Magic Skills and Perks

Casting spells now requires freedom of movement; armor, especially heavy armor, will increase your casting costs. Heavy armor can make most spells uncastable if you do not have the proper training as a battle mage. Weapon weight does not affect spell cost.

Being affected by fire damage increases incoming damage from shock or frost by 25%, being affected by frost damage increases incoming damage from shock or fire by 25%, and being affected by shock damage increases incoming damage from fire or frost by 25%. This goes for you and enemies!

Melee damage is still increased by 15% while casting (you’ll notice the different animation). This goes for you and enemies!

You can regenerate magicka while also losing magicka (only works for flat restoration effects, like from specific gear or perks)

Being invisible 

1. Increases damage by 15% when in combat and not fighting vampires or falmer

2. Decreases incoming ranged damage by 20% when not fighting falmer

3. Decreases incoming damage by 15% when not fighting vampires or falmer

All absorb and drain effects can be resisted by the following and these effects stack multiplicatively

1. Fortify magicka rank 2 (35%)

2. Being undead (35%)

3. Sunfire cloak (35%)

4. Abilities that grant the nolifedrainallowed keyword (35%) (abilities that grant this are rank 4 and 5 ward, and healing aura rank 2, and these effects do not stack together).

5. Stendarr's blessing (35%, and another 35% if "Laid to Rest" is complete)

Scrolls are a great resource for mages and non-mages alike. It’s a good idea to always have a small stockpile of beneficial scrolls handy.

Some dungeons/areas contain special Mysterious Chests that will give you spells that you would otherwise need to get from Dawnguard or Dragonborn content (along with a few spells unique to 3tweaks). You can also buy these tomes from Enthir at the College of Winterhold. You will always get a spell book or item you haven't received yet from these chests, so don't worry about receiving duplicates.
