The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints

Restoration

  • 1 of 4: One good way to practice this skill is to use a Conjuration spell to summon a bound creature, then hit it four times with a weapon to get it to attack you. Switch to the Healing spell and cast it while dodging around to make sure you don't take damage too fast. When you're out of magicka, either chug some potions to get more or quickly kill the bound creature with a weapon.
  • 2 of 4: Another way to practice is to find a trap in a dungeon that keeps going off every time you step on its pressure plate. Get it to injure you severely, then stand back and use the Healing spell to heal up before repeating the process.
  • 3 of 4: Note that you can catch diseases from traps, so try to find one in a dungeon that's near a major city. That way, you can go use the shrine in the city's temple to cure the disease.
  • 4 of 4: An alternative is to find a body of water deep enough for you to dive into, then stay underwater until your health gets low. Quickly leave the water and cast Healing until you're back at full health, then repeat. (At least you won't catch any diseases that way.)
