Weakness to <Element> M% for D seconds
These effects increase the damage dealt by the four elemental damage effects, Fire Damage, Frost Damage, Poison, and Shock Damage. M is the percentage of resistance reduction. At 100% the target will receive double damage.
Altmer have natural weakness to most elements (50% to Fire, and 25% to Frost and Shock), so they will be most interested in Resist Element spells or items that counteract these weaknesses.
Notes
- If the target is naturally immune to an element, 100% weakness will eliminate that immunity. This can be a good way to make any element more universally useful. Higher magnitudes will still be necessary to amplify base damage though.
- When weakness is used in conjunction with an effect that does damage over several seconds, the weakness only needs a duration of 1 to allow the damage to take effect.
