I like to use Westly's Kheran race, but they come with a racial ability for water breathing. Usually I don't do the Temple, but I'd like to on this character, and I don't know how I'm going to finish the pilgrimage to the Puzzle Canol, since you have to drown yourself. I tried just removing the spell, and that works, but I can't seem to get the stupid thing to go back on once I'm finished. Readding it does nothing, the icons won't show up, and save/reload isn't helping either.

Is there some way I can make the activator force-field there fall without having to drown myself, or is there a way to put this ability back on once I've finished this shrine visit? Can I script a basic ring or something that would reapply it, since doing it through the console doesn't seem to be working out for me. Not that I'm a whiz at scripting, but Vampire abilities get added post-character creation so perhaps a script would work where the console is not?

get a damage health (or any elemental damage) on self spell and cast it a few times when underwater - it should deactivate the shrine and allow you to progress.

Genius. I had not even considered that. Thank you muchly!

Actually, you don't even need to be underwater. The underwater is in the same cell as the above water, therefor the script runs over the entire place.

Just hit yourself with magic and you'll be fine.

For any future reference, if you want to add or remove an ability just type either one of these:
(poison immunity for e.g.)

player->removespell "immune to poison"

player->addspell "immune to poison"

EDIT: Abilities work just the same as spells, they're just contant effect. You can essestially just give yourself vampirism, and loose the sun damage, if you want (Though that would svck, no pun intended ^_^)
