i completed the finger of the mountain quest and got a spell that does 200 damage but requires 2000 magicka to use it!!!! whats the point of that as i cant ever see me getting that much magicka together to be able to use it no matter what my lvl... am i doing something wrong? is it a glitch? is there a way to get that much magicka?
Olav is correct, its a bug and even if you do get your destruction to 100 and lower the spells cost it still costs about 700 magicka. If you do that quest at too high a lvl you get a useless spell (as I did and you obviously did too). And once again Olav mentioned a lower lvl character finishing the quest yeilds a castable spell.
