Damage Fatigue (Morrowind)

"This effect lowers the value of a victim's fatigue. Any derived attributes are recalculated. Fatigue does not return to its original value at the end of the spell's duration; it restores normally, or may be restored with a restore fatigue spell or potion. The magnitude is the units of fatigue lost each second of duration."

―The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Construction Set^[src]

Damage Fatigue is a magic effect in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind that is a member of the Destruction school of magic, governed by Willpower. Its base Magicka cost is 4.00 points.

Cure[edit | edit source]

The lost Fatigue can be recovered by using a potion, scroll, or spell consisting of a Restore Fatigue effect, or by normal means (resting, waiting, or simply avoiding strenuous activities for an extended period of time).

Trivia[edit | edit source]

This effect can quickly reduce an opponent's Fatigue, making it particularly useful during hand-to-hand combat.
Unlike Drain Fatigue this effect can not knock down an adversary (see Bugs).
The debilitating benefits of reducing an opponent's Fatigue include lowering their ability to block or dodge attacks, land a hit with a weapon, and successfully cast spells.
Poison is the only ingredient in Morrowind or expansion packs that consists of a Damage Fatigue effect.
