Syntax:

(data:ref) reference.GetNthActiveEffectData whichEffect:long
(data:ref) reference.GetNthAEData whichEffect:long

Return the data of the Nth Active Effect on the reference. Data includes things like a summoned creature, weapon or armor.

Active Effects from different sources are counted as unique Active Effects, even if they are the same. For example, a Shield effect from a potion, a Shield effect from another potion, and a Shield effect from a spell, each one will return their own magnitude.
- If the Magic Item has 2 of the same effect, they will be counted separately.
- If the effect is from the same Magic Item (i.e., 2 instances of DrinkAle), it will still count as 2 separate Active Effects.
  - The only exception is scripted effects with the same script. Generally, only the first one's data (Magic Item Index, Caster, etc.) will be used.

 *Active Effects from different sources are counted as unique Active Effects, even if they are the same. For example, a '''Shield''' effect from a potion, a '''Shield''' effect from another potion, and a '''Shield''' effect from a spell, each one will return their own magnitude.

-**#Will the same spell stack? That is, if you cast a '''Shield''' spell on an NPC twice, will there be 2 Active Effects or 1? (If spells don't work that way, potions can be stacked multiple times on the player by applying it as a poison.)
