SetNthEffectItemArea

A command for Oblivion Script Extender

Syntax:

(nothing) SetNthEffectItemArea nuArea:long magicItem:ref whichEffect:short

(nothing) SetNthEIArea nuArea:long magicItem:ref whichEffect:short

Sets the area of the specified effect item.

Notes

• You can set the area of any magic item, even if it normally doesn't have a area and it's grayed out in the CS. This won't do anything or even appear in-game, but you can retrieve it with GetNthEffectItemArea, making it a good way to store integer data.
• (Unconfirmed, but likely) Using this function on a non-cloned spell (any spells from Oblivion.esm or mods) will change the duration of the spell, but only until the player re-loads their game. The most likely explanation is that Oblivion retrieves the spell's data from the mod/Oblivion.esm when loading, while cloned spells' data come from the save file itself.
