Editing Magic Effect (section)

====Magic Item Description====
A description of the Effect. This description will appear:
* In the Magic Menu's Active Effects list, whenever this Effect affects the player.
* In the description of any [[Spell]], [[Enchantment]], [[Potion]], [[Scroll]], or [[Shout]] that uses the Effect, unless that item has a description of its own (which overrides any inherited descriptions).

This text field supports text replacement tags similar to [[Text Replacement|those found in quest text]]. Text replacement tags will be displayed as bold text.

;&lt;mag&gt;
: The effect's magnitude. If the effect has been flagged as having no magnitude, then nothing is displayed.
;&lt;dur&gt;
: The effect's duration. If the effect has been flagged as having no duration, then nothing is displayed.
;&lt;area&gt;
: The effect's area. If the effect has been flagged as having no area, then nothing is displayed.
;&lt;global=''EditorID''&gt;
: The current value of the [[Global]] with the given editor ID. If no such global exists, then nothing is displayed. (Writing "&lt;global&gt;" has the same effect as failing to specify a valid global: nothing is displayed.)

This is the same basic syntax as [[Text Replacement|quest text replacement]]: <code>&lt;Tag.Subtag=Parameter&gt;</code>, where the "subtag" and "parameter" are optional (and ignored) unless noted above. When an unrecognized tag is encountered, the tag name is displayed in bold, but the subtag name and parameter are thrown away. This means that you can bold any text you want inside of an effect description, but only if that text doesn't contain a period (which denotes a subtag) or an equal sign (which denotes a parameter). For example, <code>&lt;Hello, Dragonborn. How are you?&gt;</code> will be rendered as "'''Hello, Dragonborn'''" in bold, while <code>&lt;Hello, Dragonborn&gt;. &lt;How are you?&gt;</code> will be rendered as "'''Hello, Dragonborn'''. '''How are you?'''" Similarly, <code>&lt;E = MC squared&gt;</code> should be rendered as "'''E '''", while <code>&lt;E&gt; = &lt;MC squared&gt;</code> should be rendered as "'''E''' = '''MC squared'''".
