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.
