Is magic viable in Morrowind...

Is magic viable in Morrowind? I want to play as a glorious foreing paladin agent who's there to investigate nasty daedric worship.

Less so than in the later games, since magicka doesn't recover naturally without resting, but cranking out restore potions is pretty easy, and there are some absorb items that can really help.

the whole thing of going through dungeons using magic then taking a nap in some bandit's bedroll or the ground before continuing to recharge always seemed exceptionally retarded to me even by the standards of typical RPG weirdness

weak early in the game but ridiculously broken and fun later on

Paladins are gay. Have a drink instead.

Vancian magic systems were never meant to be convenient, or particularly well translated in video games.

If you use the alchemy/enchanting exploit, super op. Otherwise meh.

Sorry i've not actually played morrowing I just saw "flinging spells and napping" on the front page and assumed it was based on the game's age.

Is it just a really slow MP bar or something?

It's an MP bar, but you normally need to rest to recover it (unless you have a restore magicka potion or an absorb magicka item). If you picked the atronach sign, then you automatically convert half of all magic used against you into magicka, but you can't recover it by resting.
