As far as available effects go, the same limitation applies to the Altar of Spellmaking as it does to the Altar of Enchanting. The Altar of Spellmaking, as its name implies, allows one to create unique spells. With the Altar of Spellmaking, the possibilities are nearly endless. In other words, you can only apply an attribute to an item if your character has a spell of the same effect in his or her spell book. The list of effects available to choose from is dependent on the nature of the spells in your character's spell book. With the Altar of Enchanting, one can imbue unenchanted items with magic properties using filled Soul Gems. The primary benefit to having access to Arcane University is that of being able to make use of the Altar of Enchanting in the Chironasium, and the Altar of Spellmaking in the Praxographical Center.
