Each effect of a player-created potion is determined individually. The formula changes depending on what apparatuses the player uses, whether they're creating a potion or poison, and the effect itself. To make things easier it has been broken down into several pieces. These are all based on [http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Alchemy#Calculating_Potion_Strengths formulas found on UESP], and it might be easier to start there and look at the default formulas without game settings. | Each effect of a player-created potion is determined individually.

The functions below run off the screen. We are trying to get some new LaTeX functions added to the wiki to hopefully take care of this. If anyone knows another way to fix them... Until then you can highlight them to see all of the function. | |||

The formula is used on each effect of the potion individually. The formula actually has many variations, but they follow a bit of a pattern that can be broken down into 3 steps: | |||
#Effective Alchemy Skill Level - Alchemy modified by luck, as with all other skills | |||
#Base Magnitude/Duration - Bonuses from the Mortar and Pestle | |||
#Final Magnitude/Duration - Bonuses from the other apparatuses | |||
#*This is the same as Base magnitude/Duration if the player is only using a Mortar and Pestle, or the other apparatuses don't affect the effect's potency | |||
#**Calcinators affect everything. | |||
#**Retorts only affect beneficial effects. | |||
#**Alembics only affect hostile effects on potions. | |||
If you're trying to script this, there are several functions that you'll need: | |||
*[[GetActorValue]] | |||
*[[GetBaseActorValue]] | |||
*[[GetGameSetting]] | |||
*[[GetApparatusType]] (OBSE) | |||
*[[GetQuality]] (OBSE) | |||
*[[GetMagicEffectBaseCost]] (OBSE) | |||

This is very similar to the Type 1 formula, but it is not the same. You can find the quality of the Mortar and Pestle in the CS (see [[Apparatus]] for more information and a list of default values) or via script with OBSE's [[GetQuality]]. Effect Base Costs can be found under [[Magic Effects]], on [http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Magical_Effects UESP], or via script with OBSE's [[GetMagicEffectBaseCost]]. | This is very similar to the Type 1 formula, but it is not the same.
