Alteration

Alteration

	Alteration is a school of magic that offers many different types of utility and support spells. In Skyrim: Online, it is the school of magic that receives the most out of the new spells, as many Shouts get replaced by new alteration spells.
	In PvP, the Alteration skill can be equipped for a class, and can be upgraded from novice to master. Novice alteration
 grants 10% less magic cost for alteration spells. Apprentice alteration allows a 10% longer spell duration for alteration spells. Adept alteration allows dual wielding of alteration spells, which overcharges the spell and, for the most part, increases its duration. Expert alteration grants a passive 10% magic absorbtion from enemy spells. Master Alteration allows a 20% less magic cost for master alteration spells.

Dual Casting Bonus: Dual casting with adept alteration will make most alteration spells (besides master spells) that are dual wielded become one spell that costs x2.5 more than normal and will last twice as long. For spells that do not have a lasting effect, the potency is instead doubled. These spells are: Equilibrium, Telekinesis (doubles the launching power), Whirlwind Sprint (increases the length to be akin to the distance of the third word shout), and Disarm (doubles the base chance to work).

Mage Armor Bonus: In all game modes, armor increasing spells like Oakflesh operate as if the user has the maximum upgraded Mage Armor perk equipped. This means that the base armor rating that these spells provide is tripled when the user is equipped with only mage armor. Mixed mage armor does no apply for the bonus.

Novice:
>Oakflesh: Adds 50 armor rating. 103 magika
>Equilibrium: No change, but now is listed as a novice spell. 0 magika

Adept:

>Detect Life: Detects enemy life.
>Telekinesis: Now also affects enemies when targeted, causing them to have a purple hue. When affected, any one projectile launched from the target will be placed safely in front of the user, who can then release it at the same velocity it was initially launched (only one projectile per use). Additionally, releasing the spell can cause a parry when timed right, but only when the user does not have anything being held. If the user is interrupted (like if magika ran out or staggered) when holding a projectile with a set velocity, the projectile will backfire and launch directly into the user. Decreased cost to 150 per second.
