Each character can be configured with as many as 27 skills during the game. Skills come in three varieties (stealth, magic and combat) with nine skills in each category. At the onset, players may choose five major and five minor skills for each character. The unique spell system that Bethesda has incorporated into Morrowind allows you to combine any spell effects you've learned and fine-tune their power, range, effect, and more, to theoretically allow for an infinite number of spells.
