User blog comment:Tag!/Spellmaking in Skyrim?/@comment-3523404-20111126183535

Sadly, custom spells are not an option in Skyrim. I can see why, though. The graphics for spells are extremely intense. Opening up the option for custom spells would need more intense animations, which could be difficult to do for the designers/programmers/whatever. This disappoints me greatly, because my absolute favorite aspect of Oblivion was the spell system/spell crafting. Despite how imbalanced and cluttered it was.
