From the official site

"Located high in the Jerall Mountains of Cyrodiil away from prying eyes, this add-on makes the Wizard's Tower, Frostcrag Spire, become available. Packed with numerous useful enhancements, this structure will prove invaluable to magic-oriented characters."

Features

A fully detailed tower to explore.
A breathtaking view of Cyrodiil from the highest point in the land (if the Hero can ever find a time when it's not stormy or overcast up there, which seems independent of the weather below).
Simple furnishings including a bed for leveling up
An indoor botanical garden with alchemical ingredients, including Oblivion-native herbs and a Nirnroot.
Summon Atronach Familiars that obey commands.
Instant teleportation to every Mages Guild in Cyrodiil, except Kvatch.
New Spell and Recharge vendor in the Imperial City.
Upgradable furnishings.
Upgrade to fully functional Enchanting and Spellmaking stations with no need to join the Mages Guild.
Upgrade to a laboratory that increases the Alchemy skill.
A vault with many chests and crates to store items in, guarded by Imps.

Upgrading the Spire

Just inside the entrance, there is a hand pedestal holding the book Frostcrag Spire Memoirs. When read, it reveals that Aurelinwae at the Mystic Emporium in the Market District sells furniture for the Spire.

Quests

Frostcrag Spire

According to a deed that's been delivered to me, I've inherited a property called Frostcrag Spire from a long-lost relative. I've marked its location on my map. At the next opportunity, I should make my way out there and inspect my new acquisition.

Bugs

This section contains bugs related to Wizard's Tower. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:

Please reload an old save to confirm if the bug is still happening.
If the bug is still occurring, please post the bug report with the appropriate system template 360 / XB1 , PS3 / PS4 , PC / MAC , NX / PS5 , XS , depending on which platform(s) the bug has been encountered on.
Be descriptive when listing the bug and fixes, but avoid having conversations in the description and/or using first-person anecdotes: such discussions belong on the appropriate forum board.

There are reports of a particular glitch/bug that makes the atronach's body freeze on spot after its death. This cannot be fixed, but means no harm; one can still summon another one.
PC 360 This DLC appears to conflict with the Fighter's Stronghold plug-in. The Mystic Emporium remains permanently locked after it closes, which means that the only way to buy supplies for Frostcrag Spire is to pick the lock and break in.
- PC (Fix) Picking the door lock then entering the shop turns it back to normal again until the next map change via fast travel and is not considered trespassing if done during opening hours.
- 360 (Fix) A solution for this issue is to install the Wizard's Tower after the Fighter's Stronghold.
