Calm (Skyrim)

Calm is a spell of the Illusion school of magic that reduces the target's inclination to attack. The magnitude is how much the target's aggression is reduced and the spell only works on NPC's/creatures up to the level specified. Undead and Daedra cannot be calmed.

This spell is useful if you accidentally cause someone to attack you (whether through a quest, assaulting them or by using Frenzy) and wish to talk to them. It can also come in handy if you want to hold something fairly still and can't afford to use Paralyze; attacking them will raise their aggression, so further calming will be required.

It may also be possible to enchant a weapon with the Calm effect and have the enchantment cancel out any aggression caused by the weapon's damage!
