And besides Akotosh, a divine that can't help, no one, even in lore, has weaved a spell powerful enough to bend time and space. Reflect spells don't last long aren't 100% and as of the Fourth Era appear to have been lost.

Plus, not that many people can use magic, and we have more guns on Earth than they have people on Tamriel. A lot of people say gameplay =/= lore. Now, you commit the mistake of gameplay = lore.

So Slow Time wasn't a possibility? It's just a Thuum. Anyone can learn Thuum, provided they are willing to put in some effort.

Flame cloaks don't stop arrows is a limitation of the game (because of a lack of programming, just like how you can swim in water with a frost cloak on). A flesh spell not negating damage is again a game limitation. If you want to limit things to in game, then what's the point?

Make up your minds on this won't you?

What? The no flame cloak not destroying arrows isn't a limit of the game, do you know how long it takes to melt metal?! To long to stop the arrow from making it through to kill you, and a bullet will go much quicker.

And no, not anone can learn to shout,only the Greybeards could teach you, and they only teach Nords they deem worthy. And it takes years maybe even decades. And shouts aren't normal magic, they're much more powerful, but there's only four old people who can use them and a few lizards that we could easily beat.
