Drain Attribute, M points for D seconds

Temporarily lowers one of the target's attributes by M points for D seconds. Derived attributes such as Fatigue, Health, Magicka, and Encumbrance will be recalculated if appropriate. After the spell expires, the attribute will be restored to its former value.

Bugs[edit]

  • If you are under the effect of a Fortify Attribute, and are then hit with a Drain effect for the same attribute, then when the Drain expires, the attribute will not return to its former value, making the Drain behave more like a Damage Attribute. The only way to solve this is to remove whatever was causing the Fortify effect, and then apply a Restore Attribute effect. You may then put the Fortify effect back on to be returned to your former attribute value.
  • Due to a bug, you can't create potions with more than one Drain Attribute effect. The effect that appears first is the one that the potion will have.
  • If you drain your own Intelligence to zero, your Magicka bar will be refilled to full when the effect ends. This can be especially useful for someone who took the sign of the Atronach, although some might consider it cheating.

Alchemy Ingredients[edit]
