Flame Cloak is an Adept level Destruction spell in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Characteristics[]
Flame Cloak surrounds the caster in a wall of fire. If an enemy hits or gets too close to the caster, that enemy is set on fire for 8 points of damage. Also, if Flame Cloak is active, its damage is applied to the Dragonborn's melee damage.
Strategy[]
- Using Flame Cloak in conjunction with Ironflesh or other Mage-Armor Alteration spells allows the Dragonborn to get close to enemies without taking large amounts of melee damage.
- The spell is quite useful in Nordic Tombs, where Draugr and Skeletons reside, as undead are weak to fire spells.
- The spell can also be used to kill Slaughterfish, for the cloak will still work even if one is submerged in water; since attacking while swimming is normally impossible, using flame cloak is a viable way to damage them.

Trivia[]
- Dual casting doubles the range of the spell.
- J'zargo's Scrolls contain a Flame Cloak spell that deals damage to self and extra damage to Undead. There are 13 in all. This version of the spell can harm the Dragonborn's followers and make them hostile.
- Ancestor's Wrath, the Dunmer racial power, functions identically to Flame Cloak and produces the same amount of base damage; however, unlike Flame Cloak, Ancestor's Wrath may only be cast once per day.
- When the Dragonborn has a dead thrall, using flame cloak (or any elemental cloak) will immediately banish it.
- Estormo and Pyromancers use this spell in combat.
