This poll is to assess which school of magic is the favourite in the Elder Scrolls universe. After some debate with a friend, Illusion was decided on for its many uses in and out of combat, but whats the escapists call? What is the definative magic school and why?

Illusion is cripplingly powerful in Oblivion, once you learn a powerful enough invisibility spell, you can use that to get out of any unwanted combat and cause mass confusion in your enemies.
A high level illusionist doesn't defeat their enemies, they toy with them.

You didnt add Alchemy, Im pretty sure thats in there.
So im not voting till I can vote for it.
EDIT: Im wrong, Alchemy isnt a in the schools, its just magic related

Alteration was about the only thing I used in Morrowind. Due to the pitiful rate at which magicka replenished and the absolute maximum you could get including race and sign was very low. So it became a thing to use to help me thieve.
Though in Oblivion they improved the magicka system and removed a lot of the cool alteration spells. So in that case it'd be restoration. Illusion fails on both fronts because of high level enchanting does better without casting.
In the end Alteration > Restoration because Morrowind > Oblivion.
I miss Levitate...

I'd have to say Alchemy, myself. It should probably still count as a magic school, because it bestows magic effects on the user and is utilised by the mage guild.
If not, Alteration. The additional uses of Alteration were many and varied, including opening doors without needing to walk that additional ten meters. That and getting passed water without difficulty like you're the second coming or something. Always a fun, crude 'I'M JEEEZUUUS LUL' joke to be had.
Potions: Alter your state of mind
Alteration: Alter -somethings- as opposed to -everything- since too few ever use it so they never made all that many spells for it! TURNING THE ENEMIES INTO STONE WOULD BE NIFTY, BETHESDA! EVER THINK OF THAT?!

Vote Alteration, since it carries the spirit of Alchemy in its very name!pimppeter2 said:
