Ok so I'm testing out Jzargo's scrolls and get too close to an undead when I cast it and I light on fire as well. I don't mind being on fire I guess, but then Lydia gets too close to me while I'm on fire and she catches on fire, I get some message that she leaves my service, and then she starts attacking me to the death because she thinks I was attacking her. I have no way to yield, no way to talk to her, and it's ridiculous. The damage she took should have been considered as "enemy fire" and not considered "friendly fire".

I'm pretty forgiving with bugs, but I value my companions and I think this should be fixed. The engine acted like I struck her with my sword 10 times in a row.

Wrong section of the forum to post this, I think.

I keep on burning to death when I do that quest - and, yes, I run away. not sure what I am doing wrong. My long dead Lydia also kept leaving my service. She would still waltz over even after the 'wait here' command.

Do you think the cheats/hints/spoilers section is more appropriate? Don't really see a bug report forum

tell lydia to go back home -.-

It's not a bug.

The scrolls DO make you catch on fire. It's essentially a flame cloak spell with severe side effects.

Anything that approaches within a six foot radius cuases the explosion effect which lights everything on fire, living or undead. The flames came from you, so yes, it was friendly fire.

The damage is also pretty severe. You can die very quickly using them and it is indeed the equivilant of you hitting her ten times in a row.

Make her wait somewhere else when you use it.

Just started this quest and now the fun is spoiled >:l
