Student

The Student, a Breton conjurer, can be randomly encountered in or near any major settlement (except Orc Strongholds or the College of Winterhold) after you have learned a Ward spell. As soon as the student sees you, he will ask for a simple task. He seems to see you as his hero, and simply wishes to learn how a ward spell works to improve his chances of joining the College. If you accept the student's request, he will instruct you to cast a ward spell and will then cast his own spell against your ward.

He wears leveled black mage robes, possibly hooded and/or enchanted, along with a pair of boots. He wields a leveled staff coupled with a possibly enchanted dagger that can be up to Daedric in quality, and carries random warlock items and two random copies of atronach forge recipes, one of which is written in the Daedric alphabet. He knows the spells Lesser Ward, Flames, Oakflesh, and Conjure Flame Atronach.

Quest-Related Dialogue[edit]

He will run up to you excitedly, greeting you with:

"I've finally found you! I want to join the College of Winterhold. But I need help with my wards. Can you teach me?"
Sure, I can teach you.
"Really? Great! Okay. So, first, you raise your ward and I'll throw a little spell at it. That way I can see the 'right' way to do things."
Maybe some other time.
"Oh. All right... I guess I'll just keep practicing on my own. Sorry to bother you."

If you offer to help him, he will prepare his spell, telling you:

"Get your ward ready."

If you have not readied your ward:

"Come on. I don't want to hit you until you have your ward ready."

Once you've cast a ward:

"Great! Now I'm going to cast some spells at you. Keep your ward up so I can study it."

As he casts a spell against your ward, usually Flames:

"I think I see what I was doing wrong... All right. That should do it. I think I'm ready to try the College again. Thanks!"

Notes[edit]

  • His spell has a random combination of effects.
  • You do not need to be a member of the College of Winterhold to encounter the student.

Bugs[edit]

  • Sometimes, when accepting the student's request, he will get stuck in a loop, attacking you with his spell continuously.
    • A possible fix to this is to move around a little bit with your ward(s) up.
  • The student may get attacked by the guards and NPCs that you have helped upon attacking you if encountered in Whiterun and Riften.
  • Despite being able to view the items in the student's inventory, you cannot successfully pickpocket the items. The pickpocket attempt may seem successful; however, the items stolen will not appear in your inventory afterwards. ?
