Notes

• Ectoplasm is frequently confused with glow dust, which comes from wispmothers, and has completely different alchemical properties.
• 3 bowls of ectoplasm are needed at grindstones to improve the Ghostblade (requires the Arcane Blacksmith perk).
• It is one of 3 items needed at the Atronach Forge to create a conjurer's elixir.
• The base magnitude of the Fortify Destruction effect for this ingredient is 4 instead of 5. This is only relevant if ectoplasm and nightshade are combined, in which case the resulting potion will have a 20% smaller magnitude than a typical custom Fortify Destruction potion.
