Skyrim was 'personally rebalanced' by producer Jeff Gardiner just 2 weeks before launch: 'Well, I hope this is good' (www.pcgamer.com)

That's what Morrowind is for.

"Wanna be ostensibly a god? Ok! Here, you can levitate and endlessly smoke n'wahs from the heavens. We'll call you Nerevar."

It's so stupid that Morrowind's spell creation system didn't carry on into Oblivion and Skyrim.

True, they'd have been so much better. Though the enchanting hack in Oblivion led to some fun. I don't remember exactly how we used to do it, but you could glitch and artificially inflate your enchant skill and make a bow and set of arrows (that you could dupe glitch later to get more) with like 50,000 combined frost damage, and when you got a hit it would launch the target clear into the sky lol.

Truth be told I didn't care for Skyrim.

What was different in the spellcrafting system from Oblivion to Morrowind?

In Morrowind you could basically make any combo of spells with as strong of a power based on the use type you wanted, as long as you could afford the gold cost (and the mana to actually use it). Oblivion made it super bare bones basic and not nearly as powerful.

Bethesda had a really nice game design in Morrowind. When walking out of Seyda Neen and you see Tarhiel fall out of the sky. When you loot the corpse you find the scrolls of 1000 Acrobatics.

Bethesda is telling the player "Break this game when creating spells".
