Weird golden moths flitting around the head in Skyrim Dragonborn

skyrim-dragonbornthe-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I noticed this after doing about 4 of the Hermaeus Mora quests involving books, where you get to choose a perk at the end. My character has a cloud of golden particles flitting around the head like moths, and various people in cities tell me to 'be careful with that spell'.
What magical effect causes this, and is there a way to turn it off?

Best Answer

That sort of effect is usually applied to healing effects, spells or powers. If none of your active effects mention anything to do with healing, then you may have just encountered a bug. Skyrim's not exactly the most stable game, after all ;)
