Weird golden moths flitting around my head in Skyrim Dragonborn

Weird golden moths flitting around my head in Skyrim Dragonborn - Brown and Black Primate on Gray Rock

I noticed this after doing about 4 of the Hermaeus Mora quests involving books, where you get to choose a perk at the end. My character has a cloud of golden particles flitting around the head like moths, and various people in cities tell me to 'be careful with that spell'. What magical effect causes this, and is there a way to turn it off?



Best Answer

That sort of effect is usually applied to healing effects, spells or powers. If none of your active effects mention anything to do with healing, then you may have just encountered a bug. Skyrim's not exactly the most stable game, after all ;)

What happens if you use Bend will on Miraak?

Notes. With the three words of the Bend Will Shout, you will now be able to tame Dragons both in Skyrim and the island of Solstheim. Defeating Miraak will allow you to absorb his soul, or rather all three Dragon souls he absorbed during the fight.

Can Miraak be saved?

No, there is simply no way to finish the quest without killing Miraak.

How do you make Miraak ally?

You'll need to hit him with the Shout a few more times. Miraak will not fight back or even move at this point. Successfully hitting him with a Bend Will at this stage recharges your Shout even quicker. He'll become your ally and the two of you must defeat several waves of enemies Hermaeus Mora will send at you.

Who is Miraak in Skyrim?

Miraak was a Dragon Priest and the First Dragonborn. He betrayed the dragons and his fellow priests to pursue knowledge in the name of Hermaeus Mora, the Daedric prince of knowledge and fate.
