Is this possible? (Part 2)

That is an archived post I made almost 2 years ago asking about creating a shader effect for Skyrim. At the time, and despite CPU's patience and best efforts, I was as lost as could be, and simply couldn't get things to work out.

 

I've learned a bit more, and returned to that post on a whim to see if I could get it to work this time around, and I kinda did, kinda didn't.

 

I was able to create the esp, the magic effect, and the spell. When I do a console search I can see both the spell and the mgef is loaded into the game with form ID's and all, but I can't seem to apply them to the character via player.addspell (and I can't seem to find out how to add a mgef through the console not matter what I search).

 

Anyhow, I am wondering if I might have made a mistake in the CK when I named the mgef and spell. There are fields for ID and Name during creating them, and I didn't put a form ID into the ID field because I didn't have one, so I put a name similar to the name I made for the spell/effect as opposed to leaving it blank. Could that be my issue?

 

Otherwise, I followed the guide CPU wrote to the letter, but like I said, nothing happens when I try to add the spell via the console. It would be great if I could get this working after two years lol. Thanks ahead of time!

Remember to associate the spell to a magic art (Illusion for example) or it will not show in the list of spells.

And be sure you set it do either hands as equipping.

Thanks, and I did what you said, and the spell was able to load into my spell list. Now the only problem is that when I go to cast the spell, nothing happens lol. I don't get the effect, nor do I get any colorful sparklies when I cast (but I didn't do anything for those anyhow). The hands animate as if casting, but that's it.

 

I went back and set a magnitude and spell cost and duration, to see if those parameters might have any effect, but so far, no go. I really feel like there must be simple that I am missing here.
