|---|---|---|
| Alteration | This School concerns itself with magicka's ability to change, often radically, the structure and composition of any object. Unlike the School of Illusion, Alteration deals with actual change, not the appearance of it. | Slowfalling Shield |
| Destruction | Concerned with the purely destructive capabilites of magicka. | Fireball Acidic Field |
| Illusion | Works with magicka in its capacity to camouflage, illuminate, or obscure without changing an object's structure. | Invisibility Light |
| Mysticism | Experiments with the most arcane aspects of magicka and expanding these "accidents" into a useful if eclectic range of spells. Because the forces being manipulated by Mysticism are dangerous and unknown, the spell effects are purposefully specific. | Far Silence Soul Trap |
| Restoration | Devoted to the salubrious and soothing powers of magicka. | Cure Poison Troll's Blood |
| Thaumaturgy | Concentrates on exposing or manipulating known forces and objects within their natural laws. | Levitation Detection |
