Difference between revisions of "Magic Effect"

**'''Target Actor:''' Effect is immediately applied to an [[:Category:Actor|Actor]] in the crosshairs. No projectile is fired. Note that the aim is off in third person view, making it very difficult to use at a distance.

*'''Detrimental:''' This Effect is applied as a negative value (damage) to the specified [[Actor Value]]. Note that not all technically harmful Effects need this checked. God Mode prevents "detrimental" Effects from working on the player.

*'''Recover:''' When this Effect expires, the attribute returns to its previous state. If checked, Value Modifier and Peak Value Modifier archetypes will modify their actor value once at the start, then modify it back once the Effect expires; if unchecked, the actor value will get modified every second and will not be reset at the end. Note that for Magicka and Health, this works as follows: If checked, the Maximum and Current values are changed (buff/debuff). If unchecked, only current value is affected (heal/damage).

*'''Painless:''' If checked and the spell is Hostile, the target of this effect does not cry out in pain. If the target is the player, prevents the hit blur and ouch sound.

|Does up to <MAG> damage to the target's attribute, and restores the caster's attribute by the amount of damage done. If not "detrimental", will instead drain the caster to replenish the target.

|Linked to ward charging mechanic. Grants up to <MAG> of a chosen actor value, but starts at 0 and increases over time.

|Banishes Summoned Actors up to level <MAG>.

|Lowers the Aggression of a target up to level <MAG> to minimum.

|Lowers the Confidence of a target up to level <MAG> to minimum.

|Removes magic effects with a duration from the target. <MAG> seems to be unused.

|Maxes the Aggression of a target up to level <MAG>.

|Can pick up and throw selected NPC. Used by Vampiric Grip. Doesn't effect Dragons, Mammoths, Dragon Priests, Mistmen, Bonemen, Wrathmen and Skeletons. Distance at which the target is held is based on the GrabActorOffset actor value of the caster.

|Causes the target to become invisible. This effect is automatically dispelled when the invisibility is broken. Note that invisibility does not mean inaudibility and any magic effect that isn't silent will in fact continuously emit noise until Quiet Casting is taken.

|Locks the target. Note: it is actually impossible to target objects, making this archetype more or less useless. The only effect that can target objects is Script.

|Paralyzes the target. Make sure to include a condition in your effect that checks for the ImmuneParalysis keyword. This archetype only works if the 'Recover' flag is set. This will also set the boolean actor value Paralyze to 1 to prevent movement.

|Maxes the Confidence of a target up to level <MAG>.

|Creates the specified [[Hazard]] object at the target. The hazard is owned by the caster (meaning it will only hit enemies) and the hazard spell scales with the magnitude of the spawn spell. If you want the hazard to hit allies, you need a script to PlaceAtMe the hazard object, which doesn't retain ownership (but also doesn't allow scaling).

|1: [Not Used]

|Used for Throw Voice. You can't directly choose a reference, but Throw Voice instead contains an explosion that places an activator object that says something.

|Staggers the target. Value between 0 and 1. Duration determines how long before the target can be staggered again. Should not be "detrimental".

|Applies the Telekinesis effect to the target object, allowing the caster to manipulate it at a distance. This will also set the boolean actor value Telekinesis to 1 in order to allow you to see item stats at a distance.
