* If '''Auto Calculate''' is checked, then the Area field in the spell's Magic Effects in the Effect List will be grayed out even if the Magic Effect does indeed have an area specified and does not have '''No Area''' checked. In the grayed out field is the correct area, but when you Ok out of the Effect List, the area will get set to 0. Saving in this state does cause the spell to have an area of 0. To prevent this, either disable '''Auto Calculate''' or simply open and close the Spell dialog before saving.

* Setting a magicka cost here is not a good substitute for specifying a magicka cost in the Magic Effect unless the spell is not meant to be used by the player. This is because experience gain depends on the '''Base Cost''' of the spell's Magic Effect, multiplied by its '''Skill Usage Mult'''. If the magicka cost is off to such a degree that you want to enter a sensible value manually, the experience gain will most likely also be off.
