Ice Spike (Skyrim)

Ice Spike is an Apprentice-level Destruction spell in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Similar to the path of an arrow, the caster ejects a spike of ice from the palm. The spell requires time to charge as well as time to reach its target, evening the ratio between damage and accuracy.

Usefulness
Damage caused by this spell reduces the target's Health as well as drains the target's Stamina for half as much of the health damage. This spell also slows the target down. Ice Spike stuns targets if dual-casting with the Destruction Dual Casting Impact Perk from the Destruction skill tree. Frost mages and Forsworn often use this spell to hit their enemies from afar. From the third person viewpoint, players can view Ice Spikes lodge in their avatars.
