Frostbite (Skyrim)

Frostbite is a Novice-level destruction spell in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Casting it projects a continuous beam of cold through one or two palms. It slows enemies down while doing a base damage of 8 points per second to the target's health and stamina. It costs 6 magicka per second. This spell is one of the basic Destruction spells along with Flames and Sparks.

Usefulness

 * Frostbite must be used during the quest, Revealing the Unseen, to focus the Oculory. Aim the spell at the Dwarven apparatus to move the beams of light onto the ceiling.
 * Restless Draugrs and Draugr Wights commonly use this spell in battle.

Trivia

 * Frostbite creates harmless 'ice shards' if casted on an object or on ground.
 * Despite the majority of the population of Skyrim being frost-resistant Nords, frostbite is a very commonly used spell by hostile characters in the game.

Bugs

 * If the attack button is just barely tapped while the spell is equiped it may lock the animation in the hand to that of casting the spell, rather than the inactive animation.
 * Tapping again or casting the spell corrects this.
