I am confused by the magic section of the Oblivion Inventory Screen.

First tab with the eye of Horus shows all magic. Good.

Second tab there is an arrow/target symbol that contains Greater Powers, and a couple of misc spells under the heading 'spells'.

Next tab is a hand symbol, this also has the heading 'spells' and a few misc spells, but all different spells than in the previous tab. Again they are from different schools.

Next tab is a symbol of a head. This has a Greater Power heading again, but again, different powers than in the first tab. More spells under the 'spell' heading, again different from those in previous tabs. There are also scrolls in here.

Lastly, the skull-with-a-line-through symbol tab. This contains Active Effects. Good.

So basically it is the middle three tabs. I don't get how the magic in them is organised.

Hope that all makes sense.

In order: On Target spells, On Touch, On Self spells.

Oh my word, so simple! It all makes complete sense now. That has baffled me for ages. Thanks, Mars.
