Sounds like you're in the same boat as I was - high endurance and
level, low intelligence I had to set my "constant" spell on heal
*minor* wounds and keep hitting the C button constantly as I travelled.


Then, one day at a high level (about 19 or 20 or so) I decided I had
enough of this and cleaned out an Oblivion Gate with the express
purpose of getting a specific Sigal Stone. It took about 10 reloads,
but I finally got the stone that absorbs 30 points of healt per hit
when enchanted into a sword I named "GiveMeYourHitPoints."

Just after I enchanted my "hit points" sword, this one solved itself as
well. At about level 25 or so, each and every Sorcerer or Conjurer or
Necromancer you kill seems to have at LEAST 2-3 "Strong Heal Wounds"
potions on their bodies, each of which heals 50 points of damage.

the moment

I have looked in every city. I find no where to get a better heal
spell. I don't expect one that will replenish all my health at once
but I would at least like to find one that could bring back a quarter.
Having to cast the same spell 10-12 times is almost enough to make me
quit. That is tedious. I got the game to have fun. This is not fun.

How does that realy work? I mean, if you have a sword like that, and come
aross a rat or something easy, and swing once, do you get any health? I can
kill a rat with one swing, no power attack, always been like that. But,
dosnt that mean that if the absorb health weapon hits the rat then there
will be no health left for me to absorb, because the sword damage has
already killed it?
Also, what if you have this absorb 30pts health, but come across something
that doesnt have 30pts of health (a rat or crab is my guess on this). Do you
still absorb 30pts of health? Hehehe, i think im asking the same qestion!?

You should be looking in the chapels. Each church has a spell vendor,
many of whom will have a better healing spell. Bear in mind that they'll
only sell during business hours, though, so if you get there too early
or late you don't get the option to buy. 9am is usually the best time to
find everyone there.

If you have access to an Altar of Spellmaking, create a custom spell
that will Restore 3 or more hit points for 120 seconds (I think that's
the max time for a custom spell). Just casting it once should be
enough to restore most of your character's hit points, though it will
take awhile to do it. Also since you're not restoring alot of hit
points at one time, you should be able to cast the spell at a lower
Restoration skill level than with a spell that restores health faster.
Also such a spell is really useful if you cast it before your
character engages in combat.


That's my 2¢,

There is a solution for locks........

.. One of the Daedric shrine quests (Meridiana) gives you an unbreakable
Skeleton key on completion that will allow you to defeat any lock in the
game (except for the "you need a key" ones).

This makes a whole lot of difference if your security skills aren't that
high or you just can't be arsed collecting lockpicks and messing with the
mini game.

If you normally just stand there swinging away, try blocking and dodging
more so you don't get hurt as much, then you won't have to heal as much.

Plus, if you keep casting the spell, eventually your Restoration skill will
go up and you will be able to cast better heal spells.
