7 schools of magic?

Anyone think that there is a chances of this being added during a magic dlc during the 3rd and 4th quarter? I'm a bit disappointed that spell crafting is on the back burner but I could live with it if they added the school of magic before. I don't even need all seven at once, even just 1 line per dlc to slowly be added would be great. Like if dark brotherhood added illusion that would be awsome.
Similar to weapon skills, have about 50 levels per school and a perk tree to compare to current weapons. This would make the game super enjoyable as then I'd be able to make my character exactly how'd id want them. Classes could truly be that "template" from how they wanted them, and then we could venture to whatever we wanted.
Would anyone else like this while on the wait for spell crafting? Whatever the case may be its been 2 years with not one new combat skill being added.

✭✭✭✭✭Personally, I think a few schools could be added as Weapon Skill Lines in this game
We alrdy have:
- Destruction
- Restoration
Next, there are 2 schools that could be implemented as weapons too:
- Illusion: NB Shadow skill line (<3) and unused weapon (Illusionist NPCs and Abnur Tharn use those)
- Alteration: potential Magicka Tank Weapon skill, similar to Sword & Shield
Conjuration wasn't a mainstream school until the end of the 3rd era: it was practiced by hedge mages mostly (Daedric Summoning)
Necromancy: banned in many provinces, again practiced illegally by necromancers
Thaumaturge: added to Alteration
Mysticism: Soul Magic (necromancy could be viewed as the dark side of Mysticism)
And the crafting skills Enchanting and Alchemy."We're all born under the same sky and on the same earth. Therefore, we all deserve the same amount of respect."

Conjuration is the art of calling forth creatures from Oblivion like Atronachs, Dremora, etc...
Necromancy is the dark use of Mysticism, created by Mannimarco. He studied Mysticism along with Vanus Galerion at the Psijic Order, but the King of Worms used it to control the flow of life and death. Mysticism contains spells like that (Soul Trap)
During the time of Skyrim, when Mysticism was no longer recognized as a school of magic, the spells were added to Conjuration"We're all born under the same sky and on the same earth. Therefore, we all deserve the same amount of respect."

I was thinking the exact same thing. Each DLC includes the mages guild search for relevant spells to craft, thus incrementally introducing spellcrafting.0 -

You seem to be arguing a completely different point. The OP wants to be able to use spells from various schools of magic without being restricted to weapon (resto staff for resto spells, destro staff for destruction spells). Tryxus is suggesting that Destruction and Restoration skill lines are already in game. The fact that specific weapon types are required for the respective ability lines supports the assertion that these are inherent weapon attributes rather than being spells from one of the schools of magic. Additionally supporting this is that you cannot use those skill lines when using 2H or DW.0 -

I believe ZOS was always planning for spellcrafting to be a system rather than DLC. They could still use an incremental approach coordinated with each DLC (while not being locked to DLC content).0 -

✭✭✭✭✭The skill lines in the core TES series seem to be somewhat distributed between other skill lines in ESO. Many of the skills that we all have can be seen as aspects of the various schools of magic. I don't know if narratively the Mages Guild have refined the schools of magic in this era. You can also see this in other skill lines like Speechcraft.
hmm.. Interesting thought. What if you could choose to be a dedicated destruction mage or restoration mage and then you get access to the respective skills from across all the different skills.What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.

I'm not entirely sure either. If so, then spellcrafting could be easily introduced (from a existing lore standpoint). If not, this could potentially be the era when the Mages Guild seeks to do so (by sending players out to scour Tamriel for magic tablets)!!!0 -

For sure, but the people with these spells also got labeled "Necromancers" and even a quest where you get taught Necromancy spells but it's just a summoning spell. Based on that, I think it's more of a mechanics issue than a "not real necromancy" issue.Men'Do PC NA AD Khajiit

@Elhanan @Gidorick There's a book about this in-game (part of the Magic and Magicka collection), which states that the Mages Guild has not yet created the Schools (but that they do exist at Shad Astula). A nice Easter Egg in the same book is the foreshadowing of the future removal of the two schools that were removed.

On spellcrafting, I think you're probably right; when it was first mentioned by ZOS they said how it would be in relation to the schools of magic, so I think the storyline behind any spellcrafting content would revolve around introducing the schools of magic to the Guild.Edited by Enodoc on January 30, 2016 7:12PMUESP: The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages - A collaborative source for all knowledge on the Elder Scrolls series since 1995

Don't be such a downer. Also not spell crafting but a prelude to it. Just a line of magic for some of the schools. To open up some new abilities and tons of options. As well as some just for fun spells such as water walking0 -

✭✭✭✭I think the biggest issue currently is balance and the issues in general facing the game. I can imagine as a Developer things like the 7 Schools of Magic being a low priority. Especially since they would inevitably create more balance issues. Its better to add something like that to the system once its been smoothed out than to throw it in when the balance is still a chaotic ocean in the midst of a hurricane.
I'd love to see this in game as it would enrich the game world overall and add depth to what ends up being quite a static world once your character passes through an area. I just dont think its a Year 3 thing.
Most MMOs are in turmoil for the first few years after its release as it finds its place in the market and smooths out all the wrinkles left over from development and launch. I can see 7 Schools of Magic being something added to the game in the next few years. But I would be shocked to see it any time in the next 3 quarters.Penniless Sellsword CompanyCaptain Paramount - Jorrhaq VhentKorith Eaglecry * Enrerion Aedihle * Laerinel Rhaev * Caius Berilius * Seylina Ithvala * H'Vak the GrimjawlTenarei Rhaev * Dazsh Ro Khar * Yynril Rothvani * Bathes-In-Coin * Anaelle Faerniil * Azjani Ma'LesAban Shahid Bakr * Kheshna gra-Gharbuk * Gallisten Bondurant * Etain Maquier * Atsu Kalame * Faulpia SeverinusWhat is better, to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort? - Paarthurnax0 -

This is a common misconception. Adding skill lines can add balance to current classes. Take Vigor for example. That skill alone made stamina builds viable after update 1.6.0 -
