Why does my newest character see weird purple and gold lights in first person mode?

These lights come from the top and bottom of the screen and move towards the middle. They're only visible with first person camera and only on this character. It's a redguard templar with some sai sahan style things on, if that matters. I have no buffs whatsoever on what might do this.

Is this a bug or some weird feature that I don't understand?

It reminds me of migraine attacks I had years ago and I'm fearing looking at stuff like this too often might trigger them again.

    Do you have the Elsweyr set on you, the new sneaking one, Darloc Brae?

    A lot of skills and gear sets display like this when in first person. The gold lights look like a healing skill.

    I do! I must've got 5+ parts almost immediately and since it doesn't show any buff or any effect on third person, it seemed really buggy.

    Thank you!

    I think it does show in 3rd person when you're in stealth. But, I'm not 100% certain.

    @starkerealm You're correct, in 3rd person mode the animation happens when you are in stealth.

    Yes it's Darloc Brae, I have the same issue in first person, even when I'm not sneaking. I have to remove a piece if I want to take a screenshot without the glowy balls.

    Darloc Brae! I'm loving that set, other than the weird visual hiccup we're discussing here. Pairs perfectly with Night's Silence and some swift jewelry, to where you can sneak at faster-than-walking speeds within an arms length of NPCs and they are none the wiser. Would be even better as a Khajiit.
