Question: While leveling in Skyrim I put a perk in a tree, but now I feel like it is wasted, since I've found blowing things up with spells is much more fun than stabbing things with a giant sword. 

Is there anyway for me to recover the wasted perk? I'm on the PC so I was guessing console commands could help.

Answer: 
If you are on PC, you can use the console to add and remove perks.

**Finding a perk id:**  

help [name of perk] 4  

*help Armsman 4*

**Removing a perk**  

player.removeperk [perk id]  

*player.removeperk 00079342*

**Adding a perk**  

player.addperk [perk id]  

*player.addperk 00079342*

Notes: 

* You can use the PageUp/PageDown keys to scroll the console.
* Use double quotes when searching for a perk with a space: "Steel Smithing" -yx
* The [UESP](http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Template:Skills_in_Skyrim) has the perk id for all the skills. -Mark Trapp
You can get the skill up to 100, make it legendary to make the skill 15 again. The perks you dumped into it will be removed and you can reuse them
