finger of the mountain, useless spell Options

[Uroy]

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?

Rhumor was correct - you can get both the spell and the recommendation. In relation to its effectivess, i got it at lvl 2 and for the cost (7) you get a spell that does 6pts of damage over an area. not much, but when your broke and need to fight fire resistant creatures (like everything in the silly oblivion gates) it comes in handy. and with its casting speed you can hit them 3-4 times before they reach you. It came in handy for me, anyways

Of course i play on the 360, so mods are out of the question for me, and i usualy role play rather than power-level, and gold is hard to come by so spells arent a dime a dozen. so any extra AOE spell i can grab comes in handy
