Morrowind:Abilities

An editor has requested for this article to be peer reviewed to receive a broader perspective on how it may be improved. Please make any edits as you see fit to help improve the quality of this article.

Abilities in Morrowind are a set of spells, which are always in effect even while silenced. They function similar to Constant Effect enchantments, except that they are tied, not to clothing or equipment, but to the player character, an NPC or a creature; thus, they are usually permanent and cannot be removed. They may be acquired in three ways: as racial bonuses, as birthsign bonuses and as quest rewards. You can also acquire abilities through the console using the AddSpell command followed by the ability ID.
