I am a great and powerful Bloodmage. I shall meditate on the corpses of 10,000 Greydwarves.

Mostly because I have no other choice if I want my skill at a reasonable level.
I could never get into magic with Valheim. It just feels so unnatural to play mage in the world that I can't bring myself to do it.
Honestly, I'm not terribly impressed with the magic. We're experiencing the Ashlands for the first time (kinda late to that party) and running a pure mage has been a bit painful. I'm in the "fully" upgraded Embla set (there is an upgrade step which is locked behind the content wall) and I'm still incredibly squishy. Part of the reason I'm doing the greydwarf spawner training is to make my bubble last more than one hit from an asksvin. And also to have my skeletons be able to withstand more than a strong breeze. While I don't expect to be able to tank a two star Morgen, even no star asksvins still hit like a truck.
Assuming we finish up this run before The Deep North drops, I'll skip the magic on the next playthrough. We basically never go back to a previous playthrough when returning after a long break.
