Bloodworm Helm

The Bloodworm Helm is a leveled light helmet encountered during The Bloodworm Helm quest in the Mages Guild questline. It must be given up after the quest and cannot subsequently be retrieved. The level 1-4 helm also allows you to cast the apprentice-level version of the Essence Drain spell when wearing the helm.

Bugs

• The level 5 or higher versions of the helm are supposed to also provide higher level Essence Drain spells when worn, but due to a glitch in the helm scripts you do not get any spell at all for all but the lowest-level one. Also, the Essence Drain spell would have stuck to you permanently in some circumstances, even after the helm is removed/dropped, if that second glitch wasn't also patched simultaneously.
  • The Unofficial Oblivion Patch, version 1.7.0, fixes this bug.
