who is ondusi

A really good locksmith apperently.

Or someone who really hated doors. Or hinges, specifically...

this is serious i really want to know who the heck is ondusi ive been using his or her spell for years

Well, I was hoping the fact that we didn't answer your question showed you that it's a difficult question to answer, and by difficult I mean we don't know. Proweler is much more knowledgeable in the lore than I am, so if he can't answer the question, it's safe to say that there's probably not a coherent answer to it.

well i tried to search ondusi (on uesp)it didnt show anything about him/her except the spell and ondusi's key ill search the imperial library

Walter:
It's just some random guy. There's nothing about him in lore, so it's safe to say he knew his locks.

what does ondusi mean

...because he's a random guy who just happens to have a spell. Other people have spells too.

yeah this topic isnt going nowhere fast like the topic has the boots of blinding speed on running through red mountain at night while it ash storming

An Alteration master most likely, if he (or she?) wasn't a locksmith, or thief. And probably a Dunmer judging by the name. There really isn't any lore on the possible person behind the name. The Imperial Library didn't have much but to say it was of the school of Alteration.

The name Ondusi only shows up on a scroll, yes? That would make it seem as if he, or she, is a magic-user if this Ondusi is the maker of the scrolls as well, the same if it is also a spell (I don't remember right off). A thief, I'm guessing, wouldn't want to so openly advertise his profession as having a spell named after him. A locksmith I could see having such a spell, just in case his tools don't prove sufficient.

Ondusi could also be the name of a legendary, mythical, or even fictional character from a story and the spell was named such by whoever actually created the spell/scroll because they liked the tale and wanted to honour the character. Maybe. Dunno, but I personally like this one. It could make an interesting legend-type story, there's a very rich tapestry to draw from.

Those are my two cents, anyway. They probably won't be much help, but there they are. ^_^

If your TIL search didn't bring anything up, that's probably the best you're gonna get.

Ondusi was a great 2E mage who was born without hands. Throughout his childhood he displayed a natural talent for the school of Alteration but one thing still eluded him. It was impossible for him to open even the smallest door because he simply couldn't turn the handle (having no hands).

Because of this he went on to creat a Open spell that was able to literaly rip the hinges right off a door, allowing him to simply push the door open with his arm-stubbs. Thus the spell of Ondusi's Unhinging was born, much to the schegrin of door makers and his aquantinces.

whered you get that?

It's humor.

how many ondusi items are there

it makes sence

Ondusi's Open Door, a common spell.
Ondusi's Unhinging, a (very) common scroll.
Ondusi's Key, an enchanted ring (in the CS, but not in the game?).

Master alterationist Ekash, however, is known only from his scrolls.

can you close or lock this topic because as i said this topic isnt going nowhere fast like the topic has the boots of blinding speed on running through red mountain at night while it ash storming well my opinion plus on my xbox morrowind i just got the ondusi's key ring from the telvanni wizard that lives in gnisis

Closed by request. Sorry, not much is known about many of the mages who created spells that bear their names.
