Difference between apparel and potions

So ... fortify destruction on apparel is different than fortify destruction in potions?— Unsigned comment by 216.253.111.150 (talk)

Yes, the potions make the spells stronger and the apparel makes them cost less magicka (Eddie The Head 15:35, 4 January 2012 (UTC))

In that case, shouldn't they be made into separate pages, or at least better described here? The current setup is very confusing Tryptic 23:00, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Cost Reduction not working for followers

So, an armour set with 100% cost reduction will make a destruction staff (ice storm, chain lighting etc) free to use for the player, but annoyingly, not for followers. Lydia and Aela are both high entertainment dual-wielding staves, so I had sets made especially... but they only work properly when I wear them *sigh*. Oh well. Here's hoping for a bug fix! - Cirian. 79.87.202.92 12:07, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

On 1.3 PC, 100% cost reduction in alteration and destruction will make my cicero's weapon, enchanted to absorb stamina and paralyse, not use charges at all, so i assume it does work. Maybe there is something special about staves? Did you try to give them enchanted weapon with destruction school enchant and see if they use charges on that? Maybe what you experienced is "enchant wasnt applied on equipping" bug that was reported to happen for players too? Did you try to give fort destro equipmnent to a mage and see if their mana goes down from using spells?

Fortify Destruction and Dragon Shouts

Can anyone with the PC version test whether Fortify Destruction also affects Dragon Shouts, such as Fire Breath and Marked for Death? — Unsigned comment by 108.221.229.2 (talk) at 01:30 on 13 August 2012
