Oblivion:Spell Effects

A UESPWiki – Sua fonte de The Elder Scrolls desde 1995

The Base Cost values in this table can be used to determine the base cost of spells in the game, using the equation provided on the Spell Making page. (Note, however, that a few built-in spells have arbitrary base costs that are not derived in this manner).

The Barter Factor is the increase a Constant Effect enchantment gives to an object's value per magnitude of the effect. So a Fortify Blunt 10pts enchantment will increase the cost of the item by 1000. Effects without a magnitude, such as Night Eye, Water Breathing, and Water Walking, use a fixed magnitude of 5 for the calculation.

Several other pages also provide information on the spells in Oblivion:

  • Magical Effects provides details on these spell effects.
  • Spells lists all the built-in spells, sorted by school and mastery level
  • Leveled Spells lists the leveled spells that can be received on various quests.
  • List of Spells by Effect lists all the built-in spells, similar to Spells but sorted by effect.
  • See Magic for a comprehensive list of magic-related information.
