By using Thief and Mage features, this race has favored skills in Destruction, Illusion, Sneak, Alteration, Alchemy and Light Armor. Their Racial Power, Dragonskin, allows this race to absorb 50 percent of the Magicka from incoming spells for 60 seconds.ĭark Elves are one of the few races that are best used when focusing on two playstyles.
