User blog comment:StarkBlack/Magic: It's use in warfare and combat/@comment-6365350-20140223114232

Magic is them most powerful weapon in Tamriel. Although it takesm much longer to acquire (Having to train to get the better spells, levelling up for more magicka, etc.) the results are well worth the effort. A strong age can cast aside entire armies with the right spells and is more than a match for any warrior weilding a melee weapon. Although arhcers can present more of a challenge the sheer destructive power of magic can easily overwhelm any bowman.

MAGIC IS MIGHT!
