You have to join the Companions in Whiterun. Do some missions, you'll be offered the option of performing the blood ritual.PureIrony said:Level 11 Altmer mage. I can dual-wieldz my firebolts!
And, when thy're out of range for that, I tend to use a bow. I'm trying to avoid using swords and the like unless absolutely necessary, partially for roleplaying reasons and partially because I've almost exclusively upgraded my magicka.
EDIT: How is everyone turning themselves into werewolves? Because an elven werewolf mage sounds awesome.
Werewolf is literally the best power I have so far. You get to turn whenever you want, the only catch being you can only turn once a day, but that is easily remedied with the Wait function. You're super strong and you have an unlimited amount of Roars that make enemies run away in fear for 30 seconds (like Battle Cry), and you're also extremely fast when sprinting. That was great help after my horse got Roflstomped by a group of retarded bandits. As long as you feed on a steady supply of bodies you can technically remaind a werewolf indefinitly. The only catch is you cannot search bodies or talk to people in wolf form, you have to wait for it to wear off, and you cannot use any items in wolf form, so just be carefull not to die. Also don't foget to re-equip your apparel afterward.
And to top it all off, you get 100% immunity to diseases and some other stuff as well, maybe poison? So all of the Cure Disease potion you'll get from the mission to kill multiple vampires can simply be sold for a tidy profit. Did one vampire killing mission, made out like a bandit, sold all of the Cure Diseases I got, ended up earning probably around 500 gold.
