Fortify Magicka M points for D seconds

Temporarily raises the target's Magicka by M points for D seconds. After the spell expires, their Magicka will be restored to its former value, minus any lost by casting spells while the spell was active.

[edit] Notes

Fortify Magicka can be used in conjunction with Fortify Intelligence to create spells that result in a net gain of magicka, also allowing your magicka to be raised above 100% maximum. When your Intelligence stat changes, the ratio of current/total magicka is preserved, and when the Fortify Magicka effect begins or ends, the magnitude is simply added/subtracted from the current point total. As an example, if you fortify your Magicka by M, then double your Intelligence (in effect doubling your magicka), you are effectively seeing an effect of 2M from Fortify Magicka. However, when the Fortify Magicka effect ends it only removes M from your current total, and when the Fortify Intelligence effect wears off, only M/2 is effectively removed. When creating spells to exploit this, the key is to ensure the Fortify Magicka effect begins before the Fortify Intelligence effect begins, and also ends before the Fortify Intelligence effect ends. This does not increase your normal maximum Magicka, so once the extra points are used they are gone until the process is repeated.
