Elder Scrolls, Oblivion question

Does anyone knows whether Absorb Health and Absorb Magicka work over time, or is it an instant effect?

Absorb Skills and Attributes is direct, so, an absorb intelligence 10 over 1 second and over 2 second will still net you 10 intelligence. But is it the same for Health and Magicka? If I cast an Absorb Health 5 for 5 second, do I continue to keep absorbing health, (i.e, 5 * 5=25 health absorbed?) Or is it just 5 health absorbed?

My restoration level is too low to test this effectively, so, can anyone help?

Absorb health does affect over time, hence 5 * 5 will be 25 health total.
