Problem with "spell light effect"

[Dachre]

I was recently possessed with the desire to reinstall and play Morrowind again, and on my fresh install, I downloaded the Morrowind Code Patch and Morrowind Overhaul. Those are the only two things I installed in addition to the fresh install, though Morrowind Overhaul seems to add quite a bit else by itself. I enjoyed playing through it again for a while, and then it happened: I got jabbed with a spark sword, and now I'm stuck with a permanent, non-dispel-able effect calling itself "spell effect light" which makes me constantly emit three points of light.

 

I scoured Google search results for hours and found absolutely nothing pertinent to this problem. I searched these, and other, Morrowind forums. I even loaded every single .esp and .esm in my data files directory and searched through all of their entries -- all of these to much the same result -- I can't find anyone or anything, anywhere that even so much as mentions this "spell effect light," much less what to do when it gets stuck like this.

 

At first it's not so bad, but after a while the inconsistent lighting effects of Morrowind's older 3D engine make the game eye-twitchingly annoying to play.

 

Has anyone had this problem before? Does anyone know how to fix something like this? I've tried the obvious things like the RemoveSpell command (with every imaginable name I could think of that this spell might be), but it's looking like it's stuck on for good. If anyone can help, I'd sure be grateful.

Nevermind, it was an ancient bug that I'd forgotten about. If you have constant effect items equipped sometimes those temporary effects will stick for some odd reason. If anyone else is having the problem: unequipping and reequipping any constant effect item should remove the stuck effect.
