Bugs[edit]

  • Sorcerers have a mismatch between their skills and spells: despite having Conjuration and Mysticism as major skills, they do not possess Mysticism spells, and Conjuration spells are only up to apprentice level. Furthermore, they do not have Illusion as a major skill, which means they can never cast higher-leveled Illusion spells.
    • PC Only The Unofficial Oblivion Patch, version 3.5.1, addresses this issue. The Illusion major spell is replaced with a Mysticism major spell. The Atronach Birthsign is also removed.
