Shadowmage Robes

 are a unique set of enchanted clothing worn by Shadowmages. The set does not have gloves. The set works with Mage Armor perk, as it is considered clothing.

Background
Despite its name, the robes are not worn by every Shadowmage; only experienced practitioners, those who mastered at least three spells (given the twisted nature of Shadow Magic) are allowed to wear the robes, as the whole set is potent and likely dangerous to the mage.

Shadowmage Robes
Shadowmage Robes is a piece of clothing and a part of the Shadowmage Robes set.

Acquisition
The robes, along with the rest of the set, are most commonly found on Shadowmages.

Enchantment

 * Fortify Shadow Magic: the spells that fall under the field of Shadow Magic cost less to cast.
 * Fortify Shadow Cloak: Shadow Cloak spell lasts twice as longer and does more damage.

In addition, if the whole set is worn, the robes have a chance to spawn a blast of shadows on hit.

Shadowmage Hood
Shadowmage Hood is a piece of clothing and a part of the Shadowmage Robes set.

Acquisition
The hood is most commonly found on Shadowmages, but not as often as the robes or the boots.

Enchantment

 * Fortify Shadow Siphoning: Shadow Siphoning spell affects a longer range.

Shadowmage Boots
Shadowmage Boots is a piece of clothing and a part of the Shadowmage Robes set.

Acquisition
The boots can be found, along with the rest of the set, on Shadowmages.

Enchantment

 * Fortify Shadow Step: Shadow Step spell no longer costs magicka, allowing unlimited use as long as the boots are equipped.

Trivia

 * The whole set proves to be powerful if one also has Azra's Blessing. As a result, the Shadow Magic spells cost little to no magicka, the Shadowmage is engulfed in shadows and spawns blasts in combat. Additionally, those wearing other enchanted items (jewelry and gloves) may completely negate spell cost (as Shadow Magic spells fall under various schools, notably Illusion and Destruction). Combined with the spells that Shadow Magic has to offer, this makes a Shadowmage an enemy nearly impossible to defeat.
