You'd think that after finshing the game three times and finishing all the guild and house quests i'd know most of the little things about the game, but i need to know the answers to a couple of questions that are bugging me: does weakness to magicka make my absorb or damage [insert attribute here] more powerful, and is it a corrupted esm or is there really *possible spoiler*
a plant in jobasha's book store called "Charles the plant" who gives out "Meteor Slime"


Please help im going out of my mind here!!! :eek: :confused:

I'm afraid I don't quite understand either of your questions. But if by the first, you're wondering whether "weakness to magicka" means you take more damage from magicka or get to dish more out, it's the first. That weakness means every negative spell that affects you does more damage.

Sorry about the confusion, whwat i mean is if i cast weakness to magicka on an opponent and then cast absorb/damage health on them, will it work in the same way as casting weakness to fire on an opponent and then casting fire damage. By the way, does anybody else have "Charles the plant" in their game? I'm worried that it's a corrupted esm. I dont want to have to reinstall :eek: .

Wait, i forget to tell you where "Charles" is (silly me) :( . You go downstairs to where Jobasha is and "Charles" is on the top of a shelf to the right of Jobasha's desk if my memory serves me right (probably doesn't). "Charles" just looks like a normal potted fern but if you press the [spacebar] (or whatever you changed it to) on him you can take "meteor slime" off him (it seems to have the same qualities as "scrib jelly"). I'd save your game before doing this (it might be counted as stealing, i wouldn't want to wreck anyone's game). Please forgive my judicious use of quotes and parenthesis (i tend to go a bit overboard) :D . Bye.

Please don't give away hints about the game before indicating SPOILER and dropping down several lines. Not everybody wants to know these things--I don't--and that one point really doesn't have any relevance to your question. Thanks. :)

As regards the weakness to magicka, casting it does just what I said: it produces a weakness to any magical effect. If you subsequently hit 'em with a spell designed to hurt their health, it should probably do more damage. Hope that helps.
