Talk:College of Winterhold (Skyrim)

The spell that you need to cast in order to enter the first time varies per playthrough. I for one had to cast a fear spell. I loaded a previous save when I saw that my housecarl had died and then I had to cast a firebolt.

You're right. I watched a video on Youtube and the person had to cast a different spell. For some reason, I'm thinking it has to do with your least proficient spell, which for me was Conjuration. Perhaps it's simply random, though.

It's random. Best thing to do is quick save, see which spell you get and quickload until you get a decent one like summon or heal.

Somone is vadalsing the pages!

i cant find the damned arch mage, to tell him the news about the orbit in the cage at sarthaal. Where is this f-cker? been running around the college for 2 hours now...

Are the items from the college quests scaled to your level in the game? Basically I want to know when I should start these quests for the maximum benefit.

Can't complete quest if you don't join up?
So is there no way to complete the "Visit the College of Winterhold" quest (and get it out of your questlist) if you DON'T join the mage's college? I went through the conversation list and chose the "no thanks, not interested" option but the quest is still there afterward. >.<

Daily Meetings in the Hall of Elements
I noticed that from 2-3pm the members of the College meet in the Hall of Elements and get briefed by Drevis Neloren, the Illusion Expert. I witnessed two meetings and the contents were different.

Maybe this is worth mentioning.
