Scientists' guild, anyone?

Lets you research into esoteric technologies which you can use to upgrade your stuff, with the awesome power of science!

scientific assistant: lets you craft exploding poisons (that you can throw) and better healing potions.

Scientific apprentice: craft awesome things like dwemer automatons as animal followers. Repair and use them with spells+science

Laboratory technician: can use the arcane upgrader (upgrade enchantments), arcane recharger (recharge weapons) and advanced alchemy table (combine up to 5 ingredients)

Scientist: Create efficient enchantments that last longer, lets you upgrade enchantments to slightly better amounts. Alchemy is improved further.

Genius: create enchanted weapons and staves that regenerate charge over time (1%), gives a lesser power that can charge an enchantment every 10 seconds. repaired automatons have improved stats.

Scientist supreme: enchanted weapons regenerate charge faster (3%), charge enchantment every 5 secs, can rebuild centurions now.

A few subject specialisations after you rank up after "scientist":

Astrologer: Can have another standing stone power at 50% strength

Biologist: all attacks cause bleeding for 5 secs, 3 per sec. More alchemy ingredients found

Chemist: alchemy is 50% stronger

Physicist: soul gems do not break when used for recharging (rechargable batteries!)

Engineer: can upgrade and repair your automatons with dwemer parts. centurions cannot be upgraded

Archaeologist: find more junk and treasure in chests (more loot)

After you rank up after genius, your specialisation is improved:

Master astrologer: Can have another standing stone power at 100% strength

Master biologist: all attacks cause bleeding for 5 secs, 6 per sec. More alchemy ingredients found, all animals killed and examined makes you deal 1 more damage to that type of animal

Master chemist: alchemy is 75% stronger. Use potions as ingredients as well

Master physicist: soul gems do not break when used for recharging, soul gems can accept multiple souls.

Master engineer: can upgrade and repair your automatons with dwemer parts. More upgrades available. Gives a spell to "raise automaton"

Archaeologist: Find more junk and treasure in chests (more loot). Increased chance to find treasures and rare loot
