How to access and edit combat message for magic?

[nguyenthengoc13c]

When you use a low level magics against high-levels NPCs, there would be a message like "NPC is too strong for Fear'." or "NPC resisted Courage". I checked Creation Kit but did not know where it is to edit.

Since my spell is not set by magnitude but instead by condition, I want to check if I could create some custom pop-up messages to let me know if my spell would not work on certain NPCs.

Does anybody know where to look for them in Creation kit?

I don't believe you will find anything ready-made.

Instead, you can have a magic effect that always works and, inside its script, tests extra conditions to print a failure message or produce an effect.

Otherwise, you can also have two magic effects, with opposite conditions, one to apply effects and the other to print failure messages.

And here I thought I could duplicate a message and then attach it to the magic effect. Scripting is way beyond my ability at the moment, I'd better look up some tutorials then.

Thanks for replying.
