How do I delete unwanted spells?
To delete a spell from your spellbook, go to the menu screen, and shift-click on a name in the spellbook. Note that sometimes the shift status gets muddled up (the game forgets whether you have pressed it), so you may need to press it again.

How do I get a fortify skill spell?
Pre patch 1.2, you were given a spell giving you +10 short blade skill (amongst other things) for completing the Morag Tong quests, thus allowing you to make fortify skill spells and enchantments. This was taken out in the last patch, so it is now impossible to get a fortify skill spell.

What are the best spells?
My favorite spells are: invisibility, chameleon, mark and recall, soul trap, levitation, water breathing, jump, both intervention spells, charm, calm and frenzy. See the end of the FAQ
section for more info.

Where can I buy high level summon spells?
Felen Maryon, in the upper tower of the Telvanni tower in Tel Branora, sells summon Golden Saint, among other powerful spells, but can only be reached through judicious use of levitate spells or potions.

How do I get more mana?

To get more mana, increase your intelligence as you level up, and make sure you have suitable race or birthsign's for spell points / intelligence bonuses.

How do I recharge my mana?
Mana never recharges over time: you must rest to get it back, or drink restore magicka potions. There is no mana restore spell available, so you cannot enchant items with it.

How do I use mark and recall?
Simply cast mark where you want to teleport to, and then cast recall when you want to go back there. You cannot set multiple marks, unfortunately. It is often worthwhile setting your mark to whoever has given you a quest, or just setting a mark to your house or stronghold.

Where can I get the intervention spells?
These can be taken from the Mages' Guild supply chests in scroll form, or the spells can be bought from:
Almsivi: Llathyno Hlaalu in Balmora temple.
Divine: Lalatia Varian, Ebonheart, Imperial Chapel.
There are other locations available, but these are the easiest to find.

How do I levitate more rapidly?
The speed of levitation is proportional to the magnitude of the spell. Your movement speed is also affected by your speed statistic, so a 100 point levitate combined with 100 speed would make you fly very rapidly.
