Frenzy (Skyrim)

Frenzy is a spell found in in the school of Illusion that increases multiple targets' inclination to attack, in a small area. Effecively, it has the opposite effect of Calm. The magnitude is the level affected; this spell only works on characters and creatures up to the level specified, unless it is dual-cast while having attained the Illusion Dual Casting perk, in addition to certain perks in the Illusion skill tree that increase the spell's effectiveness. Automatons, Undead, and Daedra cannot be frenzied until the Perk, Master of the Mind, in the Illusion tree is achieved.

Usefulness

 * It is important to note that Frenzy raises the inclination for the target to attack anything, not specifically the player or a specific enemy, which may cause strange effects with the Radiant AI (characters killing each other, etc.).


 * This spell is useful when the player needs to kill someone, for a quest or otherwise, but doesn't wish to be prosecuted for assault or murder, as killing someone in self-defense is not a crime. However, casting frenzy on a friendly character within sight of a guard might result in an arrest.
 * When casting the spell on multiple targets, the ones closest to the caster will first seek out the caster unless the caster uses an invisibility spell, drinks a potion, or remain undetected by other means.
 * Using the culmulative perks raising the effectiveness of Illusion magic and dual-handed spellcasting, it is possible to Frenzy just about ANY enemy (Except Dragons) Even extremely high level enemies may be frenzied, including Draugr Death Overlords, Dwarven Centurion Masters, Forsworn Briarhearts, Falmer Shadowmasters, etc. (It will also prove to be much more effective than its Master level counterpart, Mayhem.)

Skill Training
A frenzy spell may also be a good way to train blade, blunt, or hand-to-hand skills. The spell may be used to anger a character that can't die (a character needed to complete a quest), and once the character begins to attack, the player may then fight back without being arrested. About 20 seconds later, the character should get back up, and the player may resume the fight.

Also an effective way of Hunting without Archery, or a destruction spell, it can cause Deer, and Elk to close to hand weapon range. This can level weapon skills, and provide leather for Smithing. One can alternate casting Pacify to quickly power level Illusion with large groups of NPCs such as Stormcloaks/Imperials/Forsworn.
