Bugs

• When using an Ayleid Well, the game acts as if you cast the Fortify Magicka spell, meaning that it contributes to your Restoration experience and that the magnitude of the magicka bonus is affected by your Spell Effectiveness. For this reason, it is best to remove all armor you're wearing just before activating the well to get the most Magicka (at 95% Spell Effectiveness you will receive 47 Magicka).
  • This bug is fixed by the Unofficial Oblivion Patch.
• Sometimes wells will not recharge at the correct time, but will begin displaying green sparkles again as though it were working correctly. Trying to use the well, however, will display the message "A drained well recharges slowly." ^?
