The chance of a given enemy to resist a given Illusion spell is given by the following formula, with a few adjustments.

Replace the word "fundamental" with "novice", "advanced" with "apprentice", etc. Also change the Fog of Shadows factor from 0.5F to 9F. In other words, Fog of Shadows reduces a target's Illusion resistance by 90%. Fog of Shadows itself cannot be resisted.

This formula is evaluated when the spell first hits the target. If they resist the spell, it has no effect on them at all. If they do not resist, they are affected by the spell, but every 2 seconds they get another chance to resist and end the spell. This continues until the spell naturally expires.

You can view some graphs of how this formula applies to different enemies in the Requiem manual on page 119. The manual itself can be found in Serenity's install directory under the directory mods\Requiem - The Roleplaying Overhaul\documentation. (Be aware that much of the other information in the manual is outdated or changed by other mods in Serenity, but the Illusion resistance formula is generally accurate.)

The short version is that enemies with the following characteristics will be tougher to affect with Illusion spells:

• High character level
• High magic resistance
• High Illusion skill
• High magicka

The last factor is particularly important as there generally no cap on how much magicka an enemy can have. Enemies with very large magicka pools, including dragons and dragon priests, may be completely immune to Illusion spells unless you use Fog of Shadows on them first.

To make your Illusion spells more difficult to resist:

• Increase your Illusion skill
• Use higher level spells
• Take more perks in Illusion
• Use Fog of Shadows on the target first
