Hey, everybody. I just created an account on the wiki in order to start editing pages. I've only ever played TESV: Skyrim, but I loved the game and TES lore and I've decided that I want to contribute to the Wiki.

I don't know anybody on here, and I certainly don't want to insult anybody or seem arrogant, but it seems like somebody who's created or edited pages in the past doesn't have a terribly nuanced understanding of how certain mechanics in Skyrim work. There was a section on the "Fortify Magicka" page that compared that effect to Fortify Magicka Regen. It made unrealistic assumptions about the power of enchantments available to the player at a certain point in the game, and incorrectly described Fortify Magicka effects as being, effectively, Fortify Magicka Regen effects plus an increase to maximum magicka reserve. It also generally lacked detailed information about the effects' benefits to the player and usefulness. I corrected it, waxed poetic about the subject, and added Fortify Alteration/Conjuration/Destruction/Illusion/Restoration effects to the comparo for good measure.

It's great that the pages on game mechanics contain information about their usefulness and advice on how they should be used, but I feel that that information needs to be more accurate and detailed than what I saw in that section of the Fortify Magicka page. I want to start improving the pages on game mechanics in Skyrim (the only TES game I've ever played), but it seems like a daunting process. Is there anybody who really knows the game mechanics inside and out and can join me on this epic quest?

Thanks!
