According to the wiki,
Willpower affects your ability to "cast spells of any College;" whereas
Intelligence only determines your amount of magicka, despite being the "Governing Attribute" of several colleges. Here and elsewhere in the wiki, the notion is reiterated that "Governing Attribute" only relates to level-up bonus, not skill success.
But some entries recommend buffing your Intelligence to improve magic skills. The articles on
Enchanting and
Alchemy frequently indicate that buffing Intelligence will improve results. For example, the main enchanting entry gives an enchant success formula which involves Intellignce, vis:
- Code:
Enchant + .25*Intelligence + .125*Luck - 2.5*[enchantment points]
So which is correct, the Enchanting article or the Willpower/Intelligence articles? Does Intelligence contribute to magic skill use or not? Does Willpower affect Enchanting? Do these attributes do other things not mentioned in their wiki entries?
(I'm inclined to trust the enchanting article and regard the Intelligence, Willpower and some other attribute entries as incorrect. Does anyone have a source for this info?)
Thanks for your help.
