Fortify Attribute M points for D seconds

Fortifying an attribute temporarily raises that attribute's value by M points, for a period of D seconds. Fortify Attribute can increase an attribute above its base value and can even increase an attribute above the maximum value of 100. Fortifying an attribute past 100 will not necessarily improve all of that attribute's effects; each individual attribute page details which effects will or will not improve.

Internally, all of the various Fortify Attribute effects are considered to be the same, so learning Fortify Agility, for example, will give you access to all eight Fortify Attribute commands at the Spellmaking Altar.

[edit] Notes

• Doomstones bestow Greater Powers that include various Fortify Attribute effects.
• Fortify Endurance cast on yourself will increase your Health (but it will not increase an NPC's health), by twice the magnitude of the Fortify Endurance spell. However, the Fortify Endurance effect is more expensive than a Fortify Health effect (0.3/health point vs 0.14/health point).
• One quirk of Fortify Endurance is that when it expires (and you lose the health bonus), you can end up with negative health but you will not die. To get back to positive health you must restore all the missing health. If anything damages you in the meantime, you will immediately die.
  • This same quirk applies to Fortify Intelligence. You can cheaply create a 2-second duration Fortify Intelligence spell which provides (Int x2) extra magicka to provide up to a 200 point boost for the next cast. However, if the "bonus" magicka is spent, (e.g. a custom 280-point Summon Creature dropping total magicka to 0 / [100 base +200]), when the Fortify Intelligence expires the magicka counter goes to -200. Unlike the above case, it regenerates at your normal pace.
  • If you place a Fortify Magicka with the same duration (or longer!) beside it, it seems to prevent negative magicka by resetting to 0. If it is a longer duration, you can actually see the negative gap between when Fortify Intelligence and Fortify Magicka expire.
