Effects

Effects are certain properties found in The Elder Scrolls series that affect the Hero in some manner. This can be in the form of a spell, from getting hit by a weapon with an in-built effect, from receiving a Disease, from taking a potion, reading a scroll, praying at a Wayshrine, be an in-build Character bonus, or one of several other reasons. The result, though, is that some particular statistic of the player has been altered in a specific, special way, either temporarily or permanently.
