What was your favorite spell or enchantment that you made in Oblivion?

One day, while messing around, I had picked up a Glass Sword for the first time. So I immediately ran to the nearest enchanter I could to slap a sick effect on it. As I scrolled through the options I saw "Drain Health", and thought that meant it would drain health and give it back to me (I was completely unaware of the distinction between 'Drain' and 'Absorb' at the time). So I put the effect on and wanted to maximize the damage, so I set the duration down to 1 second. I think the end result was a Drain effect of about 1000 Health for one second. I quickly found out that it did not heal me as I had hoped, but discovered a new effect. Since most of the creatures of the game had well below the Drain's effect in health, most of them were dying before the duration wore off. I had unintentionally created a sword that could quite litterally 1 Shot 99% of the things in the game. In a later version of the same enchant, I gave it an AoE effect with relatively the same damage.

I called it "Sword of a Thousand Truths". Unoriginal I know, but it was a hell of a nice sword.
