The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
Alteration
1 of 8: Once you get your Alteration skill to 70, talk to Athragar in Chorrol or Abhuki in the Faregyl Inn about "Training" to be referred to Tooth-in-the-Sea.
2 of 8: Start looking for him near the Flooded Mine (location 43 on the Heartlands map).
3 of 8: His small campsite is just east of the Flooded Mine entrance, but he may not be there.
4 of 8: If not, make "Alteration Training" your active quest and follow the green quest arrow to the underwater area where Mr. Tooth hangs out most of the time. (If you wake him up while he's sleeping, he'll just say to join him out there the next day.)
5 of 8: But don't go out there until you're ready to spend three straight hours underwater with him. That's what he'll ask you to do when you talk to him about training (unless you're Argonian).
6 of 8: Go to Tooth-in-the-Sea under the water before 1 pm and agree to wait three hours, then do so.
7 of 8: Note that you can't use the "rest" feature, but will have to just wait while floating near Tooth-in-the-Sea with the game unpaused. You can check the current time by bringing up any map or quest display.
8 of 8: When the time is up, Tooth will talk to you and start offering Alteration training.
