Destruction



One of the six schools of magicka, Destruction was by far the most widely used school of magic in all of Tamriel. While most choose to concentrate on dealing out elemental damage, the school of Destruction has a number of useful spells beyond those. A clever caster can hinder an enemy, destroy weapons and armor, and weaken him or her to the point of collapse. It also allowed a spellcaster to reduce damage from other magickal attacks. Often spellcasters who had achieved mastery over the school of Destruction were dangerous and many of the school of Destruction's adherents and practicioners were driven over the edge into total insanity.

The school of Destruction magicka consisted of five different types of spells. The first, and most popular, spells of the school of Destruction were spells that caused elemental damage to a spellcaster's enemies. These spells inflicted damage directly on a spellcaster's enemies. The second type of spells of the school of Destruction were value-draining spells which attacked a spellcaster's enemy's body by making it slower, clumsier, and less skillfull. Value-damaging magicka was also a popular brand of Destruction magicka. These spells were similar to value-draining magicka and also attacked a person's body, making it less skillfull. The fourth type of spells were vulnerability spells which made a person more susceptible to poisons, diseases, and damage from weapons. The final type of Destruction spells were disintegration spells which corroded and disintegrated a person's armor and weapons, thus making them useless in a fight.
