I need to enlist some helpers to verify whether or not this is a glitch in my current game or not, and if it is replicable.

DESCRIPTION:

I have a new player char that I ran from Helgen, to Markarth (and got the Magelight Spell) to Solitude (on the way I ran his Alteration up to 50 with magelight), to Dawnstar, and then to the College of Winterhold.

At the College, I got the Telekinesis spell from Tolfdir, and did the "Cleansing of the Fanes" quest for the Illusion teacher there.

When I turned around after giving the gloves back to the Illusion teacher I was in the Arcaneum. On the right as I was leaving was a small table with a goblet next to a wine bottle - just for fun I decided to levitate it.

THE TELEKINESIS SPELL DID NOT USE ANY MAGICKA...

Some of you know me from my earlier work - and are aware of my wild "Early Game Level Up Accelleration" methods, but this was without any preparation by making special apparel to fortify Alteration.

Normally, we need to have maximum enchanting ability and the master robes of alteration to do this. Using max enchanting we make extra equipment that further reduces the cost of Alteration spells, and increases magicka regeneration.

In this case I had a dwarven helmet with +9 Fortify Alteration, and the Expert Robes of Alteration, but I took them off to see what happenned:

It made no difference!

The goblet was still levitating (using a rubber band on the XBOX controller) and the blue line never showed up.

I want to find out if this is a FLUKE or if it works this way every time, because if it does there is a massive means of jumping up in levels here that I never suspected before.

In theory - a new Player Char could be run up to Level 50 Alteration using the skill book for magelight and provided they could afford the spell Telekinesis from Tolfdir when they arrive at the college it could be tested out.

It doesn't have to be a brand new char, it can be a save that was already out of Helgen with however much build-up.

It is possible that this is just a glitch that I have stumbled onto by luck, but if it isn't it could be the fastest way yet to gain full perks on as many skills as you have so early in the game that it's amazing

*Running up Alteration using the TK spell causes level ups to happen quickly. By making Alteration (the skill) legendary when it hits 100 you can run it up again, so it is a way to make an unlimited number of levels happen very fast

** I don't know if the "Cleansing of the Fanes" quest had anything to do with it.

*** I also tried leaving the Arcaneum and using the spell, and the effect went away (I was just downstairs, still in the Hall or the Elements)

~WHYEVER it works (if it does for others) it could be a "ONE TIME ONLY" for doing the Cleansing of the Fanes quest
