Broken Magica

[nscraft]

In making my own mod I wanted to create a sword with a negative effect enchantment.

While the sword is equipped Id like the player's maximum magica to be reduced by a value of 150.

I went about trying to achieve this with an enchantment on the blade that said "Drain Magica, Self, Magnitude 150, Duration 0"

However, this resulted in my character gaining near infinite magica... somewhere around 60k I believe.

 

Can someone tell me why this is and what I can do to get the effect I want?

Not sure why it increased your magicka like that, but generally weapon enchantments are offensive or 'attack' enchantments and armor enchantments are constant effect 'buffs'. Since what you want is a constant effect on self it probably won't work on a weapon unless you make a custom drain effect of 150 then attach it to the weapon via script in the CS.
