I used my spell of Recall and found myself on the top floor of the Chorral Mages Guild offices. I sharpened my blade and re-charged its life-absorbing spell.

I decided to test all the spells I had recently purchased and learned. This was as good a place as any, and it was very private up here, with no one to bother me.

I practiced summoning a daedroth...

...A dremora and a dremora lord...

...A wraith and a gloom wraith...

...A flame atronach...

...A frost atronach...

...A storm atronach...

...A ghost...

...A zombie and a headless zombie...

...A lich...

...A scamp...

...The Bones Brothers (consisting of a skeleton, skeleton warrior, skeleton guardian, and a skeleton champion)...

...A daedra spider...

...A clanfear...

...and finally a full set of daedric armor. Normally very heavy, summoned armor has no weight. This spell would come in very handy once I find something that can be charmed with constant effect to bring it forth. Otherwise, it would last for about sixty seconds.

I was very proud of myself, learning all these new skills. I felt I was more than prepared for anything that I might come across. Using my invisibility spell, I ran all the way back to the Imperial City, collapsed in my bed at my hotel room and had a really good sleep. Perhaps tomorrow, Tar-Meena might have some good news for me.
