Ice Spike is an Apprentice-level Destruction spell in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Similar to the path of an arrow, the caster ejects a spike of ice from the palm. The spell requires time to charge as well as time to reach its target, evening the ratio between damage and accuracy.
Usefulness[]
Damage caused by this spell reduces the target's health as well as drains the target's stamina for as much of the health damage. This spell also slows the target down. Ice Spike stuns targets if dual-casting with the Impact perk from the Destruction skill tree.
