Blessings

• The Blessing of Arkay provides 25 points of additional Health for 8 hours.
• The Blessing of the Stag Prince provides 5 points of Health while the Glass Bow of the Stag Prince is equipped, as well as an additional 5 points for every 20 animals killed with the bow (up to a maximum of 25 points).^DB
• The Elytra's Uplifting Aura provides 10 points of Health for 5 minutes.^CC

Notes

• Rally spells include a secondary Fortify Health effect.
• Restore Health may be more ideal for immediate health gain while in combat.
• Fortify Health enchantments work a little differently on NPCs (mainly followers) than it does on you: whereas on your character it is added to your overall health (example: 300 health + ring with a Fortify Health enchantment of 50 = 350 health), with NPCs it is considered almost separately, mostly when in combat. For example: a Fortify Health enchanted cuirass, ring, amulet and shield of 100 each + 300 normal NPC health should equal 700 overall health, but only in non combat situations. During combat, the added health is damaged first by enemy attacks, then the regular, base health of the follower or NPC is damaged.
• When a Fortify Health effect from a potion or enchantment expires or is removed, if your current health is equal to or below the value of the effect, then you will be put at 1 health by default. However, some other sources of Fortify Health, such as the Blessing of Arkay, don't do this, so if your current health is below 25 when the Blessing of Arkay expires, you'll die.
