Summary

  • Effective skills are applied through different sources, such as Aspect Armor or Mastery Chain Links.
  • They don't show up in the skill gump as they are only applied in certain calculations (listed below).
  • They are intended to give further bonuses to templates utilizing the skills in question, not as a secondary source of skill points to free up points to use elsewhere.

Things that are affected

  • Formulas for spell or melee damage
  • Inscription scroll refund chance and buff duration increase

Things that are NOT affected

  • Crafting chances (for example effective inscription doesn't increase crafting or exceptional chances of spell books)
  • Hard caps for abilities or spells (i.e. you still need a the minimum required skill as a base value)
