Spell Absorption (Skyrim)

Spell Absorption is a magical effect in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim that has a percent chance to absorb harmful spell effects.

effects

 * nullifies incoming spell effects
 * grants magicka equal to the cost (if there was a magicka cost) of the negated spell

trivia

 * It is possible for a Breton (Skyrim) to obtain 100% spell absorption simply by using The Atronach Stone (Skyrim) and their racial, Dragonskin (Skyrim), but only for 60 seconds


 * 100% spell absorption can be obtained by:
 * becoming a vampire
 * getting the Restoration (Skyrim) Necromage perk
 * using The Atronach Stone (Skyrim)
 * getting the Alteration (Skyrim) Atronach perk


 * Using the above technique and the Dragonhide Alteration spell makes a character nearly invincible to just about any damage

bugs

 * sometimes the 100% technique doesn't work if done in the wrong order, specifically if you get the Atronach perk or the Atronach stone effect before becoming a vampire and getting Necromage the effects won't be increased and you will only have 80%.


 * spell absorption can absorb some beneficial self targeted effects including all conjuration spells.
