Interacting with an Ayleid Well typically involves activating it. Upon activation, the well will restore a portion of the player's Magicka. Some wells may also grant temporary buffs, such as increased Magicka regeneration or resistance to certain elements. The locations of these wells are often found in remote or hidden areas, encouraging players to venture off the beaten path and discover the secrets of Cyrodiil's past.
