Effective Skills

Effective skills are applied through various sources, such as Aspect Armor or Mastery Chain Links. These bonuses do not appear in the skill gump, as they are only used in specific calculations.

Effective skills are designed to enhance builds that utilize the skills in question. They are not intended to serve as a secondary source of skill points to allocate elsewhere.

Affected Mechanics

Effective skills contribute to various in-game calculations, including:

**Formulas for spell or melee damage**
**Inscription mechanics**, such as scroll refund chance and buff duration increase
**Harvesting chances**

Unaffected Mechanics

However, effective skills do not impact the following:

**Crafting success rates** – For example, effective Inscription does not increase the crafting or exceptional chance of spellbooks.
**Hard caps on abilities or spells** – Effective skills do not allow spells or abilities to exceed hard caps, except for casting from a Magery spell scroll.
