It is also possible to increase your jumping to such a high level that you jump across the continent in one leap. However, the spell wears off before you have crossed halfway, so you have to refresh it just before landing in order to not die on impact.
I loved the spell mechanics of morrowind far more than the system in the later games.
It was broken and for the game to remain fun you had to restrict yourself from taking full advantage of the most broken elements.
But it also gave you almost unlimited freedom because you could use any spell in any way.
My favorite was a low powered levitation spell. At high power it allowed you to fly fast. At low power it allowed you to drift very very slowly.
Powerful, fast creature charging at you? Simply gift it weakly with the power of flight and laugh as it floats in the air unable to reach you at anything above a slow crawl.
For bonus cast it on a flying creature and it falls when the effect wears off, often hurting it.
Does that actually work?
(I can’t decide whether that would mean Morrowind’s game mechanics are broken, or just really awesome.)
Yes, and both.

Yes, it does work, and the answer to the latter question is arguably “both”.

I believe there’s a video of a speed run done that way somewhere on the internet.
It took less than 15 minutes to beat the game, if memory serves me.
http://speeddemosarchive.com/Morrowind.html has a ~14 minute speed run that has as one step ‘Create and drink Fortify Intelligence in batches of 5’. That it?
Awesome!
I’ve never played Morrowing but now it seems like a good way to spend future vacation time.
