Sacred Purifier

Khajiit - Dagger - Clothing - Mage

Background

Sacred purifiers are priestly characters who specialize in destroying undead. They belong to a loose-knit order affiliated with Arkay, though they disdain hierarchical bureaucracy in favour of action and forthrightness.

This is a pure mage so on harder game difficulties it's very squishy so you need to be mindful of enemies and traps as you can get one shot by them.

---

Weapons

A dagger as a backup weapon but once your gear is enchanted Destruction spells cost no magicka so levelling enchanting should be a priority.

---

Armor

Hooded Monk Robes, Mage Gloves, Monk Boots.

There’s two sets of Hooded Monk Robes and Monk Boots to the South West of the Guardian Stones up a small hill where there's a Shrine of Talos.

---

Spells

Alteration for utility spells and mage armour spells. Destruction for fire based spells and Restoration for heals and spells against undead.

---

Standing Stones

The Mage Stone for skill building and then the Atronach Stone once the Atronach perk is acquired.

---

Shrines

Use a Shrine of Arkay for 25 extra health. It fits for both roleplay purposes and becuase you as squishy and could do with more health.

---

Shouts

Become Ethereal (Fade - Spirit - Bind)

Location: Ironbind Barrow, Lost Valley Redoubt, Ustengrav (The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller).

Can be used as a combo by drinking a potion of fortify destruction, cast Flame Cloak, move to the multiple enemy, shout, cast Firestorm. Pick off what remains while they are in a very weakened state. Works well on lower game difficulties but is risky on higher ones.

Unrelenting Force (Force - Balance - Push)

Location: Just follow the main story quests

Staggers enemies but you can do this by dual casting Destruction spells once you have the Impact perk.

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 Khajiit

Imperials come out top with this build at 25/35 and should be chosen as they worship Arkay. However, I think Khajiit look cool in hooded robes, such as M’aiq the Liar, so I went with them instead.
