Demonologist

High Elf - Staff - Clothing - Heavy - Conjurer - Mage

Background

The demonologist is the mightiest or sorcerers, wielding the power of Oblivion and Nirn and capable of conjuring great pillars of flames or storms of electricity. So great is their occult knowledge they can bargain servants from Oblivion into doing their bidding.

This is based on a mage class from a game called Age of Conan, where demonologists are fire and shock mages who can have an incubus or sucubus familiar to give them a slight boost in combat.

---

Weapons

Any Destruction staff as a backup. I made a Daedric Staff of Thunderbolt but never needed to use it.

---

Armor

Heavy armor and Robes or Destruction or Robes of Destruction and Alteration at the start of the game. The final gear is a mask of Almalexia, Mythic Dawn Robes, Daedric Boots and Gauntlets.

The Mask of Almalexia from the Ghosts of the Tribunal creation. Start this quest chain by reading the journal in the Temple at Raven Rock on Sosltheim.

The Mythic Dawn robes can be acquired during the Cause creation quests. A courier will give you a note when you are mid 40s. You can get one before thisat Red Scar Cavern to the west of Champion’s Rest in the Rift, as there is a Mythic Dawn member on guard outside the cavern.

The Daedric Boots and Gauntlets start spawning on higher level bandit bosses but you can craft them if you have some Daedra Hearts and Ebony Ingots with the Daedric Smithing perk. I crafted mine as there's a Daedric Heart near Kodlac's room in Jorvaskyr in Whiterun. Carry it down the hall to the entrance away from where most of the NPC are and then go into stealth and finally take the heart when no one is watching. It respawns after some time so get your first one early.

Spells

Alteration for Utility spells, Destruction for fire and shock spells, Conjuration for Dremora Lords and Restoration for heals.

---

Standing Stones

Use the Lord Stone for the 50 armor rating and 25% magic resistance.

---

Shrines

Use a Shrine of Talos for the 20% reduction to shout cooldowns.

---

Shouts

Dismay (Fear - Run - Terror)

Location: Dead Crone Rock, Lost Tongue Overlook, Shalidor’s Maze

Causes enemies up to level 24 to flee for 30 seconds. Quick to activate over say using Hysteria.

Whirlwind Sprint (Whirlwind - Fury - Tempest)

Location: Dead Men’s Respite, Volskygge, High Hrothgar (The Way of the Voice)

Use to reach otherwise inaccessible places and to quickly evade attacks or catch up with fleeing enemies.

Character Creation

Female High Elf

Pick female as the sex for your character as there are more male humanoids than females to fight in Skyrim so the 10% damage bonus against the opposite sex from Agent of Dibella gets more use. All Dwemer Automatons count as Male.
