Calm (Skyrim) is an Apprentice-level Illusion spell in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim that reduces the target's inclination to attack for 30 seconds. The magnitude is the level affected – the spell only works on Characters/creatures up to the level specified. Undead, Daedra and automatons cannot be calmed without the Master of the Mind perk.

UsefulnessEdit

• This spell is useful if the player accidentally cause a character to attack (whether through a quest, by assaulting them, or by using Frenzy), or if the player wishes to talk to an adversary (accidental or not) who will not yield.
• If the player needs time to self-heal or recover from fatigue, Calm may hold a creature or person fairly still allowing the time to recover.
• If the player is taking on two enemies at once, calm may be used on one of them while attacking the other; however, attacking the target will raise its aggression level, so further calming will be required.
• Also useful when the player's vampirism causes nearby characters to be hostile.
• The player can also exploit this spell to level up their illusion skill.
