I was around level 25 with a full set of daedric armour and a 53 armour repair skill. A few hammers would sort out all my dents and scratches to armour and weapons, magic or otherwise.

Then I went on one of the mage missions (the one where you have to cast spells at a pillar) and whilst mooching around in the lower levels of that place I met a few doom-wraiths.

Dispatched them, got the helmet, did the next mage quest and so on got to level 27. Decided it was time to mend the armour. Ching ching ching. 20 hammers later my armour was still not in good shape. EVERY attempt to repair cost me a hammer.
That's more than peculiar I thought. Then I looked at my skills etc, repairing skill is still 53 but my willpower has been sapped by something.
A few cure disease potions, a few visits to wayshrines and chapels and so on and still my willpower is adversely affected and I still break a hammer for every repair attempt.

Is this a bug or have I contracted "the incurable disease of despondancy and hammer breaking"?

Tonight I will be level 25 again and will have to replay those missions to try and avoid whatever weirdness is affecting my character. Gah got to slaughter more necromancers with my sword after paralysing them with my staff - so much better when they can't run away.

Anyone had a weird issue with repair hammers and incurable negative stat modifiers?

Happened to me too, I think the illness is called Astral Vapors? I used a restore attribute potion and that seemed to do the trick

I had astral vapours from some of the necromancers zombie chums (a mission or two after the pillar one) and a cure disease seemed to deal with that. Astral vapours affected 3 attributes as I recall however the willpower issue is still there and the hammer breaking is still there.

I will try a restore attribute potion (if I can find one) failing that it is replay from level 25 and try not to get infected.
Did I mention my staff of paralysis? Lovely. Zap, bang bang smack, Zap, bang bang smack. Eats up the charges though and costs a fortune.

I must get around to doing some enchanting, I would like to enchant a sword with paralysis and soul catching or similar.

Use the Azura Star to recharge the staff, and repeat as necessary. Using this method I never run out of charge for any of my magical weapons (and I carry 5 at all times). :)

Azura star ..... I like the sound of that, where do I get it?

Pretty sure different church gaffs restore different stats, i know some of my stats were only restored at certain places,

I'll try travelling about and I'll try out all the chapels, I don't really want to replay the last 2 levels and 3 mage quests.
However breaking hammers on EVERY attempt to repair when I have sufficient skill to repair magic items seems more than a little bugged.
