LAME Absorb Health

[Mouldysocks]

Hi, I'm having a problem with LAME's absorb health spells. I have discovered that on the Leech Health spell, the description reads as "Absorb 10 health for 2 seconds on touch" which would mean that I absorb 20 health from the target. However I am only actually healing for 7hp every time that I try it. I am not wearing armous so my spell effectiveness is 100% and I am standing right next to the target every time, so the chain is no being broken by me moving away. I have tried changing the numbers in the creation kit but to no avail. Has anyone had this problem and managed to fix it before?
Thanks in advance if anyone replies.

Creation kit... nope. That's the Skyrim editor. Oblivion's editor is Construction Set. I'm not sure the Creation Kit can support Oblivion mods!

 

As for the problem: have you checked for any Resist Magic effect on the target?

Hey and thanks for the response. I meant the construciton set, just a minor mess up with what I was typing. I've tried it on multiple targets rangind from a summoned skeleton to imperial city guards. Always to the same effect of only absorbing 7hp when it should be more.

Little doubt:

The spells "declare" 10 pts and you recover only 7pts. But do the target suffer 7pts damage as well?

If the spell effectively cause 7 damage, then something is reducing the whole spell effectiveness, else if the spell effectively cause 10 damage, then there's a percent of "loss" in the process (probably caused by a setting).

 

Or another theory:

There's any chance YOU have a Resist Magic effect and so you recover less health?
