The series' commonly-appearing Mages Guild questline is entirely absent from Skyrim. Instead, the College of Winterhold serves as its replacement.

However, there are several structural differences between the two, and magic is overall viewed less favorably by characters in Skyrim than in previous titles. Still, though, it can serve as a powerful tool and weapon for the Dragonborn to utilize. Soul Gems are a necessary prerequisite for enchantments, but the Dragonborn must fill them with a soul before players can utilize them.
