Intelligence is the governing Attribute for Alchemy, Conjuration, Enchant, and Security. It determines your base amount of Magicka, with a normal character having one point of Magicka per one point of Intelligence. This total can be multiplied by your Magicka Multiplier.
Both Enchanting and Alchemy are enhanced by higher Intelligence.
