I REALLY want to make a mod to boost the damage of the vampiric drain spell, but whenever I look for it in ck, I can't find the correct ID. I've also tried using the console in-game to try to find it, but a bunch of results come up (all named "Vampiric Drain, making it impossible to differentiate between them) and I'd rather not trial and error through every single one. Can anyone tell me if there is an easier way to find the ID?

Yeah, click the "Spells" label in the left hand column of the CK window. You may have to expand one of the menus if you haven't already - I forget what it's called, probably "Magic" or something.

Once you've clicked on "Spells," find the column that has the names of spells, and then click the column header up top to organize them alphabetically by their name. You should then be able to easily find the Vampiric Drain spell. This works with any column if you are searching for something in particular like this.

Good luck.
