EVENT OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)
    objectReference caster = akCaster
    if caster.getItemCount(SoulGemGrand) >= 1
        caster.removeItem(SoulGemGrand, 1, TRUE)
        Game.GetPlayer().ModActorValue("magicka", 2)
        caster.addItem(SoulGemShards, 2, FALSE)
        SuccedGrandMSG.show()
    elseif caster.getItemCount(SoulGemGreter) >= 1
        caster.removeItem(SoulGemGreater, 1, TRUE)

-->
        caster.addItem(SoulGemShards, 2, FALSE)
        SuccedGreaterMSG.show()
    elseif caster.getItemCount(SoulGemCommon) >= 1
        caster.removeItem(SoulGemCommon, 1, TRUE)
--->
        caster.addItem(SoulGemShards, 2, FALSE)
        SuccedCommonMSG.show()
    elseif caster.getItemCount(SoulGemLesser) >= 1
        caster.removeItem(SoulGemLesser, 1, TRUE)
--->
        caster.addItem(SoulGemShards, 2, FALSE)
        SuccedLesserMSG.show()
    elseif caster.getItemCount(SoulGemPetty) >= 1
        caster.removeItem(SoulGemPetty, 1, TRUE)
--->
        caster.addItem(SoulGemShards, 2, FALSE)
        SuccedPettyMSG.show()
    else
        FailureSFX.play(caster)
        failureMSG.show()
    endif
endEVENT

 

As you can see there are gaps where the spell cast function should be as I have no idea how to do it.

Make the spells cast on self and have the player cast them. That is the way that shrines do it.

So I just need to put in (blessing Name).cast(playerRef, playerRef) ?

[lofgren]

Based on the script you have here, it could be (Blessing Name).Cast(akCaster)
