A [[spell]]'s Magicka cost is the sum of the costs of each of the effects in the spell. The cost of each effect is determined by several parameters: which effect (specifically the Effect's Base Cost), and its Magnitude, Duration, Area, and Range (specifically, whether or not the spell is on Target). The actual cost to cast the spell is also affected the caster's skill in the spell's school and Luck stat. The effect of each of these depends on several [[:Category:Settings|game settings]]: | A [[spell]]'s Magicka cost is the sum of the costs of each of the effects in the spell.

Each individual effect in a spell contributes to the final cost of the spell independently. The contributions from a single effect follow this formula: | Each individual effect in a spell contributes to the final cost of the spell independently.

* The formulas above for auto-calculated scaled spell cost and unscaled spell cost are those used in the game. However, the Construction set itself calculates values by a slightly different formula, causing minor discrepancies between the costs and mastery levels of spells in the game and in the CS. The only difference is, the CS does not raise Unscaled Effect Cost or Scaled Effect Cost to a minimum of 1. Thus, in the CS an auto-calculated spell may be shown as having a (scaled or unscaled) cost less than the number of effects, but in the game that is impossible. | * The formulas above for auto-calculated scaled spell cost and unscaled spell cost are those used in the game.
