Spells with constant effects

[Astorius]

Is it possible to create an item which grants nighteye, detect dead, detect life, and clairvoyance as a constant effect, but continually drains your magic as a side-effect?

[Sunnie]

Yes, but its a PITA to do with current tools. The toolset will make doing this much easier. Well, most of them anyway. Spells like Clairvoyance won't work as a maintained effect because the path is only drawn for a few yards and has to be recalculated regularly, which only happens when initiating the spell.

 

Edit: Come to think of it, detect life/death spells also have limits because of their effect radius. When you use any of these spells (including Aura Whisper shout), the effect radius only looks for creatures/npcs at the time the spell is cast, any creatures outside that effect radius will not be displayed even if they come into range until you recast the spell.
