However, it's clear that Bethesda didn't put sufficient thought into the interaction between their clunky, unresponsive, inaccurate user interface, and timed potions. Also with this potion, you will be stronger than characters with 100 enchantment skill and even possible to create a stronger enchantment than any enchantment found in stock weapons and gears in this game. you select your item, enchantment, and soul gem, rename the item, click the button to drink a potion, be selected with a list of potions containing +enchant effect, select the potion you wish to drink, drink it, then finish the enchantment. So, the basic function of Skyrim Fortify Enchanting potion is to multiply your enchanting power. Either that, or allow the user to actually drink enchant potions from within the enchanter UI - e.g. That is, 'Your enchant skill is increased by 20 points for the next item you enchant'. I think the 'right' way to do it would have been for enchantment potions to be effective for a single enchantment attempt. You click on things and you get the wrong item or enchantment selected then have to go back and re-select, you want to take time to re-name an item, etc. However, time-based limitations svck when your user interface svcks as badly as Skyrims does. The reason why some people think they won't stack is if you give an entire stack of poison to the target at one time (any amount > 6), only the first poison in the stack will trigger. you buff your intellgence, luck, etc with high-power, 3 or 4 second spells, then open the character sheet to begin enchanting, and can enchant as many items as you want with the buffs. The same poison will stack with each other, 2 poisons of 1 damage per second for 10 seconds will do 20 damage in total over 10 seconds. I think Bethesda kind of screwed up in this design - I realize the intent was to avoid the situation in Morrowind, where, e.g.

Does the timer stop if you rename your enchanted items.
