Leveling up skills inThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remasteredcan be an exercise in patience, especially magic skills like Restoration, since they are limited by how much magicka a character has and what spells they know.
Luckily, there are ways to make the grind go faster by gaming the system and taking advantage of the mechanics Bethesda put in there to the player’s advantage. Here is the optimal way to go from Novice to Master Restoration in under an hour.
How to Level Up Restoration Quickly in Oblivion Remastered
The fastest way to power level is by using custom spells tailor-made for each rank of Restoration. Magic skill experience gain inOblivion Remasteredis directly tied to how much Magicka a spell consumes. So, the goal is to create the most magicka-intensive Restoration custom spell that the player character can cast, and spam it repeatedly. Contrary to logic, it doesn’t matter if the Restoration spell actually ‘restores’ anything. You can cast a ‘Restore Health’ spell at full health, and you will still gain full experience. This is great for power-leveling as you don’t have to worry about finding ways to damage yourself before casting Restoration spells.
In the originalOblivion, players could power level any magic skill by spamming the lowest level spell of that school.Oblivion Remasteredchanges that. Now, magic skills experience gain is tied directly to how much Magicka is consumed for a spell. A spell that costs 100 Magicka will level up the related magic skill 10x faster than one that costs 10 Magicka.
After testing, the optimal spell effect to use when leveling Restoration is ‘Restore Health.’ This comes pre-learned by every character in the game from level 1. After you unlock the Altar of Spellmaking and theability to make custom spells, you may level up Restoration quickly by creating four custom spells, one for each Rank of the Restoration.

To level Restoration from Level 0 to 25, the most optimal way is the one described above. However, for players who do not have access to the Altar of Spellmaking early, the spellHeal Minor Woundsis almost as good.
