[LE] Setting up a MGEF that gives a flat decrease to max magicka

[grasscid]

part of a mod I'm working on involves giving the player a Constant Effect debuff that's supposed to lower the player's maximum magicka by 50 points. However, it seems any "Detrimental" MGEF that has "Magicka" as its associated item treats the magnitude as a per second drain rather than a flat decrease. In other words, when I cast the spell on the player with a magnitude of 50, it takes away 50 points of magicka per second instead of decreasing the player's maximum magicka by 50. It does this regardless of whether I set the effect archetype to "Value Modifier" or "Peak Value Modifier".

 

Anyone have any workaround suggestions? the only thing I can think of is creating a script that stores the player's magicka as a variable and adjusts it accordingly while the effect is active, but I hope there's a simpler way because this would probably cause all sorts of problems with enchantments and leveling up and whatnot.

nevermind I figured it out myself... all I had to do was tick the "Recover" flag on the Magic Effect
