What is the best spell in Oblivion

1. the best spell is under your condition. You can go to the arcane university(must get all recommendations from all of cyrondills mages guilds) and make a spell. but you just can't choose how good you want it to be. if u choose it to the max there will be requirements you'll have to do to use them..lets say u want a fire spell that does 100 fire damage for 100 seconds and for 100 feet. it would cost u a lot of money and you would need lvl 100 distruction.

2. you can make nice spells from the arcane university, but the cost is too high, and for the 100 damage/seconds/feet fireball it cost about 450,000. when i got it, i had about 55,000 magicka and you need 140,000 magicka which is impossible no matter what level 55k is the max out... from my experience Fingers of the Mountain is the best spell... the final level does 200+ damage too 100ft and one shots most mobs. it costs about 3500 magicka. the only mod you need to fight is a storm atr. :]


3. the best spell iv found is pretty cheap to make uses a low magicka, its perfect for lower level characters, make a spell that's drain life 100damage for 1sec then add fire,ice and electric damage around 40 each is enough. I use this spell with touch making it alot cheaper.I have a problem while fighting undead creatures like zombies and skeletons in that the spell wont affect them until you cause physical damage to them first i.e. just punch them then cast the spell. its sorta a cheating way to get a kill but it works
