Damage (spell)

From the OblivioWiki – your guide to everything Oblivion

Certain spells or enchanted items use magical damage to lower the value of a target's attributes, skills, health, magicka, or fatigue. Damaged attributes and skills can only be restored with a Restore effect spell, potion or by praying at an Altar of the Nine. The magnitude is the units lost each second of duration. This also applies to Damage effects, as in the effects of some ingredients. There is a fun trick involving damage fatigue. Eat a lot of Rat Meat or something else that damages fatigue. You will lose fatigue so fast that the game thinks you are getting damaged and will paralyze you depending on how much you ate.
