Odd spell effects

[Blacksnake89]

In CS I have found a few strange spell effects that I have no idea what they do. I want to know what are these effects, what do they do, can they be used? The first is water damage but that has been discussed in another thread. The second is shadow and has the label DO NO USE what the hell is that one and what happens if I do use it?. The next is the merunes dagon custom effect. There are a few other's I can't remember off hand I'll add those into this post at a later time. I think there are 3 or 4 others.

Mehrunes Dagon #3 is my favorite "kill goblin" spell. Powerful. I don't remember its specific effects off my head. Shadow "Do not use"? I'm not sure what that's about, but shadow spells usually make your character "chamelion" = invisible.

 

Water Damage? I think that's a new one on me, maybe SI? I haven't spent much time over there yet. It creeps me out.

From what I remember, there was also a "lock" spell (like the opposite of unlock) that is another *DO NOT USE* spell. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think lock was also a spell in Morrowind that lets you lock doors for some reason. The way I see it, Bethesda had a bunch of other spells being planned, (like the water and shadow that you mentioned) but I guess they scrapped those ideas before they really started to develop them. In the console, you can use the "lock x" command (where x=a number 1-100 that indicates the difficulty of the lock) so they even added the script for it. I'm also pretty sure that the "Mehrunes Dagon Custom Effect" is used by Dagon himself when you encounter him at the end of the game.

Well I just figured out what shadow does and it looks really cool but using it causes a lot of CTD's. Water damage is the damage dealt by lava and when you start drowning. It was designed so there would be a damage type you cannot resist. it's used to prevent you from stacking your fire resist and walking over lava. it's also made so you wont die instanly if you have a fire weakness. I still haven't messed with the merunes dagon custom effect.

Edit: Oh I made a fun little dagger I call the wabba dagger I don't think I need to explain what it does. I wonder if I should release it.

Mehrunes Dagon custom effect is probably just the invulnerability of Mehrunes. Since there is no way to kill him without using the "Kill" command in the console. I even thrown all my resized dragons at him, and he just brushed them to one side lol.
