Weird distorting aura around NPC?

[GlaringThroughOblivion]

So I've had this problem for a while now and I've been able to ignore until recently, as it's now to the point that I just can't stand it anymore.

 

For some reason, a few important NPCs in the game have this weird blue-ish, distorting, magical aura that appears and disappears every few seconds. While I was able to stomach this on some NPCs I don't see that often in my play-through, like Tullius or Elisif, this effect is now affecting Miraak, which is a problem since he's my follower. Just to show you how annoying this is, it does this every few seconds:

 

 

I've tried to find people with similar problems but it appears absolutely no one has ever had this bug before.

 

Can someone please help me resolve this? I'm really desperate.

Thanks for the reply, myuhinny

 

I first tried the command 'dispelallspells' and while the effect disappeared for a few seconds, it came right back after that.

 

I then tried to look through the forum you linked to see if anyone had the effect code of this glitch and it appears that absolutely no one has had this problem before. Or, if they did, they just didn't ask for help anywhere.

 

Thanks a lot for your help, though. Does anyone else have any ideas how to fix this? I'm getting really desperate at this point.

That actually makes a lot of sense (Miraak's robes have a 15% to absorb spells), I never even thought that could be an issue before. Thanks yatol! 

 

Unfortunately, even after removing the spell absorption enchantment on Miraak's robes through the CK, the blue aura was still there.

 

In order to check to see if his armor still have the enchantment on them, I had to "set" his standard outfit on AFT. Miraculously, once his armor reset, the distorting effect was gone. 

 

... Really weird, right? Oh well, I'm just really glad that's done and over with. Thanks everyone for your help, it really meant a lot!
