Enchanting description: Absorb <mag> points of magicka.
Absorb Magicka (a.k.a. Drain Magicka) transfers <mag> points of Magicka from the target to the person wielding the weapon. On the target, the effect is comparable to Damage Magicka; on the attacker, the effect is comparable to Restore Magicka. Spell Absorption is similar to Absorb Magicka, in that your magicka can be increased at the expense of your enemy, but is a passive effect rather than an active effect.
Two versions of Absorb Magicka are actually available for enchanting. The stats above are for the most common version of the effect. A second version is only available from one item: the Drainspell Bow. The bow can be disenchanted, meaning that its effect can be used for custom enchantments. The stats for this second version of the effect are:
- ID: 0010f221

- PC Only This bug is fixed by version 1.3.2 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.
