Dragonskin Power

Post » Sun Jun 10, 2012 7:01 pm

Need some help with a a question concerning the Dragonskin power. It says "Absorb 50% of the magician from hostile spells for 60 seconds." this is a bit vague to me. So I have. Few questions.

1) Does the absorbed magicka in turn half the damage from the spell? Say a spell does 50 damage and costs 50 magicka to cast. You absorb 25 points of magicka, does that in turn weaken the spells damage?

2) Is it me or has it always been like this? I could have sworn it was "50% chance to absorb hostile spells for 60 seconds." Maybe I'm just off of it today.

If it really is as simple as the ability suggests, say getting hit with a 50 damage spell and receiving 25 magicka added to your reserves for it, it doesn't really seem all that useful unless you are actually needing that extra magicka. Any help here?

I'm pretty sure it's 50% Spell Absorption, ala th Atronach Stone. 50% chance you will absorb ALL ofthe spell effects. So Dragonskin, coupled with the Atronach Stone, makes you immune to magic, for 60 seconds.

That's what I thought it was, maybe the spell was just worded incorrectly. Thank you.
