Best Skills

Conjuration - Easily her best skill but largely unused since coming to Cyrodiil due to personal association with necromancy and slightly atrophied as a result. Has access to all effects that would be available as default spells.

Alchemy - Mastered it in Daggerfall. Took a sharp hit to her competence initially in Cyrodiil as a result of having to familiarize herself with a new set of flora and a lack of materials and equipment. Learned enough from Cyrodilic alchemy techniques to be able to draw a potion or poison from a single ingredient.

Restoration - Not her best subject in Daggerfall, though she did frequently help in her father's clinic. Her adventures in Cyrodiil have necessitated using it more (and thus becoming better with it) in order to not die, and the crusader's relics augment it even further. All default spells, plus 'on touch' versions of some effects.

Good Skills

Alteration - Not her best magic school, but she's become very competent with it in the last five years. Feather and Open effects are her specialities, but she can put up a decent enough shield and use all other effects except the elemental shields - she's a Breton, why would she care about magic damage?

Destruction - A school which she largely overlooked in her time at Daggerfall, learning only the basics for use when necromancy experiments went really bad (and only taking the need to do this seriously after necromancy was forbidden, meaning she could no longer rely on the battlemages). Showing significant competence in it in Cyrodiil. Frost damage and disintegrating weapons and armour are her specialities, though she also knows spells with damage/drain fatigue, weakness to magic and poison effects and the other two elements. She's skipped most of the straight-up damage/drain stat effects, for the most part.

Speechcraft - This one is pretty much a necessity for Breton high society. Her main technique used to be WOE IS ME I AM SMALL AND DEFENCELESS AND SCARED AND VERY PRETTY. She can still sometimes pull it off even in full armour and covered with the blood of her enemies. Recently, she will instead try the 'the gods want you to do x' route. SADLY EVIL ELF BUDDIES ARE PROBABLY IMMUNE TO BOTH.

Sneak - She used to be a graverobber okay. She has perks up to expert level, being able to run undetected and sneak in armour.

Okay Skills

Illusion - WHY WOULD SHE NEED TO MANIPULATE PEOPLE WITH MAGIC? She has boobs for that okay. She can use Invisibility (but not Chameleon, which is imperfect but lasts compared to Invisibility's perfect but fragile), Light, Night-Eye (which she is almost suspiciously good at) and Silence effects. She is sometimes tempted to use Silence more than she does.

Mysticism - She can use most of the (very few) effects of spells in this school - Detect Life, Dispel, Soul Trap and Telekinesis but only rarely does so. Her most frequent use of Mysticism is Detecting Life (which, again, she is almost suspiciously good at).

Marksman - She's a good enough shot, by Breton high society standards. And she was formally taught to use a bow in her family's attempts to be more like elves. But sadly, she doesn't really have the strength to use a bow brilliantly (read: she's somewhere around the Journeyman level but somehow never gained the apprentice ability to draw the bow without stamina loss). She uses the bow more as a means of poison delivery than an actual weapon.

Light Armour - A combination of her skill at this and ~crusader relics are special~ means that all that armour she wears? Actually light as a feather to her. She didn't know a whole lot about armour in Daggerfall and has learned most of what she knows in Cyrodiil, mostly from the Blades. Pretend they actually could teach her about light armour.

Mercantile - GIVE ME CHEAPER STUFF I'M PRETTY/GIVE ME CHEAPER STUFF I'M SCARED AND VULNERABLE (and pretty)/GIVE ME CHEAPER STUFF I'M TRYING TO SAVE THE FUCKING WORLD DO YOU WANT TO DIE HORRIBLY OR NOT. Her attempts are a bit hit-and-miss, but work well when they do work well.

Athletics - She can run and swim. In full armour, as a result of ~crusader relics are special~ and light armour skill. She doesn't use this skillset much, though, because dude she tamed a unicorn and you expect her to walk anywhere?

Uhhhhhh... Skills

Acrobatics - Okay so dodging things and jumping around are both things that happen in Cyrodiil. They're both things that she would prefer happened less often.

Security - She knows how lockpicks work. But she has the 'Open' skills of the alteration school so NO1CURR ABOUT PICKING LOCKS.

Armourer - Uhhhhh. This is totally irrelevant to her after a certain point because the crusader relics can be insta-repaired.

Blade - SHE TRIES. She understand the importance of. Blades. To the Blades. She'll train with them and ask the other blades for help but the fact remains that she just isn't very good at using them.

Hand to Hand - SHE OFTEN WISHES TO PUNCH PEOPLE. Actually doing it, less so.

NOPE Skills

Block - NOPE. Her version of 'block' is 'shield spell, the entire restoration school, hope for the best'

Blunt - She can be very blunt sometimes, at least.

Heavy Armour - NOOOOOOOPE. She can't even LIFT the stuff.
