sedconds, while wearing enchanted robes that restore health faster than any opponent can damage it.
I think the same could be said for melee fighters and rangers as well, the lore talks about great warriors capable of cleaving through multiple enemies at once, or surviving blows from an entire army, but that kind of stuff is isn't possible. I think the problem is that the power ceiling in the tes games is too low.
Im playing a unique(i believe its unique anyway) nightblade build i came up with. Heavy armor with a hood. Sword and dagger,bow and arrows. Uses illusion,restoration,and destruction magic. And doesnt put any points into sneak and instead uses illusion magic to get behind enemies.
Hey FudgeMuppet! (I don't comment on TH-cam videos much) But ss an Aussie Skyrim player, this may be the best video that you have ver done. Restoration is a fantastic school (I stand with Colette on this). But the way you did this video, the music that flows with it and Drew narrating it is just awesome to watch. Keep it up! #Aussie.
LittleTryHard thank you for saying “of magic” and not “for magic”. I’ve seen that error so many times in this comment section and as anal as it is, I cringe every time.
@Völkisch Warrior because even though you have about 1000 hp, you will still need to heal sometimes, obviously. Unless you're one of those people who play on adept
Restoration wouldn't be underrate if it still included the ability to take the enemy's health and add it to one's own like during the oblivion crisis, or the ability to cure diseases, poisons, restore attributes, fortify attributes and such. You used to be able to fortify your weapon skills and use them to land a devastating blow on the enemy.
@Zach Kabia It most certainly shouldn't be a destruction spell. And vampire drain spells are super weak. It is correct in the Restoration school. Maybe in the Mysticism school if it still existed.
Lich: “I heard you were some sort of hot shit healer.” Mage: “I do okay.” Lich: “And what does a healer do?” Mage: “Same thing as you, with one difference.” Lich: “What is that?” Mage: “When I heal to extend my life indefinitely I don’t become a damned abomination.”
I was thinking of things like how in skyrim using the perk to restore stamina could be a great boon for warriors, (or directly in other games) and wondered if it restores or lets magic fill in the gaps to create the flesh lost in injury or make it rapidly repair? then I thought something horrid, remembering the corpus curse disease of morrowind, what if you can corrupt the flesh through restoration? force someone to a state of disfigurement and agony by exceeding where the healing or creation should stop, a magical forced cancer?
Weren't there some speculation that face sculpturing and "flesh magic" could be related to restoration? That would include body restructuring and forced scarification, though it might be aided by destruction.
There is a mod for it! It is disease/plague magic found in restoration. Apocalypse spells or something. It argues the same thing you said about spells having opposite effects as well.
"Underrated magic school." *Literally everyone's been using it.* There's a focus on destruction because archmage Todd of Howardfell fancies explosions.
@@duncanharrell5009 Bethesda could learn a lot from Elden Ring's variety in magic.

Ordinator absolutely crushes the Restoration school. They nailed the balance that no one likes to think about, that the people that heal us can easily kill us. A paladin build is not only readily accomplished, but it’s terrifyingly powerful.
I have to agree, I seem to never get it even to level 20 even when I make a 100% mage build I think restoration is one of the only spells I always seem to level up at least a bit no matter which kind of build I make. If anything it's probably one of the most used spell classes.
This video just makes me want to make a fullblown healer character, then have my follower become an unstoppable engine of destruction as I stand safely behind them and POWER HEAL THEM!
Cause of that broken perk that makes vampires even more overpowered? Cause without mods it is the only reason why I would consider leveling that useless skill up.
@@FerunaLutelou nah, i play with Ordinator, it's undead healer perk (forgot name) is mostly balanced. I just don't like casting magic in general and in skyrim especially -since it's totally retarded and broken- but restoration is always absolute must have. and, of course, enchantment for that sweet 0% magica coast
Necro-mage perk Magic is indeed bullshit, but restoration is almost useless, even with mods. Alchemy is much better. Why waste an enchantment slot on your equipment to make restoration free to use when you can use it for something really useful.
@@FerunaLutelou I think restoration is basically needed as a melee character if you don't have mods for carrying absurd numbers of potions. What you don't need is to put perk points into it, since the traits are bad, but you probably can't play very well without fast healing. Fast healing is just bead and butter.
If you have problems carrying a lot of potions then its not cause you dont have enouph carry weght, its cause you dont know how to manage your inventory. Potions dont weight much, but that trashy enchanted sword you picked up from another bandit is as heavy as at least 15 potions. That enchanted armor that you use for smithing? Leave it at home, you dont need it in your adventures. You dont need mods to be able to carry a lot of shit with you. Picking up weapons and armor from enemies will not bring you much gold anyway. melee characters can live just fine without any restoration spells. All you are doing by using restoration magic is wasting time and magica. If you are not wasting magica cause of the enchantments then you are wasting an enchantment slot. Nobody is saying that you shouldnt use restoration, its just that its a bad skill/spells and there are much better alternatives.
This gave me an idea for a RP build: the Missionary A youth from Summerset, proficient in magic, but not having seen much use in learning Restoration. He also didn't see what was so great about the way of life for the races of man. Like many Altmer, he thought they were just naturally better. And their version of the gods too were superior to man's, especially Talos. But then it was a Nord that got him out of Helgen, and Nords that gave him supplies for the road in Riverwood. Their compassion struck something deep inside him. Following Riverwood, have him wander around, fighting beasts, you could say that he was mulling over his new outlook on Nords. Eventually, he contracts a disease, and that's when you make your way to Whiterun. But do *not* go to anything with a word wall. Walking through the streets, he could feel his strength failing him, as the disease drained him. Eventually he collapsed, right at the foot of the Talos statue, and in his mind he scoffed at the idea that he was going to die listening to a man scream the praises of a god he didn't believe in. As his consciousness began to fade, all he could do was hold onto the shrine in a vain attempt to get up, as darkness clouded his vision. But then, suddenly, there was a flash of gold, and his vision cleared. Not only that; he could feel his head clear and strength return to his limbs. Pulling himself up, he noticed no one around that seemed to have cast any spell, or was even capable of it, and no one spoke up. The only voice he heard was the priest praising Talos. And it was in that moment he understood. Somehow, Talos was real after all, he had known the plight of the sickly Altmer laying at his shrine, and had decided, for some reason, thar he was deserving of a god's mercy, and had purged the sickness. But there was more. He could feel it inside him. The elf had been given a power, something he didn't quite understand, but that he knew he would have to find out. In that moment, the Altmer man became a worshipper of Talos. He became the Missionary, a man devoted to giving others the comfort and healing that he himself found in the arms of the God of Mankind. From here on, have the Missionary learn the Restoration school. Heal others often, and without hesitation, with a Restoration spell always in his right hand. And in his left, a Destruction spell, with which he cuts down anyone who would hurt without caring, or an Alteration spell to strengthen his defenses. The Missionary always wears an Amulet of Talos, and will try to keep Talos's shrine blessing as often as he can. For clothing, he'll be wearing the highest ranked Robe of Restoration you can put him in, and normal boots and gloves. While his neck needs the Talos amulet, an enchanted ring and circlet combo, both with Magicka enchantments, could be useful to the build. His primary skill will be Restoration, as talked about previously, and you'll want to grab every perk He studied Destruction for a long time, and everything but Master Destruction and Rune Master will be needed, because Destruction spells will be your damage dealer. You won't likely be using runes or cloaks often. Alteration is what you'll use instead of armor. With all the perks up to Adept Alteration, plus Stability, it'll be like you're wearing full Ebony armor with how much damage you're resisting. From Enchanting, give him Soul Siphon and everything on the middle branch up to Corpus Enchanter, allowing him to make a powerful reinforcement to his magic abilities by rings and circlets that he himself enchanted. Lastly, give him everything on the right branch of Alchemy, all the way up to Purity, so that he can have a stock of potions to keep his meters full. For factions, the Missionary will, predictably , join the College of Winterhold, where he'll meet the three companions I most recommend for him, and also Colette, with whom he strongly agrees with on the validity of Restoration and will eagerly take lessons and buy items from. He can also join the Dawnguard and Companions if you like, but most likely won't want to keep the monstrous forms of the vampire lord and werewolf. Going to Solstheim and helping out the Redoran, Telvanni, and Skaal are also on the table. He can join either the Stormcloaks or Legion, that part doesn't matter much, although I think the Stormcloaks fit better with the whole Talos thing. He absolutely will not join the Dark Brotherhood or Thieves Guild, and has no interest in Harkon's offer. He chooses the Greybeards over the Blades, for their connection to Talos and their greater compassion. The Missionary has no qualms helping worshippers of the other Divines or even Daedra, as long as what they request is something good or can at least be justified. This means that getting Daedric artifacts are entirely plausible, even if the build doesn't have q use for any of them. Azura's Star and Volendrung are absolutely allowed because he gets them by good deeds. Sheogorath's quest can be seen as good in a sense because you're easing Pelagius's turmoil, so it can be allowed, as can Hircine's if you side with Sinding. Hircine's ring will also make keeping lycanthropy more viable if you join the Companions. Vaermina's quest can be done, but the Missionary will let the Skull be banished if he does it. All the other Daedric quests should be avoided. In roleplaying, the Missionary is a completely good aligned person. He heals the sick, he defends the weak, he helps the downtrodden. If he adopts a kid, it should be the ones most needing it. He never steals from another person, he doesn't kill or hurt innocent people, and he won't allow injustices to stand. Beyond that, don't let him interact with Dragonborn things until after the bit with the shrine, because in roleplay, he wasn't Dovahkiin until Talos turned him into one. All this out of the way, he's all yours. Enjoy playing your very very good boy.
Ah, the irony of being a vampire with a boat load of turn undead and other restoration spells. I justify it as being a means of taking out the competition for food. Just gotta remember to pacify my way into dawnguard and buy their sun magic tomes
My current run is a Dawnguard heavy armor sword/board resto caster. After the DG main line is done I intend to cure lycanthropy and if it ever catches vampirism it will fall and turn dark.

Restoration is one of my favorite schools of magic. Wards block destruction, heal you and can repel and kill the undead which greatly helps a vampire hunter such as I.
Drew's voice can sooth any wound, he can channel restoration through his voice. Bethesda better add a "Drew's angelic narration" spell to the restoration school in TESVI. It should sooth men and mer alike, calming them.
There's a lot more to Restoration than just rejuvenating Vitality. Healing internal and external wounds, ailments, warding off plagues, dissolving cruxes, dissent, relaxing seized muscles, soothing aching nerves, sensual therapies... sounds to me like massage therapists are great Restoration Healers.
I love how you treat it as if you're actually there in the world doing research which I guess you actually are. It's your character but it is you so yeah. Kinda had the realization as I typed this and not quite sure why I'm still posting this
A very interesting line of thought just crept into my mind. Could Restoration be the key to true Immortality? Have the Mages and Sorcerors of Tamriel been going about achieving this ambitious dream all wrong all along? Would such a feat be blasphemous if it was ever achieved? Is Restoration alone not enough? Would one need to combine another school of magic to truly become a god? Mages, we must confer!
@@darkspawn4980 Alteration, Alchemy, and Restoration will be necessary. Restoration to keep the body alive by giving life to it. Alteration: to ALTER the physical form to allow the extension of one's lifespan beyond what should be possible (since Alteration changes matter and the physical forces to something else, makes sense). Alchemy would be used to either prolong one's immortality (by potentially reversing/slowing aging), or as the catalyst for both Alteration and Restoration to extend one's life. Could it be possible? Most likely. However, it cannot come without a cost. Such procedure would be very costly materially and spiritually (magicka cost to even attempt such a feat would be too great for one mere mage). If anything, it may be more reasonable to EXTEND one's lifespan to live for longer, rather than give the metaphorical and metaphysical finger to aging by living forever.
"A new hand touches the beacon." Sooooo, I became a sneaky tomb robber, sun-blasting drauger in their crypts in the name of Meridia. Small-room circle of protection is fun when they can't run...
Personally, as someone who plays a High Elf Necromancer and on Permadeath... (who has no resistances to any form of magic) Restoration is certainly valid. From healing my allies to blocking magic, Wards are VERY useful. They keep me from dying to Dragon breath easily.
From a warrior's perspective, restoration turns my otherwise useless mana bar into a constantly refilling supply of free health potions. I've used it since Morrowind. Super fun. Super useful.
Restoration is a must-have for any battlemage. Being able to burn your enemies to cinders means nothing if you don't live to tell the tale, and being able to instantly recover from that one stray arrow or spell that might otherwise have done you in is well worth having to save some magicka that you'd otherwise have spent casting a slightly more powerful fireball... Remember, if your well of magicka runs dry, it'll eventually refill, but if your health runs out, that's it for you...
“Cleric Forsalle of Lindeldt was a master of miracles who fought battles across the lands. His allies called him a holy knight, but his enemies feared him for his ‘demonic powers.’” - Resplendent Life
I remember this one time during the College of Winterhold questline where I ended up in a stalemate against some spellcasting enemies: their wards kept absorbing my Firebolts, and my Flame Atronachs kept dying before doing significant damage. Then I tried equipping a random Iron Sword in one hand and a healing spell in the other, and just went Leeroy Jenkins on them. It was actually pretty effective. *Cries in Destruction Magic*
Destruction is so useless, the only reason i even level up that is to get elementary perk so my enchanting dmg even better In Legendary....it doing jack shit, an expert spell doing jack shit
You did the school of Restoration Magic Justice. It makes me want to start using those spells I always sell and do some good. I always look to Alchemy for all my cure needs.
I think any sort of healing study fantasy game or not gets overlooked often. just look at how medical staff get treated at times or if you play dungeons and dragons how many times the player whos playing the cleric gets treated with little regard despite the fact that the cleric who is playing the healer of the party keeps everyone alive. its a sad reality that people need to snap out of and respect those that provide the treatment we need to survive at times.
Happy Christmas gentlemen of FudgeMuppet! I seldom play Skyrim without using some Restoration if not outright mastering the school. Grand Healing is my favorite, most used spell.
Now, this is the story all about how My life got flipped-turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute Just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the Jarl of a town called Windhelm In southern Skyrim born and raised In High Hrothgar was where I spent most of my days Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' in peace And all letting some FUS-RO-DAH to release When some thousand elves Who were up to no good Startin shedding blood in my neighborhood I got in one argument and Arngeir got scared I said 'I'm movin' with my brothers to go to war" I whistled for a horse and when it came near It had a big carriage like a mighty pioneer If anything I can say is that this ride is primm But I thought Man forget it Yo home to Skyrim I pulled up to a castle about seven or eight And I yelled to the driver 'Yo homes smell ya later' I looked to my kingdom I was finally home To sit on my throne as the Jarl of Windhelm

I know that restoration has saved me more times than I can count, so it is definitely worth learning. Of course, I dabble a little in each school, but restoration is the one I use most out of the top three I use constantly.
@@d-dh2143 hold on. I'm no lore expert but I thought that Talos used CHIM/Zero Sum to become a Divine, and the way you describe it sounds like he used the Numidium to cause a Dragon Break to do so. So which one is it?
Restoration is the best school of magic, wildly versatile over various different character styles, whether I'm playing as a pure mage glass cannon that slings destruction spells or a 2h heavy armor wearing brute I always take the time to use and level my restoration magic because it's saved my life more times than spamming minor heal potions has
I'd like to see a super powerful cold-ass restoration master who, through creativity, used restoration in battle to great effect in the next Elder Scrolls. You see some bandit insult him because he uses restoration spells instead of his vastly superior "flames", after which the bandit spontaneously grows large cysts all over his body and eventually explodes in a bloody cloud. Asking him about it he just casually claims that _"too much healing with nowhere to go can be quite volatile."_ Restoration could possible be the most brutally horrific school of magic, huh?
Restoration is honestly OP gameplay wise. Having 100% Restoration magicka cost negation with Grand Heal means you can literally never run out of health or stamina.
Because they don't trust it. Almost every disaster they've been in was because of magic/ magic users. The Snow elves, The Oblivion crisis, The Aldmei Dominion. But they don't shun out the restoration school because they do mare good than bad.
Actually most don't use magic. The guards dont. The nord bandits don't, the citizens don't really. Examine the casters in the game and most are Breton not Nord.
Tej problem with restoration is that by level 40 you are literally invulnerable and never loose more than 2% of you hp on battles so you literally cant heal to level it up unless you arrow the enemy to hit you a lot. The most usefull parts of restorarion is the perk that guves magic regenation speed
It's ironic how mages pursuing immortality will spend their entire lives researching almost any field of magic EXCEPT restoration. I mean... Come on. It's the ONLY category of magic that _explicitly_ revolves around keeping people alive and healthy.
Using restoration to attack undead is like the magic trying to force the impurities (undead mind) out of the undead body to "heal" (destroy) the undead.
Has anyone ever finished the game playing as a vigilant of Stendarr? And I don't mean starting off as one, but switching to dawnguard later on; I mean mage robes and hood with heavy armour boots and gauntlets, wielding a mace and alteration / restoration spells doing Stendarr's work throughout the game. One could build one of the Hearthfire homes to replace the hall of the vigilants the vampires destroyed and 'rebuild' the order, for example. Hmmm .... think I just might have the outlines for my next character. 😊

I think the same could be said for melee fighters and rangers as well, the lore talks about great warriors capable of cleaving through multiple enemies at once, or surviving blows from an entire army, but that kind of stuff is isn't possible. I think the problem is that the power ceiling in the tes games is too low.
Not underpowered, but lack of efficiency and interest in magic and combat gameplay

Your the reason why I’m playing Skyrim again rn as a mage
Heavy armor battlemage. For the Emperor!.
I like being a heavy armor stealth mage.
Just going to try this new playstyle aaaaand I'm a stealth archer again.
Im playing a unique(i believe its unique anyway) nightblade build i came up with. Heavy armor with a hood. Sword and dagger,bow and arrows. Uses illusion,restoration,and destruction magic. And doesnt put any points into sneak and instead uses illusion magic to get behind enemies.
Hey FudgeMuppet! (I don't comment on TH-cam videos much) But ss an Aussie Skyrim player, this may be the best video that you have ver done. Restoration is a fantastic school (I stand with Colette on this). But the way you did this video, the music that flows with it and Drew narrating it is just awesome to watch. Keep it up! #Aussie.
Restoration is my favorite school.
Illusion ftw

Somewhere, passive aggressive Drew is disagreeing.
Restoration is a perfectly valid school of magic, and don’t let anybody tell you otherwise!
LittleTryHard thank you for saying “of magic” and not “for magic”. I’ve seen that error so many times in this comment section and as anal as it is, I cringe every time.

Restoration magic is one the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.
I always go for restoration in my playthrough, it's extremely useful and very underrated
Just like you
anybody who doesn't respect restoration clearly hasn't played morrowind.
@@alintugui5207 is that supposed to be a compliment?
@Völkisch Warrior because even though you have about 1000 hp, you will still need to heal sometimes, obviously. Unless you're one of those people who play on adept
@Völkisch Warrior you said you have Magicka potions, not health potions
Restoration wouldn't be underrate if it still included the ability to take the enemy's health and add it to one's own like during the oblivion crisis, or the ability to cure diseases, poisons, restore attributes, fortify attributes and such. You used to be able to fortify your weapon skills and use them to land a devastating blow on the enemy.
It’d be nice if we didn’t simplify things.
After 3K hrs in Skyrim, I have been playing Oblivion for the last year. I like it better. Your right, restoration is quite powerful in Oblivion.
@Zach Kabia It most certainly shouldn't be a destruction spell. And vampire drain spells are super weak. It is correct in the Restoration school. Maybe in the Mysticism school if it still existed.
Cordiel Direnni I think offensive disease spells should also fall under restoration. And anything to do with death and decay.
@@thebigyes8482 No what the fuck, it's called RESTORATION for a reason
Funny how some higher level wizards don’t really think much of Restoration, but the common people of Tamriel appreciate that school the most.
Let’s make a new restoration spell that cures fallout 76
You don't have enough magicka to cast that spell.
There's some cancers, you just can't cure. Even with magic
I stood up for that game, until they deleted my character. Fuck Fallout 76!
it's an forgotten spell lost to time.
That would be Necromancy
Lich: “I heard you were some sort of hot shit healer.”
Mage: “I do okay.”
Lich: “And what does a healer do?”
Mage: “Same thing as you, with one difference.”
Lich: “What is that?”
Mage: “When I heal to extend my life indefinitely I don’t become a damned abomination.”
"Feel the glow"
I was thinking of things like how in skyrim using the perk to restore stamina could be a great boon for warriors, (or directly in other games) and wondered if it restores or lets magic fill in the gaps to create the flesh lost in injury or make it rapidly repair?
then I thought something horrid, remembering the corpus curse disease of morrowind, what if you can corrupt the flesh through restoration? force someone to a state of disfigurement and agony by exceeding where the healing or creation should stop, a magical forced cancer?
Weren't there some speculation that face sculpturing and "flesh magic" could be related to restoration? That would include body restructuring and forced scarification, though it might be aided by destruction.
Magic is magic. The schools are just ways of grouping spells by the mentality and technique required to cast them.
@@jacobfreeman5444 True
@@jacobfreeman5444 I think it's the "Spells" mod? Lol, same concept. Someone just coveres it on here but I don't think it was FM.
There is a mod for it! It is disease/plague magic found in restoration. Apocalypse spells or something. It argues the same thing you said about spells having opposite effects as well.
Drew: Daedrologist, and the newest general studies professor at the college of winterhold.
Generalists could be very dangerous mages.
I love how literally anyone and everyone can practice restoration magic. You don't have to be special or a certain race
"Underrated magic school."
*Literally everyone's been using it.*
There's a focus on destruction because archmage Todd of Howardfell fancies explosions.
And those desteuction spells are quite meh.
Seriously wish they buffed magic in Skyrim without use of mods. Hopefully ES6 shows off the true power of the arcane arts.
@@duncanharrell5009 Bethesda could learn a lot from Elden Ring's variety in magic.
It has magic missiles, nothing personnel kiddo magic missiles, projectile spray in multiple directions, multiple buffs with drawbacks/quirks/restrictions, spells that compliment melee, spells that compliment archery, spells that compliment other spells, spells that cancel into other spells, gear that boosts spells developed only by a specific mage and not others, gear that boosts casting speed, the angry sun from Mario Bros 2 with a vengeance, gravitational pull, unga bunga rock throwing magic, laser eyes, spontaneous combustion, exploding blood, poison clouds, life leaching clouds, death lighting...
Nah its pretty underrated
Ordinator absolutely crushes the Restoration school. They nailed the balance that no one likes to think about, that the people that heal us can easily kill us. A paladin build is not only readily accomplished, but it’s terrifyingly powerful.
Wish I could give more than one thumbs-up. I love how you talk like you are reading a book found in-game to us, and keep role-playing.
I'd say Alteration is definitely the most underrated
I have to agree, I seem to never get it even to level 20 even when I make a 100% mage build
I think restoration is one of the only spells I always seem to level up at least a bit no matter which kind of build I make.
If anything it's probably one of the most used spell classes.
True. I've had characters with 100 skill in every school of magic except for alteration.
Playing with a paralyse spell in the off-hand is almost too easy.
I'd say Mysticism is more underrated >.>

Way to go! The philosophy behind this video is serenely invaluable.
aka the only school of magic i ever bother to level
Cause of that broken perk that makes vampires even more overpowered? Cause without mods it is the only reason why I would consider leveling that useless skill up.
@@FerunaLutelou nah, i play with Ordinator, it's undead healer perk (forgot name) is mostly balanced.
I just don't like casting magic in general and in skyrim especially -since it's totally retarded and broken-
but restoration is always absolute must have.
and, of course, enchantment for that sweet 0% magica coast
Necro-mage perk
Magic is indeed bullshit, but restoration is almost useless, even with mods. Alchemy is much better. Why waste an enchantment slot on your equipment to make restoration free to use when you can use it for something really useful.
@@FerunaLutelou I think restoration is basically needed as a melee character if you don't have mods for carrying absurd numbers of potions. What you don't need is to put perk points into it, since the traits are bad, but you probably can't play very well without fast healing. Fast healing is just bead and butter.
If you have problems carrying a lot of potions then its not cause you dont have enouph carry weght, its cause you dont know how to manage your inventory. Potions dont weight much, but that trashy enchanted sword you picked up from another bandit is as heavy as at least 15 potions. That enchanted armor that you use for smithing? Leave it at home, you dont need it in your adventures. You dont need mods to be able to carry a lot of shit with you. Picking up weapons and armor from enemies will not bring you much gold anyway. melee characters can live just fine without any restoration spells. All you are doing by using restoration magic is wasting time and magica. If you are not wasting magica cause of the enchantments then you are wasting an enchantment slot.
Nobody is saying that you shouldnt use restoration, its just that its a bad skill/spells and there are much better alternatives.
This gave me an idea for a RP build: the Missionary
A youth from Summerset, proficient in magic, but not having seen much use in learning Restoration. He also didn't see what was so great about the way of life for the races of man. Like many Altmer, he thought they were just naturally better. And their version of the gods too were superior to man's, especially Talos.
But then it was a Nord that got him out of Helgen, and Nords that gave him supplies for the road in Riverwood. Their compassion struck something deep inside him.
Following Riverwood, have him wander around, fighting beasts, you could say that he was mulling over his new outlook on Nords. Eventually, he contracts a disease, and that's when you make your way to Whiterun. But do *not* go to anything with a word wall.
Walking through the streets, he could feel his strength failing him, as the disease drained him. Eventually he collapsed, right at the foot of the Talos statue, and in his mind he scoffed at the idea that he was going to die listening to a man scream the praises of a god he didn't believe in. As his consciousness began to fade, all he could do was hold onto the shrine in a vain attempt to get up, as darkness clouded his vision.
But then, suddenly, there was a flash of gold, and his vision cleared. Not only that; he could feel his head clear and strength return to his limbs. Pulling himself up, he noticed no one around that seemed to have cast any spell, or was even capable of it, and no one spoke up. The only voice he heard was the priest praising Talos.
And it was in that moment he understood. Somehow, Talos was real after all, he had known the plight of the sickly Altmer laying at his shrine, and had decided, for some reason, thar he was deserving of a god's mercy, and had purged the sickness. But there was more. He could feel it inside him. The elf had been given a power, something he didn't quite understand, but that he knew he would have to find out. In that moment, the Altmer man became a worshipper of Talos. He became the Missionary, a man devoted to giving others the comfort and healing that he himself found in the arms of the God of Mankind.
From here on, have the Missionary learn the Restoration school. Heal others often, and without hesitation, with a Restoration spell always in his right hand. And in his left, a Destruction spell, with which he cuts down anyone who would hurt without caring, or an Alteration spell to strengthen his defenses.
The Missionary always wears an Amulet of Talos, and will try to keep Talos's shrine blessing as often as he can. For clothing, he'll be wearing the highest ranked Robe of Restoration you can put him in, and normal boots and gloves. While his neck needs the Talos amulet, an enchanted ring and circlet combo, both with Magicka enchantments, could be useful to the build.
His primary skill will be Restoration, as talked about previously, and you'll want to grab every perk
He studied Destruction for a long time, and everything but Master Destruction and Rune Master will be needed, because Destruction spells will be your damage dealer. You won't likely be using runes or cloaks often.
Alteration is what you'll use instead of armor. With all the perks up to Adept Alteration, plus Stability, it'll be like you're wearing full Ebony armor with how much damage you're resisting.
From Enchanting, give him Soul Siphon and everything on the middle branch up to Corpus Enchanter, allowing him to make a powerful reinforcement to his magic abilities by rings and circlets that he himself enchanted.
Lastly, give him everything on the right branch of Alchemy, all the way up to Purity, so that he can have a stock of potions to keep his meters full.
For factions, the Missionary will, predictably , join the College of Winterhold, where he'll meet the three companions I most recommend for him, and also Colette, with whom he strongly agrees with on the validity of Restoration and will eagerly take lessons and buy items from. He can also join the Dawnguard and Companions if you like, but most likely won't want to keep the monstrous forms of the vampire lord and werewolf. Going to Solstheim and helping out the Redoran, Telvanni, and Skaal are also on the table. He can join either the Stormcloaks or Legion, that part doesn't matter much, although I think the Stormcloaks fit better with the whole Talos thing. He absolutely will not join the Dark Brotherhood or Thieves Guild, and has no interest in Harkon's offer. He chooses the Greybeards over the Blades, for their connection to Talos and their greater compassion.
The Missionary has no qualms helping worshippers of the other Divines or even Daedra, as long as what they request is something good or can at least be justified. This means that getting Daedric artifacts are entirely plausible, even if the build doesn't have q use for any of them. Azura's Star and Volendrung are absolutely allowed because he gets them by good deeds. Sheogorath's quest can be seen as good in a sense because you're easing Pelagius's turmoil, so it can be allowed, as can Hircine's if you side with Sinding. Hircine's ring will also make keeping lycanthropy more viable if you join the Companions. Vaermina's quest can be done, but the Missionary will let the Skull be banished if he does it. All the other Daedric quests should be avoided.
In roleplaying, the Missionary is a completely good aligned person. He heals the sick, he defends the weak, he helps the downtrodden. If he adopts a kid, it should be the ones most needing it. He never steals from another person, he doesn't kill or hurt innocent people, and he won't allow injustices to stand.
Beyond that, don't let him interact with Dragonborn things until after the bit with the shrine, because in roleplay, he wasn't Dovahkiin until Talos turned him into one.
All this out of the way, he's all yours. Enjoy playing your very very good boy.
Ah, the irony of being a vampire with a boat load of turn undead and other restoration spells. I justify it as being a means of taking out the competition for food. Just gotta remember to pacify my way into dawnguard and buy their sun magic tomes
My current run is a Dawnguard heavy armor sword/board resto caster.
After the DG main line is done I intend to cure lycanthropy and if it ever catches vampirism it will fall and turn dark.

Restoration is one of my favorite schools of magic. Wards block destruction, heal you and can repel and kill the undead which greatly helps a vampire hunter such as I.
Drew's voice can sooth any wound, he can channel restoration through his voice. Bethesda better add a "Drew's angelic narration" spell to the restoration school in TESVI. It should sooth men and mer alike, calming them.
Everyone laughs at Restoration until I start out healing your DPS and become functionally impervious
There's a lot more to Restoration than just rejuvenating Vitality. Healing internal and external wounds, ailments, warding off plagues, dissolving cruxes, dissent, relaxing seized muscles, soothing aching nerves, sensual therapies... sounds to me like massage therapists are great Restoration Healers.

Stendarr: *Angry & Confused Aedra noises*
I love how you treat it as if you're actually there in the world doing research which I guess you actually are. It's your character but it is you so yeah. Kinda had the realization as I typed this and not quite sure why I'm still posting this
You guys are doing the work of the Divinesthe, Nine bless you.
A very interesting line of thought just crept into my mind. Could Restoration be the key to true Immortality? Have the Mages and Sorcerors of Tamriel been going about achieving this ambitious dream all wrong all along? Would such a feat be blasphemous if it was ever achieved? Is Restoration alone not enough? Would one need to combine another school of magic to truly become a god? Mages, we must confer!
I think a combination of restoration and alchemy would work
@@darkspawn4980 Alteration, Alchemy, and Restoration will be necessary. Restoration to keep the body alive by giving life to it. Alteration: to ALTER the physical form to allow the extension of one's lifespan beyond what should be possible (since Alteration changes matter and the physical forces to something else, makes sense). Alchemy would be used to either prolong one's immortality (by potentially reversing/slowing aging), or as the catalyst for both Alteration and Restoration to extend one's life.
Could it be possible? Most likely. However, it cannot come without a cost. Such procedure would be very costly materially and spiritually (magicka cost to even attempt such a feat would be too great for one mere mage). If anything, it may be more reasonable to EXTEND one's lifespan to live for longer, rather than give the metaphorical and metaphysical finger to aging by living forever.
As a guy who did a cleric build restoration was my crack.xD
Ah a holy warrior bro, indeed it is

Saaaame dood
you guys really do your homework, i love your lore videos, really amazing stuff!
After the last discussion topic I ran into on your channel this is too good. I love restoration magic.
Personally, as someone who plays a High Elf Necromancer and on Permadeath... (who has no resistances to any form of magic) Restoration is certainly valid. From healing my allies to blocking magic, Wards are VERY useful. They keep me from dying to Dragon breath easily.
From a warrior's perspective, restoration turns my otherwise useless mana bar into a constantly refilling supply of free health potions. I've used it since Morrowind. Super fun. Super useful.
Oh how that oblivion music soothes the soul.
It's honestly amazing - how beautiful Oblivions soundtrack is. Gets me every time.
"when I found the resident healer Colette Marin her undergarments were wet at the sight of me and my interest in restoration"
Restoration is a must-have for any battlemage. Being able to burn your enemies to cinders means nothing if you don't live to tell the tale, and being able to instantly recover from that one stray arrow or spell that might otherwise have done you in is well worth having to save some magicka that you'd otherwise have spent casting a slightly more powerful fireball... Remember, if your well of magicka runs dry, it'll eventually refill, but if your health runs out, that's it for you...

"I have a lot of respect for the Restoration school. Skyrim could use a lot more healers."
I remember this one time during the College of Winterhold questline where I ended up in a stalemate against some spellcasting enemies: their wards kept absorbing my Firebolts, and my Flame Atronachs kept dying before doing significant damage.
Then I tried equipping a random Iron Sword in one hand and a healing spell in the other, and just went Leeroy Jenkins on them. It was actually pretty effective.
*Cries in Destruction Magic*
Destruction is so useless, the only reason i even level up that is to get elementary perk so my enchanting dmg even better
In Legendary....it doing jack shit, an expert spell doing jack shit
I wonder if a skilled restoration mage could live forever with a sort of pseudo-lichdom
Yeah that’s how telvanni mages can live to be thousands of years old,
You did the school of Restoration Magic Justice. It makes me want to start using those spells I always sell and do some good. I always look to Alchemy for all my cure needs.
I think any sort of healing study fantasy game or not gets overlooked often. just look at how medical staff get treated at times or if you play dungeons and dragons how many times the player whos playing the cleric gets treated with little regard despite the fact that the cleric who is playing the healer of the party keeps everyone alive. its a sad reality that people need to snap out of and respect those that provide the treatment we need to survive at times.

And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the Jarl of a town called Windhelm
In southern Skyrim born and raised
In High Hrothgar was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' in peace
And all letting some FUS-RO-DAH to release
When some thousand elves
Who were up to no good

I pulled up to a castle about seven or eight
And I yelled to the driver 'Yo homes smell ya later'

F Talos
@@d-dh2143 hold on. I'm no lore expert but I thought that Talos used CHIM/Zero Sum to become a Divine, and the way you describe it sounds like he used the Numidium to cause a Dragon Break to do so. So which one is it?
"Which one is it?"
Yes.
Joni Joestar dragon breaks are great huh? Everything is true.
Restoration is the best school of magic, wildly versatile over various different character styles, whether I'm playing as a pure mage glass cannon that slings destruction spells or a 2h heavy armor wearing brute I always take the time to use and level my restoration magic because it's saved my life more times than spamming minor heal potions has
I'd like to see a super powerful cold-ass restoration master who, through creativity, used restoration in battle to great effect in the next Elder Scrolls.
You see some bandit insult him because he uses restoration spells instead of his vastly superior "flames", after which the bandit spontaneously grows large cysts all over his body and eventually explodes in a bloody cloud. Asking him about it he just casually claims that _"too much healing with nowhere to go can be quite volatile."_
Restoration could possible be the most brutally horrific school of magic, huh?
Restoration is honestly OP gameplay wise. Having 100% Restoration magicka cost negation with Grand Heal means you can literally never run out of health or stamina.

A quick question about magic. If most Nords hate and mistrust magic, why in game do ALL nords use magic?
Not every Nord use magic, it was more common in the first era when there were dragon priests wich were spellswords.
Because they don't trust it. Almost every disaster they've been in was because of magic/ magic users. The Snow elves, The Oblivion crisis, The Aldmei Dominion. But they don't shun out the restoration school because they do mare good than bad.
Actually most don't use magic. The guards dont. The nord bandits don't, the citizens don't really. Examine the casters in the game and most are Breton not Nord.
Tej problem with restoration is that by level 40 you are literally invulnerable and never loose more than 2% of you hp on battles so you literally cant heal to level it up unless you arrow the enemy to hit you a lot. The most usefull parts of restorarion is the perk that guves magic regenation speed
The only thing I hate about resto is the fact that it is forced artificially to level up super slowly for no logical reason.
Til lvl 50
Everyone laughs at restoration until they run out of cheese wheels to heal with
It's ironic how mages pursuing immortality will spend their entire lives researching almost any field of magic EXCEPT restoration. I mean... Come on. It's the ONLY category of magic that _explicitly_ revolves around keeping people alive and healthy.
Even though I don’t use it all the time, I like restoration, and is handy if there is a sword in your right hand to stay in the fight longer.
To your title: You’re Godsdamned right!
Always did have a soft spot for restoration, with myself being a support main in most games that offer such a role
Merry Christmas, my fellow rollplayer 🎄 👍 🎮
Using restoration to attack undead is like the magic trying to force the impurities (undead mind) out of the undead body to "heal" (destroy) the undead.
Has anyone ever finished the game playing as a vigilant of Stendarr? And I don't mean starting off as one, but switching to dawnguard later on; I mean mage robes and hood with heavy armour boots and gauntlets, wielding a mace and alteration / restoration spells doing Stendarr's work throughout the game.
One could build one of the Hearthfire homes to replace the hall of the vigilants the vampires destroyed and 'rebuild' the order, for example.
Hmmm .... think I just might have the outlines for my next character. 😊
Sounds cool, been thinking about a Vigilant kinda build too.

Skyrim Build Idea: The Cursed Guard
Backstory: There was once a hold guard that worked in Whiterun. He was the average family man, and worked his hardest. But, one day, something bad happened to him. He was turned into a werewolf... Now, he can turn willingly, or he turns every full moon. No-one knows his dark secret as of now, and the player is that guard.
Equipment:
Whiterun guard helmet
Whiterun guard robes
Fur boots
Axe of Whiterun
Whiterun guard shield (Depends of weather the axe of Whiterun is one handed or two handed)
Torch (Depends on the same conditions listed above)
Lives in: Breezehome
Note: You can use whatever hold guard you want, I just found Whiterun's needed equipment the easiest to get.
You can get a couple of sets of Riften Guard Armor at Shor's Stone Watchtower.
Dark Steve backstory seems overly detailed. Don’t know if I can get into this.
