How to get XP quickly as a mage

Overview

This guide will teach you how to level up your mage character quickly, using just two spells!

Introduction + Overall

Welcome to my guide on how to quickly level up your character using magic! This should help you get to level 78 so you can get that damn Legendary achievement! (I’m still struggling). Anyways, enjoy the guide!
Simply use the Healing spell and the Equilibirium spell at the same time.

What’re those spells??

The Healing spell will be in the Magic tab of a new character with any race (unless you’re using some mods). What it does? Heals you. No sh*t Sherlock.

Speaking of Sherlock, the Equilibirium spell is just as difficult to pronounce as Battlefield Counterstrike (if you got that joke, you can be my friend). Anyways, what it does: Takes 25 Health per second from YOU, and converts it into magicka.

What it does

Your Restoration skill will slowly increase, and so will your Alteration skill. Whenever your skills increase, you’ll get XP, allowing you to level up.

Where do I get those spells?

As mentioned before, you will already have the Healing spell. If your character has semi-high Alteration skill, you should be able to buy the Equilibirum spell from a Court Wizard (though I don’t recommend getting your Alteration and Restoration skills up before doing this, read why in the bottom of the guide). If your character does NOT have a high Alteration skill, simply do the Dragonborn questline, and read as many Black Books as possible. You should be able to find the spell book somewhere in the Realm of Apocrypha.

NOTE! DANGER!

That the Equilibirum spell can and will kill you, unless you temporarily stop using it, and only use Healing sometimes.

Optimalisation

I don’t even care wether that is a word or not, but this is optimal if you’re an end game character with low Restoration and Alteration skills, but with a large Health pool. When I say ‘end game’, I just mean a level 30+ character that has completed the Main Story and preferably also the Dragonborn questline, + some other side quests like the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild. Why it’s optimal like this? ‘Cause the lower your skills, the less time it takes to increase them. And the lower your level (30 is quite low TBH), the less XP you need to level up, giving you more skill points to make this work.

Thanks for reading!

I hope this helped you in some way! Have a nice day!

There is another and much better method for when you’re around level 45-80, which will be a LOT more efficient, but I’ll put a link to another of my guides right HERE.
