Event Data⚓︎

  • caster (tes3reference): Read-only. The caster of the spell.
  • expGainSchool (number): Of all the magic effects in the spell, there is a magic school which the caster has the lowest skill at casting. This school determines which skill will gain experience on a successful cast. This school can be altered, or set to nil to remove experience gain, possibly in favour of your own experience calculation.
  • source (tes3spell): Read-only. The magic source.
  • sourceInstance (tes3magicSourceInstance): Read-only. The unique instance of the magic source.
  • target (tes3reference): Read-only. The target of the spell. For self-targeted spells, this matches the caster. Touch spells can also have target parameter. On target spells don't have target parameter during this event, since it can't have a target until it hits it. Which isn't known when the spell is casted.
