What's going on and is there anything I can do about it? I use a lot of cheap fortify attribute spells which wear of at the maximum speed and I noticed the drop after I started using a fortify speed weapon. So I can still play if I use stronger fortify spells, but I think my charcter's going to be crippled by the time she meets Tharn. At least she's rich enough hire her own nurse and a bungalow when she retires in her 30's.
