Morrowind:Spell Effects

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

Spell Effects are the basis of all magic in the game. Each spell effect falls under one of six schools of magic, which corresponds to six magic-related skills.

Before they can be used, spells effects may need to be assigned some of the following properties:

  • Area — expressed in feet, this determines the radius of the spell effect. Any eligible target caught in this area will experience the spell effect; this also includes allies (a.k.a. "friendly fire")
  • Duration — the number of seconds in real time where the effect persists; it expires at the end of this duration. Some spell effects, like those related to teleportation, are instantaneous and cannot have any meaningful duration.
  • Magnitude — expressed as either a single number or a range of values, this determines the intensity of the spell effect.
    • Some spell effects, like those that related to curing, summoning, teleportation, water breathing and water walking, have no magnitude as they do not have varying degrees of intensity.
    • Other spell effects, especially those that inflict damage, may have a minimum and a maximum magnitude. However, unlike a weapon, where its damage is determined by how long the player holds the attack button, a spell effect's damage is simply a random number within the given range. For example, a Fire Damage effect with a magnitude of 3–5 has a one-in-three chance of inflicting 3, 4 or 5 points of damage.
  • Target — determines which target/s the spell effect will be applied to.
    • Self — applies the effect to the spell caster or, in the case of potions, the drinker.
    • Touch — applies the effect to any eligible targets within touching range of the spell caster.
    • Target — shoots a magical projectile, which applies the effect to the first eligible target it hits. In the case of enchanted weapons, the effect may be applied to any creature or NPC struck by the weapon.

The following tables list all of the spell effects in Morrowind, including those in the Tribunal and Bloodmoon expansions.

Alteration Effects[edit]
