Trivia[]
- Frostbite creates harmless "ice shards" if cast 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.
- Mage-type Draugr commonly use this spell in battle. It is also used by Novice Ice Mages, Cryomancers
, and some Vampires.
- Casting it at the ground at an approaching enemy will cause minor damage to them when they walk over it, as well as some damage over time. Ice Storm and the Frost Breath shout also have this effect.
Bugs[]

This section contains bugs related to Frostbite (Skyrim). Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
|
- 360 If the attack button is just barely tapped while the spell is equipped 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.
