📋 About This Mod
PRELUDE
This is a redo of my previous Pool of Forgetfulness mod. The previous version was functional, but not very practical because it reset ALL your skills at once to 15 and could only be used a single time. Well since then, I've had this itch to expand upon the mod and really shape it into something more than just a proof of concept. With that, I set out back into the Construction Kit in order to bring this mod back up to my standards.
INTRODUCTION
If you've ever explored the Ghostfence region in Morrowind, then you may have stumbled upon the Pool of Forgetfulness within Sharapli.
It might have invoked your curiosity but the fact is that it does literally nothing. It's not part of any quest, you can't interact with it, you can only stare at in wonder (as in, wonder why the developers bothered putting it in the game at all.)
But I myself thought, surely such an interesting pool can be given meaning?
Then I thought, what hasn't been done in Morrowind yet?
Then it hit me like a pool of water.
WHAT THIS MOD DOES
This mod allows you to lower any skills that you've reached maximum proficiency in (i.e. they're at 100) back to 15 (thus allowing them to be leveled up once more) by visiting the Pool of Forgetfulness, similarly to the legendary system from Skyrim. Simply interact with the pool and a menu will appear, from which you can select the skill that you wish to lower. There is no limit to how often you can do this and you can even lower the same skill multiple times, provided of course that you reach max proficiency once more before revisiting the PoF. Now you may be asking, why would anyone want to willingly handicap themselves like this?
The answer is simple: leveling.
In vanilla Morrowind, as you should already know, leveling up is possible only through the advancement of your character's major and minor skills. Once all ten of them hit 100, you're unable to level up further. Because of this, there's a strong min-max meta in Morrowind, and people often forget to just enjoy the game without worrying about being the best. With this mod installed, you'll not only NOT have to worry about min-maxing, but you can now theoretically level up your character an infinite number of times to boot, hassle free, simply by resetting any of your your major and minor skills again and again.
INSTALLATION
Simply put the .esp inside you Morrowind Data Files folder.
(NOT SO) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Where do I find the Pool of Forgetfulness?
Well in case you've missed the link, it's in Sharapli, which is just northwest of Ghostgate. You can see a picture of the map with a red X over Sharapli in the images for this mod.
Does this/can this reset all my skills at once?
Nope, unlike the old version of this mod, you can select the individual skill(s
This Skyrim mod adds a Pool of Forgetfulness in Sharapli, letting you reset any mastered skill to 15, mirroring the Legendary system. It's for players who want to break the leveling softcap without using the official Legendary mechanic. With 43 endorsements and last updated in 2016, it's a niche but functional gameplay tweak.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Gives you control over which skills to reset, unlike the all-or-nothing Legendary option.
- Tucked away in Sharapli, so it's a nice little discovery for explorers.
- Decent community trust with 43 endorsements from 795 downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — might not play nice with newer Skyrim versions or mod setups.
- Only 43 endorsements, so it's a niche pick; don't expect widespread testing.
- No detailed instructions or compatibility notes from the author, so you're on your own if issues pop up.
For Skyrim players who want to reset individual skills without using the vanilla Legendary system, especially those who like exploring for hidden mechanics. Skip if you're fine with the base game's Legendary feature or want a more polished, actively maintained mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you've actually mastered a skill (level 100) before trying to reset it, or the pool won't work.
- Since it's an older mod, check your Skyrim version and consider using a mod manager to avoid overwriting issues.
- Visit Sharapli early to unlock the pool, but plan your resets—you'll lose all perk points invested in that skill.
