Blocking spells.

In restoration staff theres a passive that lets you absorb magicka from blocking spells.
But how exactly do you block spells? Been blocking spells like you would melee attacks but doesnt seem to do an awfull lot.

JJDrakken✭✭✭I always wondered that myself. I am starting to wonder about much of their thought pattern when this game was made.
Are large amounts of coke, weed, LSD, & booze used in the processes?Edited by JJDrakken on April 23, 2014 9:08PM0 -

✭Right click, will put you in block mode no matter what weapon you are using.
If you have a shield, you block more, but you can block with any weapon, it just does not block much.
When using a restoration staff and you have that passive, and you right click (block mode) as the spell hits you. You get damaged (but less then the full hit) and some mana.
Still, its better to GET out of the way of the spell, then get the mana
Blocking without a shield (in this case with a staff) saves about 5% damage, and the mana you get from this passive will not be enough to heal you from the damage you just got (if at veteran level) so the passive is useless.
You get more mana by moving out of the way, and attacking the mob with a heavy hit (which gives you mana but it not 'written' anywhere)Edited by Natjur on April 23, 2014 9:51PM1 -
liquid_wolf✭✭✭✭After buying this spell, I started blocking mages/medics NPCs in Cyrodiil an noticed they don't insta-gib you if block their ranged attacks.
Still hurt, but you actually have enough time to back off.
I do notice an increase in magicka when I get hit by a spell.
I do wonder... If it is an AoE spell, and you block while in it... is the damage reduced, and do you get mana because of the passive?0
