I’m at 100 Intelligence with a total Magicka of 244, but I’m struggling to cast spells because most of them say “Not enough Magicka.” I’ve equipped a few Fortify Magicka sigils on my armor, but it doesn’t seem to be enough. Any tips on how to increase my Magicka capacity further?

You’re spot on! The higher your skill level in the magic school, the less Magicka your spells will cost. So working on that to reduce your costs is essential.
Definitely grab those Fortify Magicka sigil stones when you’re level 17, as they can give you a solid boost of 50 Magicka. Starting off as a Breton or Altmer with the Apprentice or Atronach birthsign can also set you up for success as a mage. They’re not a requirement, but they make the journey easier for sure!
Agreed! The impact of skill levels on spell costs is significant. If you have space in your inventory, try to Fortify the relevant skill to help out right away.
One way to reduce your spell costs is to level up your proficiency in the specific school of magic you’re using. This directly impacts how much Magicka you spend. Also, consider enchanting your gear to enhance your Magicka. If you’re level 17 or higher, look for sigil stones that can provide an extra 50 Magicka. You might want to save your game and try for the best sigil stone available!
True, the star signs can help, but focusing on getting good gear and leveling your skills might be a more flexible approach. The main goal is to have fun experimenting with your build!
