Icy Spear is an Expert-level Destruction spell in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Icy Spear can be considered an upgraded version of Ice Spike as it behaves similarly but with higher damage.
Effects[]
When cast, Icy Spear causes 60 points of frost damage to a target's Health, and 60 points of damage to a target's Stamina. Like Ice Spike, Icy Spear launches a single projectile, which must be charged between casts.
Usefulness[]
When dual cast with the Impact and Augmented Frost perks, or a Destruction potion, it will always stagger an opponent, regardless of the creature's size or type.

Trivia[]
- Icy Spears which hit enemies will continue to exist after they die until you leave the area. This makes the corpses easy to spot from a distance for looting.
- Icy Spears appear to be larger than Ice Spikes.
- Icy Spears appear to spin in-flight, as evidenced by its swirling frost trail.
