The Atronach

"Those born under this sign are natural sorcerers with deep reserves of magicka, but they cannot generate magicka of their own."

―The Firmament

The Atronach (often called the Golem) is one of the thirteen constellations existing in the Aurbis. It is one of the charges of the Mage and its season is Sun's Dusk.

Tips

• This birthsign can raise the players magicka reservoir in each game.
• The player can overcome the Stunted Magicka effect in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion by:
  • Using Restore Magicka potions, Welkynd Stones and Ayleid Wells.
  • Having 100% Spell Absorption and casting Telekinesis which restores the player's magicka reservoir.
  • Using Absorb Magicka spells and/or enchantments on weapons.
• Players not using magic can still benefit from this birthsign, because of the 50% Spell Absorption in all games.
