Question and insights welcomed about Nightblades and roleplaying them...

Eporem

where could they have learnt their shadow and siphoning skills from - for shadow can it be from a school of illusion?

Much thanks

Schools of magic aren't real. The mages guild created them to teach classes easier. Magic is Magic

Maybe learned from a vampire

Nightblades have their basis in shadowmagic. There have been several forum threads discussing this (beware .... this forum's search engine leaves a lot to be desired). You can also find some information here: en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Shadow_Magic

Hope this helps.

My magblade rps a master wizard from the mages guild. The shadow magic is played off as a mixture of illusion and mysticism.

The blood magic is from his connections to the dark brotherhood and Sangiin, the khajiit aspect of sanguine, who is his patron deity.

I roleplay my Argonian Shadowscale NB, is a Blood Mage. Many of the spells do exactly what a Blood Mage can do.
