Lingering Damage Magicka Poisons

Lingering Magicka poisons drain a target’s magicka a few points every second for 10 to 20 seconds, wearing down enemy casters.

Lingering Damage Magicka poisons bleed a target’s magicka away over time instead of in one burst. After a poisoned strike, the victim loses 1 to 3 points of magicka per second for 10 to 20 seconds. On their own the totals are small, from 10 points with the weakest grade up to 60 with the strongest, so these work best as a supporting tool against spellcasters rather than a fight-winner.

Where to find them

These leveled poisons appear as loot and among the goods of vendors who carry poisons.

Brewing your own

Make them at an alchemy lab with the Alchemy skill, then apply the finished poison to a weapon from your inventory. Ingredients that carry Lingering Damage Magicka:

Purple Mountain Flower and Torchbug Thorax also restore stamina, so combining the two can produce a mixed result. Check the effect preview in the lab before committing your ingredients.

Tips

Because the drain is slow, follow up with Damage Magicka Regen poisons so the caster cannot refill what you take. For a heavier one-off hit to the magicka pool, look at Damage Magicka poisons instead.

Where to find it

  • Found as leveled loot throughout Skyrim.
  • Sold by vendors who stock poisons.
  • Brewed at an alchemy lab with ingredients that have Lingering Damage Magicka.
