Function and mechanics

 * Like all Master-level spells, it requires both hands to cast, and takes some time to charge (around 4-5 seconds)
 * The charge up renders the Dragonborn immobile and vulnerable until cast or withdrawn. An easy solution is to use the Become Ethereal shout before casting. Another method is using illusion and dual casting invisibility wearing light armor and or muffle then going in the middle of a crowd and casting it.
 * After charging, the player can't cancel the spell by 'sheathing' (lowering) their hands. It is, however, possible to cancel the spell by going into the Magic section of the Inventory and deselecting the spell. Selecting a new spell will also cancel this effect (this will work for spells selected from the Magic section and the favorites tab).
 * If a different spell or weapon in the favorites tab is assigned to a hotkey, clicking on the hotkey cancels the spell. Note that clicking on a hotkey that is assigned to a consumable (e.g. potions) will not cancel the effect.
 * If staggered while using the spell, it cancels like any other spell.
 * Casting this spell in a confined space will cause all items to be blasted off of shelves. This could render a quest unfinishable, if a quest item is blasted to an unreachable location.
