SetDescription

A function added by the Oblivion Script Extender.

Syntax:

(success:bool) reference.SetDescription description:string form:ref skillLevel:short

Modifies the text of a TESDescription (e.g. book, class, skill, skill level, etc). The modified description will be used for the remainder of the game session. To modify the text displayed when achieving a new level of mastery (Apprentice, Journeyman, etc) in a skill, pass the skill as the second argument and a skill level as the third, where skill level ranges from 0 (Apprentice) to 3 (Master).

A specific example for modifying the description of a skill when achieving a mastery rank in that skill would be:

Note the syntax of using SkillSneak (which is the skill details), not just Sneak (which is the actor value).
