If you want to level Destruction get a CORRODE ARMOR or CORRODE WEAPON effect on self, instead of self damage.

You don’t die.

You also get to level up Armorer at the same time. Combo’s great with your 3 second “Fortify Armorer” spell to minimize the hammers you break along the way.
If you just want to level up Armorer, you can enchant some apparel (a ring, for example) with the Disintegrate Weapon/Armor effect, and it will damage your gear every time you equip this ring… so just spam equipping/removing the ring in your inventory until all your gear breaks for optimal Armorer EXP gains.
Spell casting hints: Weakness to Magic 100% for 6 seconds, and a Absorb Fatigue 5 pts for 6 seconds. When you spam it, it will trigger the weakness and double it to 10 pts.
It’s a style of casting that works better the more you cast then on the enemy.
I find these simple exploits of game mechanics funny. Do you have any others (in Oblivion or other RPGs)?

Skyrim’s followers have a maximum carry weight and won’t let you trade them any items after they exceed it. That is, if you TRADE them the items! You can just Hold E/talk to them and go into interaction mode and order them to pick up things from the ground. They will happily do so without complains regardless of their carry weight status, extremely helpful for collecting a bunch of dwemer junk to smelt down into ingots for smithing - those things are heavy!
