There is a lot of magic in the Elder Scroll 5 game. Some spells are offensive, others are defensive, some can spawn in new friends and others still bring old ones back from the dead. But there’s one spell that’s seemingly worthless. Can You Beat Skyrim With Only The Telekinesis Spell?

Can You Beat Skyrim With Only The Telekinesis Spell? (in text form)
The ride into Skyrim was fairly standard, the wagon wasn’t trying to do any summersaults, someone was granted their freedom, and I chose an Argonian as my race for the first time in recorded history. Telekinesis is an Alteration spell and Argonian’s start with 20 in Alteration as well as 20 in Restoration, Sneak, and Light Armor. I incorrectly assumed two of those would be beneficial down the line, I gave myself the worst name possible, Alduin showed up, I escaped into the Keep, not gonna say much about this part as I’ve gotten through this part of Skyrim without attacking anything many times, though I did make sure to snag a bucket before leaving. It’s a surprise tool that will help us later.
Outside, basking in the fresh air, I began my quest to track down the Telekinesis spell. You can’t just buy it right from the beginning of the game, that would be too easy. As the saying goes, the more substantial the reward, the more bigger the risk. With the Mage Stone activated and the domicile of the spell marked on my map, I danced along the road to Riverwood, the power of the cabbage was too much for my fragile frame, I sold what I didn’t need to Lucas Simms, kidnapped a few plants to take them to the big farm in the sky, and continued heading East-South all while casting the Oakflesh spell as often as I could to raise my Alteration skill a bit.
There’s only one location in all of Skyrim where Telekinesis is guaranteed to be found; a cell in Redwater Den, a drug den located at the tip of the whale lake’s tail. I made sure to snag all the vomit buckets to add to my collection, a little bit of someone else’s vomit in your pocket never hurt anyone. Now, predictably, getting into Redwater Den itself was of insignificance to someone as skilled as Skyrim as I am. Problem is, you must unlock an Adept lock and I only had 2 lockpicks. Of course that problem is irrelevant when you introduce quick-saves to my tool belt, but it’s still an annoyance. Once that lock is picked, the drug kingpins and other bowling pins will come to life and attack you for finding their lair. There’s also another Adept lock. Get it the spell, use that level up you saved to restore your health, cover your body in the bark you picked off an imaginary oak tree, flee like your life depends on it, because it does, and you can finally read the book to learn you the Telekinesis spell.
