In turn, mixing potions/poisons leads to Alchemy skill increases. Your Alchemy skill level, Alchemy perks, and Fortify Alchemy enchantments determine the strength of any potions or poisons that you create (see Alchemy Effects for details). When an effect has been identified, the effect will be listed in the Alchemy menu screen, allowing you to sort ingredients by effect. Unlike in Oblivion, your Alchemy level does not affect which effects you can discover or use. When an ingredient is selected, it will grey out all other ingredients where a combination has previously been attempted and failed. Additional effects can be discovered by experimenting to see what ingredient combinations successfully yield potions. Eating the ingredient always allows you to discover an ingredient's first effect the Experimenter perk causes additional effects to be discovered when you consume an ingredient.

While many potions are available for sale, knowledge of alchemy gives you more flexible, and potentially more powerful, potions than can be bought.
