Notes[edit | edit source]

  • A magic effect must have its "Magic Skill" set to none in order for it to be listed and selected by an Enchantment.
  • When used on Enchantments some effect types like "Value Modifier" (maybe all) need the Recover flag set before they actually apply on equip.
  • If using Peak Value Modifier, leave Assoc. Item 2 as "NONE". In Skyrim, this is used as a dispel effect. However, this feature is bugged in Fallout 4. Filling in this value causes freezes (not crashes) when magic effect is active.
