Alteration + Destruction = getting into places you are not supposed to and then blowing up everyone there.

Alteration and Illusion. Sneak around and drain people's life.

But then again making things go boom always worked so yeah, Destruction

Illusion.

Anyone could hide behind a fireball or demon.
A real mage will hide behind a wall of temporary allies.

Okay, so long as you're sure. But dangit, I already put up my vote for Alteration. I'll hate you forever if you make me have to go back in time to change the vote if Alchemy becomes applicable.

There are six schools of magic in Oblivion: Alteration, Conjuration, Destruction, Illusion, Mysticism, and Restoration. Every spell belongs to one of these schools, and your ability to cast a given spell is determined by your skill level in that school. The seventh magical skill is Alchemy, which allows you to create your own potions and poisons. This article talks about general aspects of magic, including features common to all six spell-casting schools.

I get the feeling you're trying to be picky, but backhanded yourself and stumbled mid-post. I bolded the points necessary. To cut it down further
Six schools of magic
Seventh magical skill
They're linked, but its not a school of magic. Thank god, I thought I might've accidentally voted prematurely. The second worst thing to do prematurely!

Illusion is like having a win button. It made completing the main quest in Oblivion less tedious for me and I didn't even have to use the modding tools or console to cheat.

Im sorry if I came off picky, I was just trying to say that I would count alchemy as part of the school of magics. The only reason its seperated is because its not 'cast' related. No big deal though, I was trying to point out how I wasn't right because its isn't a school of magic in my original post, but I would count it as one

That's just the feeling I got. Its like someone accidentally attacking themselves as an argument, even if that was kinda your point. Its possibly also not classed as a 'school' of magic in a story context as you don't actually have to have an ounce of magical ability in you to learn what does what. Careful study will handle that. Perfect for Magicka dunces!

What's hilarious is that this discussion is most of the thread, and we can't be spoken down to for it because its all on-topic =D

Well either Destruction for obvious reasons (kaPOW bitcheees!) or Illusion for mindfuckery. And well since I'm simply a sadist, I enjoy watching people fuck themsélfs up much more then when I fuck them up with a huge ball of fire. That's just...too simple.

Conjuration was always my favourite. Summoning demonic minions to do your bidding? Hell to the yes!

restoration, they can't do anything to you! plus it's better than destruction when you have absorb health spells and, unlike illusion, it isn't utterly useless when you're at a low level.
