Recent magic changes

  • Update 15 expanded Sorcery, Psionics and Channeling perk ladders.
  • Update 16 fixed Sorcerer's Wrath interaction and duplicate Soul Tether spawns.
  • Container and magic menus can now sort; the magic menu shows school and cost.

Before using an old spell guide

  • Check that the guide names its update.
  • Read current in-game cost, magnitude and duration.
  • Verify whether the effect comes from the crafter, a tome, an item or a perk.
  • Do not assume a vendor distribution note applies to every older save.
