Talk:Spellmaking (Morrowind)

Looked all over Google and couldn't find a solution to this problem I have when making spells so I'll just leave this question here:

Let's say I have the "Firebite" spell which deals 15 to 30 damage on touch. That spell normally costs 6 mana but if you try to make that identical spell it will cost 12 mana. Why?! Why is the vanilla spell cost doubled when you're making your own spells? It makes no sense to me at all. I tried to recreate some other spells and the result was the same. My spell required twice as many magicka points to cast when compared to the original, even tho they have the exact same values. If anyone knows how to change this, let me know.93.180.109.3 17:31, March 28, 2015 (UTC)
