Spellcasting Formulas[edit]
Success Chance[edit]
Chance of success in percent is (Spell's skill * 2 + Willpower / 5 + Luck / 10 - Spell cost - Sound magnitude) * (0.75 + 0.5 * Current Fatigue/Maximum Fatigue)
Example: You are a lvl 1 Breton and you have 20 Destruction, 60 Willpower, 50 Luck and have 150 Maximum Fatigue, you are not affected by Sound and you are at maximum fatigue. The spell you want to cast is "Fire Bite": (20 * 2 + 60 / 5 + 50 / 10 - 6 - 0) * (0.75 + 0.5 * 150/150) = 63.75% chance that you will succeed
Spell Damage[edit]
Spell Damage is Damage * (1 - ( Resistance - Weakness )/100)
.
Spell Cost[edit]
The Spell Cost (the amount of magicka a spell takes to cast) for built in spells (spells that aren't created by the player) can be either auto-calculated or set manually. Spells which are set to auto calculate use the formula ( ( ( Min Magnitude + Max Magnitude ) * Duration * ( Base Cost / 40 ) ) + ( Area * Base Cost / 40 ) ) * ( 1.5 if On Target )
, rounded to the nearest whole number (n+1/2 rounds up to n+1); this formula is calculated per spell effect and summed together for multi-effect spells.
Custom spells use the similar formula ( ( 2 * Average Magnitude * ( Duration + 1 ) * ( Base Cost / 40 ) ) + ( Area * Base Cost / 40 ) ) * ( 1.5 if On Target )
, rounded down to a minimum of 1. Notably, the additional +1 to the duration and area terms mean that spells with a one second duration effectively have their cost doubled compared to built in auto-calculated spells.
Examples:
- Odusi's Open Door:
- Built in spell:
( ( 50 + 50 ) * 1 * ( 6 / 40 ) ) + ( 0 * 6 / 40 )
= 15 - Custom spell:
( ( 50 + 50 ) * ( 1 + 1 ) * ( 6 / 40 ) ) + ( 0 * 6 / 40 )
= 30
- Built in spell:
- Levitate:
- Built in spell:
( ( 10 + 10 ) * 30 * ( 3 / 40 ) ) + ( 0 * 6 / 40 )
= 45 - Custom spell:
( ( 10 + 10 ) * ( 30 + 1 ) * ( 3 / 40 ) ) + ( 0 * 6 / 40 )
= 46 (rounded down from 46.5)
- Built in spell:
- Fire Storm:
- Built in spell:
( ( ( 1 + 10 ) * 10 * ( 5 / 40 ) ) + ( 10 * 5 / 40 ) ) * ( 1.5 )
= 23 (rounded up from 22.5) - Custom spell:
( ( ( 1 + 10 ) * ( 10 + 1 ) * ( 5 / 40 ) ) + ( 10 * 5 / 40 ) ) * ( 1.5 )
= 24 (rounded down from 24.5625)
- Built in spell:
Notes[edit]
- If Resistance - Weakness is equal to 100 or more, the effect is resisted.
- Resistance/Weakness to Magicka does not affect elemental damage.
- "Self" spells have an Area value of 1.
- "Target" spells multiply the above spell cost by 1.5.
- The lowest value possible on a slider is 1 (one), despite it displaying zero.
- Spells without magnitudes (such as Invisibility) behave as though they have magnitudes of 1.
Deleting Spells[edit]
If you are on PC, hold shift and click on the spell name. On Xbox, select the spell and press the White button. If the deleted spell was bought from a spell merchant, that merchant will have it available for sale again after deletion.
Notes[edit]
- If you want to be able to use an effect for spellmaking/enchanting, keep at least one spell with that effect.
Starting Spells[edit]
There are several spells which have been marked as being a "PC Start Spell" within Morrowind's construction set. You can obtain these spells during character creation if the spell's governing skill is one of your class's major or minor skills and Governing Skill * 2 + Willpower / 5 + Luck / 10
[verification needed — see talk page] is greater than or equal to the value indicated below.

Unique Spells[edit]
Cheap Spells[edit]
This section lists spells that are cheaper to cast than would normally be expected. It only includes spells, and race and birthsign abilities that operate as spells, not diseases, nor race or birthsign abilities that do not operate as spells (such as attribute enhancement).
Many of these spells are normally unobtainable and are only experienced as effects cast upon the player either by shrines, traps or NPCs, however they can be added to your spellbook by using the AddSpell Console command and used normally thereafter. If no location is specified in the "Obtained" column, it means the spell is only obtainable using the console.
