One of the longer quest chains in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is the𒁏 Mages Guild quest line. If you're a spellcaster, you'll want to join this guild to get al♐l the cool spells in the game and, later on, make some custom spells. The bulk of the quests are the Guild Recommendations.

To get into ꦯthe Arcane University and become a full mage, you'll need to get a recommendation from each city's Mages Guild. Except for Kvatch, because everyone there is quite busy. One of the cities you'll need to get one from is Bravil, where the guild there specializes in Illusion spells.

How To Start The Bravil Recommendation Quest

To start the Bravil Recommendation quest, you'll first need to be part of the Mages Guild. You will need to have a clean criminal record to join. Once you've joined the guild, go to Bravil and head to the Mages Guild there. It's located next to the churꦰch in the area and is a large wooden structure.

Once you're inside, talk to Kud-Ei about the recommendation; you can easily spot her since she's the only Argonian in the guild. She will talk to you about Ardaline, another member of the guild. Her staff was stolen by Varon Vamori, and you're tasked with retrieving the staff.

Kud-Ei will give you a Beguile scroll to help you with the task. The next step is to talk to Varon Vamori. He can be found in the guild from around 8 AM to 10 AM. He 🤪can also be found either in the church, the Silverhomꦐe on the Water Inn, or at his home north of the Guild building.

When you talk to him, pick the dialogue option to talk about Ardaline. You will need to increase his disposition to 65 or higher for him to talk. You can do that by using the Beguile scroll on him. Once he opens up, ask him about the Mage's Staff, then ask about Soris Arenim.

How To Get The Mage's Staff

Once you've learned about the location of Soris Arenim from Varon Vamori, talk to Kud-Ei again.

Once you've talked to her, pick the dialogue option about Soris Arenim, and if you choose the Mage's Staff option🦂 again, she'll give you three Beguile𝔍 Scrolls for him.

Soris Arenim can be found in Imperial City, Talos Plaza District, inside his house. It's ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚnorth of where you spawn when you fast travel the♏re.

Once you're inside, talk to Soris Arenim. You will need to increase his disposition to 70 or higher for him to talk about the staff; he will give it to you for 200 gold.

How To Steal The Mage's Staff

If you don't want to pay him 200 gold, there are other ways of getting the staff. If you talk to his wife, Erisarre Arenim, she'll tell you that the staff is stored in the basement and that the key ▨is inside his desk on the second floor.

Sneak into the second floor by lockpicking the door, then take the 'Soris Arenim's Key' from the desk. You can then use it to open the door to the basement, go there, and look for the Drawers with a Hard Lock, open i♈t with the key, and steal the Mage's Staff.

How To Complete The Bravil Recommendation Quest

Once you've successfully taken the Mage's Staff, either legally or illegally, go back to Bravil and talk to Kud-Ei. Tell her you have the staff, and she will thank and congratulate you for completing the task. She will🅠 then give you the recommendation, completing the Bravil Recommendation quest.

She will also give you the spell for free. The Captivate spell is a touch spell tha🌟t will Charm the target for ten points for ten seconds.

While it is free, the spell itself costs more magic𒁃ka to ca🐎st than when you make a similar one as a custom spell.
