Skyrim Mod:Mod File Format/INGR

< Mod / Skyrim: Skyrim Mod: File Formats: Mod File Format

Internally, all alchemy items (food, drinks, potions, and poisons), enchantments, ingredients, scrolls and spells derive from the same object, MagicItem, and thus share a similar structure.

Auto-calc: The auto-calculated ingredient value is the total of all effect costs. This is different from the gold value, which is found in the DATA field.

float Magnitude
uint32 Area of Effect
uint32 Duration (0 = instant)

For auto-calc purposes, the game calculates the cost of an effect as:

effect_base_cost * (Magnitude * Duration / 10) ^ 1.1

A Magnitude < 1 is treated as 1, and a Duration of 0 as 10.

* CTDA Conditions CTDA Conditions on the effect.
