Last I checked, 0 wasn't an option in magnitude. Like I said before, it's been a while so I could be wrong.

On the PC, at least, "0" is an option for Weakness and Damage type effects, among others.

But, that wasn't the point I was trying to make. 50 to 1, or 50 to 0, is rarely going to deliver 50 pts of damage. Both configurations will result in a wildly variable magnitude from one cast to the next.

Hm, so I guess the only option is to cheat your way to greatness. If you're hell bound on using spells, that is.

Use potions.

Join the mages' guild, go around all the supply chests, take all the restore magicka potions. I always did this, and I always thought magic was overpowered, so I suppose the two are related.

ah ok. so there is really no way to increase your spell damage other than buying more powerful spells (/making uber enchanted items) and increasing max magicka to compensate (using fortify intelligence CE items)

Reaper67, given the solution BloodMountain has chosen to increase his max magicka, your Reverse Variable Magnitude (RVM) suggestion for spells could be more appropriately applied to his CE enchantments. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/User:Benould/BMW

Rather than enchanting an exquisite shirt/skirt/pants (60 EP) with a flat 12 pts of fortify intelligence, an RVM (23 - 1) could be used to yield 23 pts. A regular variable magnitude (1 - 23) will only yield a maximum of 22.
