Secret of Arcana bugEdit

After using Secret of Arcana I started casting telekinesis(at 0 magicka cost), after 30 seconds the Secret of Arcana effect ended, but i was still casting telekinesis for 0 magicka per second. This lasted until i stopped casting telekinesis, and tried casting it again, and it went back to its regular cost per second. I tested this until my Alteration was 100 to make sure it wasn't some glitch that wasn't repeatable. I have not tested this on other cost per second spells (such as detect life) but i thought it was significant enough to ask if it should be added to the bugs section.

Hmm, if I understand you right, it kind of seems like the Summon Arvak spell-- he's only supposed to stick around for 60 seconds, but if you're still mounted when the 60 seconds is over, you can ride him however long you wish. Then, as soon as you dismount, he disappears. So if I'm understanding right, then I do think this would be notable enough to document on the wiki (however, we would document it as an {{intnote}} on the Powers page for the Secret of Arcana entry-- and someone could help with formatting if needed). — ABCface 22:19, 21 January 2013 (GMT)
I would be needing help with that as the tutorials seem vague to me.TheFences (talk) 23:12, 22 January 2013 (GMT)
Sorry I missed this earlier, looks like you figured out how to do it manually. I went ahead and tweaked it to use the intnote formatting, but thanks for adding that. Your note on it there is more succinct and I understood it a little more clearly. :) — ABCface 06:36, 23 January 2013 (GMT)

Magic skills experienceEdit

For skills that gain experience based on Magicka used (i.e. any magic skills that aren't Restoration or Destruction), would that experience not be gained while Secret of Arcana is in effect, since no Magicka is being used? Schiffy (talk) 04:30, 17 February 2013 (GMT)

Those skills are based off the BASE magicka used, not the actual magicka used itself. So no, this would have no effect on leveling. VycDarkshadow (talk) 04:50, 28 April 2013 (GMT)

Smoke Glitch on Aura WhisperEdit

Got a Smoke glitch when using Aura Whisper after returning to Koljorn Barrow. Other shouts did not produce the effect (Etherial, Fus) but Aura Whisper triggered the "was Equipped" debug message in the top left corner and initiated the smoke.

Diagnosis:

  • Kill everything up to the reward book and exit Apocrypha without opening the reward book - no smoke
  • Open the reward book and exit Apocrypha without selecting reward - smoke
  • Get the reward power but do not use Aura Whisper until after exiting Koljorn Barrow - no smoke
