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.

Effect Factor = Base Cost * fMagicDurMagBaseCostMult | Effect Factor = Base Cost * fMagicDurMagBaseCostMult | ||
Magnitude Factor = Magnitude ^ fMagicCostScale | Magnitude Factor = Magnitude ^ fMagicCostScale (minimum of 1) | ||

* An auto-calculated spell's school is determined by the single most expensive unscaled effect, not by which school has the most combined cost, so multiple effects from a single school will not help that school "win". | * An auto-calculated spell's school is determined by the single most expensive unscaled effect, not by which school has the most combined cost, so multiple effects from a single school will not help that school "win". | ||
* 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.

* The cost in Septims to buy any spell is equal to three times its Magicka cost. (the exact multiplier is determined by a Game Setting, probably [[FSpellmakingGoldMult|fSpellmakingGoldMult]], but this is currently untested). | * The cost in Septims to buy any spell is equal to three times its Magicka cost.
