In Oblivion there were plenty of destruction spells, orders of magnitude more illusion spells than in Skyrim, and tons of monsters to summon. Hell, you could MAKE new spells!

In Oblivion you could summon Daedra, Daedroth, Skamps, Spriggans, Xaviers(?), Ghosts, Zombies, Skeletons, Skimps, all atronachs, etc.

Skyrim? Atronachs, ghost wolves, Daedra. You could use necromancy to get zombies of various diffirent creatures, but it all ends there.

Opinions? I would really like to have more spells, yeah. I think Destruction isn't really in need of them as much as the other schools are. Illusion should have WAY more spells than it does in Skyrim. I think that there ought to be multiple tiers of cloak spells, ending with Invisibility. That would be nice. So like the Novice spell ups your sneak a little bit, then a little more with Apprentice, and so on. That would just make sense. And Alteration could have more spells as well. Perhaps, instead of just being able to increase your armor rating, you could increase a damage rating as well. Call it Hone Blade or something like that. And Restoration should have spells to restore Stamina as well as health. Have one called Respite or Second Wind that works just like Fast Healing or Close Wounds.

How many Illusion spells are there in Skyrim? I only know of Invisibility and Muffle.
