Magic Realizations

When making enchanted items theres some info you might like to know.

1) the higher your skill in the magic the more enchantment you can place on an item; so if you had 100 destruction you would fit more Fire touch spells on a sword than if you had 50; Im not sure if skill in enchantment affects this as well since i cant find anyone to teach me up to 100 skill for it and so im stuck at 51 skill for it
2) If you have a grand soul gem with 80k value on it, you can change the item to have a constant effect, and then switch that 80k soul gem for a 4k one; the option for constant effects doesnt pop up till you use that soul gem which is annoying -p but nice can work around it.
3) Enchant your clothing, belt shirt and pants and robe dont seem to take the place of any other heavier armor your wearing so you can fit some nice constant enchantments onto them; i prefer strength for them put 15-23 or so points of strength on exquisite pieces; you can also place those enchantments on your armor but its less recommended because your likely to upgrade them often and so it would be a waste of money most likely; but if your rich enough no reason not to.

P.S.
Anyone have a listing of all of the various weapons maximum enchantment? most of the swords seem to max about 4-18 points of enchantment which to me seems like not nearly enough.

ok,now your making regret not picking magic as my skill.

i'm having fun doing alchemy, and repairing my armor. now you tell me you can make your own magic items, this game is too cool. and since i'm such a slow player, i doubt i'll ever run out of stuff to do in this game. i feel this is the best value for a game i've gotten in a long time.

Ok
i retract my earlier statement
i finally managed to get 100 enchantment, and 100 restoration
i can still only make a 1-8 constant heal effect on a exquisite amulet; which is the same as before
I think that the enchant effect of reducing the the amount of cost was a glitch i saw when i was making a camoflage item; when i was making it once it had a cost of 2000 enchants for 100% camoflage, and then when i tried later with higher illusion it was only 500 so i assumed that thats how it worked; but as i said before, this is not the case with restoration

So, i suppose it could still be partially based on the skill level but not for the 50-100 skill maybe for the 1-49 though
ill have to do some testing to see if it really was a glitch and see when/if a reduction happens
