Lovecraftian skills or armor? Come on, now.

It's clear that, among many other inspirations, Elder Scrolls has always taken inspiration from HP Lovecraft. All the Herma mora quest lines, for example, play like a Lovecraft novel. I used to love the skills and powers of Miraak/His armor. It would be really cool to see something like that in ESO. Some skill lines that are straight out of weird tales; black tentacles, poison damage, etc, even if its just an armor set power like with Miraaks. It seems like alot of the skills, powers, and armor sets, all generally have the same effect or basis.

Does anyone else long for some more unique skills or armor set effects? Besides how dope the set looked, and how cool his staff was, Miraaks armor having a 20 percent change at expelling black poisonous tentacles every time you were hit was amazing. Something like this?

    Well the newest set Briaheart has something like. If I recall it's like a 20% chance to summon thorns to sap HP or something.

    I agree it would be nice to see more Lovecraftian inspired things in the game. Some kind of sword with an eye in the hilt, perhaps the sword of Hermaeus Mora, that would be very badass.

    I actually want them to make stuff less magical.
    It seems that everywhere I go there are master spellcasters when it shouldn't be like that.

    Mystic Orb seems kinda Lovecraft inspired to me.
