Every Morrowind player learned this lesson early on.

Technically the problem there is the effect of that scroll wears off before you hit the ground.

Tarhiel was carrying three other scrolls, so he may have planned ahead with one for the jump and one for the landing each time and just didn't manage to use one of them. Though that raises the question of why he'd use a presumably very valuable prototype scroll instead of just using Potions of Slowfalling or Scrolls of Tinur's Hoptoad.

Yeah, Idk. I found an amulet of slowfall somewhere and ended up using them to hanglider around. He's probably just a dumbass.

From what I can find, there's two unique magic items that can grant slowfall. He may not have had access to them. Though I've heard it has a pretty powerful crafting system, so you could probably make them as needed?

Yeah the enchanting and spellcrafting in that game is pretty freeform. Moreso than Skyrim or Oblivion.

I learned a similar lesson without the scrolls. Spent way too much time buffing alchemy and ended up with lots of game-breaking potions. My acrobatics buff potion was astronomically powerful and lasted practically forever, so my character launched into orbit and just never came down.
