That's an interesting question. I do know that Dagoth's lieutenants are called "Ash Vampires" but the books go out of their way to emphasize that they aren't real vampires or undead. So I would go with no, they aren't undead. And they never died, really, so they're probably just living and corrupted.

Monster number one!

The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec: Sermon Twenty

The first monster was actually two, having been born twice like his mother-father, Vivec. He was not the mightiest of the eight to escape Muatra, but his actions were the most worrisome. He was known as Moon Axle, and he harvested the leftovers foibles of nature. This he did twice, as was said, and the second harvest always brought ruin or unwritten law. His aspect was faceted like a polyhedron.

No perils are mentioned in the finding of Moon Axle, but it was known that he was immune to spears, so Vivec had to use the sword not held against him. Before he took issue with the monster, the warrior-poet asked:

'How came you to be immune to spears?'

To which Moon Axle replied, 'Mine is a dual nature, and protean. I am in fact made of many straight lines, though none last too long. In this way I have learned to ignore all true segments.'

Luckily, the sword not held was curved and therefore could cut into Moon Axle, and before the sun was up he was bleeding from many wounds. Vivec did not slay him outright for to do so would to keep the foibles of nature within him and not back where they belonged. Soon Vivec had traced geography right again, and Moon Axle was ready to be slain.

Vivec rose up in his giant-form, to be terrible to look upon. He reached into the west and pulled out a canyon, holding it like a horn. He reached east and ate a handful of nix hounds. Blowing their spirits through the canyon made a terrible wail, not unlike an unsolved woman. He said:

'Let this overtake you,' and Moon Axle was overtaken by the curvatures of stolen souls. They wrapped about the monster like resin, until finally he could not move, nor could his dual nature.

Vivec said, 'Now you are solved,' and pierced his child with Muatra. Moon Axle had been reduced to something static, and therefore shattered.

The lines of Moon Axle were collected by Velothi philosophers and taken into caves. There, and for a year, Vivec taught the philosophers how to turn the lines of his son into the spokes of mystery wheels. This was the birth of the first Whirling School. Before, there had only been the surface thought of fire.

Vivec looked at his first wheeling students and observed:

'Alike the egg-layered universe is this morbid possession of three-distant coverage, soul-wrecked and alive, like my name is alive. In this cloister you have discovered one walking path, hilled like a sword but more coarsened. So edged it is that it has to be whispered to keep the tongue from bleeding, where its signs evacuate their former meanings, like empires that tarry too long.

'The sword is estrangement from statesmanship.

'Look on the estimable lines of my son, now crafted star-wise, his every limb equidistant from the center. Is he solved because I will it so? There cannot be a second stage. Think on the theory that my existence promulgates the five elements and alike the egg-layered universe I am cause for great density. Here is a thought that can break the wagon's axle; here is another that can soar.'

The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

So this weakness to magika and damage health spell seems to be the way to go? Weakness mag 100-100?

Mysticism as a main skill gives you telekinesis, all your teleports, reflect, spell absorption, and most importantly for early game absorb health. Its surprisingly cheap to cast and there's nothing like spamming it on a monster you have no business beating at level one and just watching your health shoot up like you've been chugging health potions. Destruction is for chumps.

Nope, you need mods to have constant mana regeneration.

You can use some exploits to regenerate mana, but it won't be constant.

Not for a constant effect, but would casting an absorb spell and then a self targeting spell(s) work?

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.

Enchant is a baller skill. Your charges last forever, soul gems refill like a boss, and it's insanely easy to level as a minor. Enchant a ring or whatever with more enchant skill, and congrats you can enchant anything in the game for free.

Also enchant a ring with destruction spells so you can machine gun spam cast it, which you can't do with regular spell casting. Spell schools are worthless, enchant does everything and more with only 1 skill slot.

get to at least level 10 before shelving this game if youre playing for the first time imo. levels 10 - 20 is when youre flying through dungeons, picking up artifacts, and by like 25 you realize your character is a demigod.

One of the best moments in Morrowind was actually exploring anywhere and usually finding something extremely cool for taking the time to do it.

just from wandering around punching the local mudcrabs, smugglers, and sovereign citizen murderer psychopath to death, my HTH skill has shot up from the starting 35 to 67

that means I am going to miss out on the 200 gold that Caius gives you if you report to him before level 4, but who gives a poo poo I'm about to dump a bunch of skooma and moon sugar on balmora's khajit population

I've always ignored Caius's advice to go talk to the Blades trainers, because I usually don't have very much money at that point to blow on training and my skills are usually low so they're not really worth spending money on, and also because I know I'll usually be able to find trainers better suited to teach the skills I want at whatever guild or faction I end up joining

I never knew that if you take his advice and go talk to the ones in Balmora and Seyda Neen while you're still a low level, they give you stuff and also useful advice

EG just down the road from Caius's place there's a warrior and healer who are both Blades trainers. The warrior gives you a steel helmet or cuirass, and says if you're not going to use them, you should sell them and save money for advanced training because it's expensive. The healer gives you some moon sugar and tells you to sell it to a Khajit.
