Ironflesh adds 80 points to your armor rating for a minute – the third Mage Armor spell, after Stoneflesh and before Ebonyflesh. With the Mage Armor perk you get 160 instead, provided you’re not wearing armor.
Tips
Pair it with a cloak spell like Lightning Cloak and you can wade into melee while the cloak does the damage.
