* 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 inherited from the Magic Effect, 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. Be careful, you ''can'' unintentionally modify vanilla spells due to this. | * 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).

* Disabling '''Auto Calculate''' in order to manually set a magicka cost 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. | * Disabling '''Auto Calculate''' in order to manually set a magicka cost 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.

* The spell cost for spells with '''Auto Calculate''' turned on is calculated at save-time, not at run-time. This means that if you modify the Base Cost of a Magic Effect for a spell that's not present in your mod (e.g., if you're modifying a built-in spell), it will have no effect. You must deliberately create a dirty mod by editing the spell in some way, then putting it back, which will force the new cost of the spell to be included in your mod. | |||
