Whether you are slinging spells or wielding steel, you are going to want to know the full list of perks in Elder Scrolls: Blades! Perks are things that are passively enabled to boost your damage, defenses, resistances, and can even upgrade your inventory size.

Warrior and Mages alike will want to focus on upgrading their perks when possible. You can upgrade your spell damage as a Mage, or get more damage out of whatever weapon you are swinging. Perks use the same skill points that you will use to unlock spells and abilities.
