Close Wounds instantly gives the Dragonborn health points. Since it doesn't take time to charge like Healing, it's a nice burst spell to use mid-combat as well. A powerful Destruction spell of the fire kind, it's an Expert-level skill for a good reason.
It does 60 points of damage, and anyone hit will take additional fire damage over time. The Magicka cost is quite impressive at Magicka points, but by this point, the player should be a specialist in any case.
The real utility of this spell also comes from the fact that with the right perks, it can stagger all enemies or all size. This is insanely useful in combat. Simply unlock Augmented Flames and Impact in the Destruction skill tree to reap the maximum benefits. The icy counterpart of Incinerate is the Icy Spear spell. The reason why fire and frost are listed here over shock is because shock is a more situational element, useful exclusively against enemies that rely on their Magicka to attack the Dragonborn.
Most generic enemies, however, will not be Magicka users. Icy Spear also has the ability to stagger if the right perks are unlocked Impact and Augmented Frost. It does 60 points of damage to both health and stamina, meaning it will significantly slow down enemies. Players might be surprised to see Oakflesh here before Ebonyflesh and others of its kind, but the reason for that is that Oakflesh is a fantastic starting Alteration spell. Given that Alteration is one of the hardest trees to level up, casting Oakflesh is arguably the best way to level it up.
It's easy to get, though costly to cast. Any mage can grab this spell and add some points into Alteration as a result. Cast it at the beginning of any fight when facing off against melee enemies. It ups the caster's armor by 40 points for a minute, which should be enough to take down any enemies while reaping maximum benefits from the spell itself.
This makes up for its high casting price. The only way to get Arniel's Convection is through the sidequest Arniel's Endeavor. It's so mighty that it burns opponents for a single fire damage a second, which might not sound like a lot initially. However, there are other perks to it to keep in mind.
What makes Arniel's Convection so strong is that it costs zero magicka to cast. This means it can still be powered up to deal more damage using various Destruction Spell Perks to actually deal significant damage but costs nothing to cast.
It also increases burn damage taken on enemies when used, making it awesome for dual-wielding with a weapon that deals fire damage. What about having the shout in protective spell form? Whirlwind Cloak is amazing for keeping archers or mages safe if the opponent gets in too close. Plus, it can lead to some hilarity for melee characters as they send opponents flying out of nowhere.
Though this spell may lack the consistency of Unrelenting Force, it doesn't have the cooldown time the shout has either. It's hard to die if players barely take any damage. Still, it can sometimes be a pain to wear pesky heavy armor. Fortunately, with spells like Dragonhide, a skilled mage doesn't need to worry. Spells being sold are based on your level, I do believe. I get some higher-level spells even though I'm not a caster. Hmmm I think the spells available for purchase depends on your skill level.

I've been playing as a mage for the first time! I'm having a hard time finding more spells than what are currently being offered in the stores.
Will vendors offer better spells as I level up? Or do I need to find the books somewhere? Thanks for the help guys. User Info: TheSloppyBanker. If you are completely new to the game, don't hesitate to go into settings and change the difficulty. When someone online tells you that a build is comparatively weak, they are probably basing this on the highest difficulty setting and assuming you optimize your build.
A pure destruction mage is perfectly viable and kills everything sufficiently fast, just maybe not on the highest difficulty setting. At least that has been my experience with a pure mage, though I haven't reached end game with it yet. The mage can take a little while to ramp up, though. If you combine a follower with either conjuration or illusion, this should keep most enemies from ever hitting you.
For example, hang back and let your follower or conjured beast shield you from the enemy. You can then use your most efficient destruction magic to add to the damage of your follower and kill most enemies quickly enough without running out of magicka. As you level up, get more magicka points, and fill in the perks to increase destruction damage and decrease magicka cost, then it gets easier.
Also, early on, the starting spell Flames is probably your best bet anyway for outputting destruction magic damage. I think it will always be the most efficient damage spell unless the enemy is resistant to flame and very few are. Even when you get more advanced spells, none are more efficient than the base level Flames spell -- they do damage more quickly or to a wider area, but at the expense of comparatively more magicka.
