This effect appears to be bugged. When the magnitude of the effect is 50 or smaller it works fine but whenever the magnitude is greater than 50 it will subtract 2^16 (65536) from the magnitude of the effect before applying it. The player's max magicka after applying a drain magicka effect of 51 or greater will then be: player_base_max_magicka + 65536 - drain_magicka_effect_magnitude. This bug is not limited to single effects - it will occur whenever the total of all drain magicka effects exceeds 50.

I noticed and explored this bug on a low-level Breton mage (with Lady birthsign) while testing a mod that would add sustained spells (similar to those in the game Dragon Age) to the game. I'm not sure if the Breton's racial fortify magicka effect makes a difference with regards to this bug - its possible that the cutoff value of 51 might be higher or lower for other races. TFM
