yes I'm playing Atronach and it has been tricky, a lot of micromanagement of spellcasting. But even basic spells are so powerful that it's a nice balancing mechanic to me. My character is also super weak physically so if I don't hit the right order of restore fatigue >> paralyze >> destroy I get wrecked haha.

Game changer was enchanting a ring with Summon Ancestral Ghost, so it costs no magicka to cast, and if you hit the ghost it shoots fireballs at you which you mostly absorb to regain magicka. So that's a good battery while out in the wild, until I can get back to a temple for Almsivi Restoration.

So many mechanics to navigate, so fun!!
