Now, here's my problem. After I activated the Shrine of Daring (To Stop the Moon), my levitation has been broken. I try to levitate, it just has my character stuck in mid-jump, and the sound that plays when you land a jump keeps playing constantly. When I hit the rest button, it lets me rest, instead of saying "You can only rest on solid ground", but my character does have the levitation effect and even the little purple circle effect underneath my character appears.

When I reloaded a save just before activating the Shrine of Daring, I was able to levitate successfully. When loading a save just after, my levitation was broken. And when I activated the shrine with the pre-Shrine save, no problems occurred. This leads me to believe that I broke my levitation due to some weird bug because IIRC, I was in mid-air when I activated the shrine, and my character also absorbed the blessing due to being womb burned (Atronach Birthsign).

If this is fixable at all without reverting to that old save, please help me! I would lose about 20 hours of gameplay, and I really don't want to do that. Don't ask me how I went 20 hours without noticing this problem, because I have no idea, but I can't use levitation at all and my character is a member of House Telvanni for Pete's sake!

I have tried to explain my problem in as much detail as I can, but if you need anything else to try and help me, please don't hesitate to ask! I tried to get a screenshot to show you, but my MGE isn't letting me enable screenshots and I already tried manually editing the .ini, still no luck.

isnt that the one that gives you levitation for 24 hours? try activating it then NOT casting levitate, wait 24 hours and then cast levitate.

Yes, it is the shrine which gives you the 24 hour levitation blessing. But I'm not sure you understand my problem. I activated the shrine to fulfill the Seven Graces Pilgrimages, and this was over 20 hours of gameplay ago. Now, I realize that my levitation does not work. I traced the problem back to this shrine.

I believe that is a bug from the original game. I remember seeing warnings the first time I played to save before starting it (activating the shrine) and to make sure you don't have any levitation working on your character when you do. Have you got the code patch (MCP) installed? I believe they tried to fix this.

All I can suggest is that you wait the full 24 hours (in-game) and then attempt to cast a levitation spell and see if they both deactivate when the one you cast (a short one if you have it) finishes.

You could also go into the console commands (tilde) and "SetFlying 0" and see if that works. That should disable the levitation.

Otherwise, my only suggestion would be to go back to an earlier save.

I know of the bug where levitation is persistent. My bug is different in that any time I use levitation, I don't actually fly. It's like I'm hovering, but I can't move upwards, only frontwards, backwards, and side to side. And I am stuck in mid-jump. I have no problem with levitation not wearing off, it just doesn't work.

Hmm. Then, perhaps use the console to setflying to 1 or 2 and see if that helps. If it works, set it back and try casting the spell normally afterward.

When you donated to the shrine, have you been in God Mode (TGM) or something like that? If so, you'll have to bite the bullet and go back to the older saves.

No, I wasn't in god mode, but I DID absorb the levitation blessing with my 50 spell absorption from being an atronach.
I remember absorbing the blessing before and this not happening, though. Weird if that caused it, but I'd believe it.

I tried using setflying, didn't help. In fact, when I used the setflying command, my character didn't fly or hover or anything. Not sure if that is working as designed, since I don't use the setflying command too often, but seems odd to me.

If nobody else ever encountered this bug, I might be screwed and just have to go back to the old saves. Really a shame, but oh well.

I shouldn't think so, spell absorption never has been an issue for me before. There is another bug that I remember. If you touch the shrine at midnight of the last day of a month...
Also it could be that you just have encountered another new, savegame persistent glitch there.

Yeah, I have absorbed the blessing before with no problems, so I doubt that's the problem. But I guess I have found a new glitch in a decade old game. Lucky me, huh? At least I know now to save before using the shrine and make sure levitation works after I use it. Add it to my long list of 'make sure a game breaking bug doesn't happen' precautions I've gotta have when playing this game, lol.

If anybody comes up with a magic solution go ahead and post it. But since that seems unlikely, I'm going to revert to my old saves.
This is the trouble with finding a new bug. Nobody else has had it, and nobody else can fix it usually, but at least it's interesting.

Have you been to mournhold? You may have inadvertently left a mournhold cell without the levitation ban being lifted. This could be caused by TCLing through a door you shouldn't have or a script that didn't finish working properly. I can't remember the console command of the top of my head, and a quick check at UESP didn't show it, but I know it exists. IIRC it's "enable levitation" (without the quotes) but I'm not sure. Maybe someone else will remember it.

This actually worked once I did it right. I had previously only tried typing "setflying 1" and "setflying 2". When I used "player->setflying 1", my levitation worked! If I use "player->setflying 0", my levitation is bugged again, but I have left setflying at 1 with no problems so far, I don't constantly fly or anything, so my levitation must be REALLY weird, but it works.
The cause of this bug seems to be that I hit the Shrine of Daring while in mid-jump.
So a word of warning to any Tribunal Temple Initiates! Never activate shrines while jumping, it displeases Almsivi greatly and you will have to spend a whole day trying to appease them in order to continue your travels!

Thank you guys a lot for helping me fix this problem!
