Healing Ward function.

Does magicka affect the shield part of this skill? Like do you get a bigger shield if you have more max magicka?

If not I'm thinking of using this for a stamina build.

And a second similar question, is the heal on hit from Force Siphon affected by max magicka or spell power?

As far as your first question goes: Yes it does scale off of max magicka.

For your second question: It should scale off of spell power since your spell power is also determined by your max magicka.

Don't quote me on the second one though, I'm not 100% sure! Hope this helped.

With the second question I meant whether or not max magicka/spell power makes the heal on hit bigger. Meaning if it does, then it is of little use to a stamina build. If it is a standard heal not affected by any stats, then it would be useful for me. I can't test it myself because I don't want to level resto all the way up if it's no use to me.

Force Siphon is Magicka based skill, so initial skill usage will depend on max Magicka and therefor spell power. Though while this ability lasts you gain healing (life stealing) from whatever damage dealing abilities you are doing, which is totally up to you - it might as well be a stamina based attack.

But without a lot of max magicka when casting the skill on an enemy, the heal I get won't be very big I guess?
