Weakness to Fire Poisons

Aversion to Fire poisons make a target 40 to 100 percent weaker to fire damage for 30 seconds, a perfect setup for fire spells.

These poisons, sold and looted under the name Aversion to Fire, leave a target far more vulnerable to flames for 30 seconds. On their own they deal no damage; their value lies in setting up whatever fire you bring next, whether that is a Destruction spell, an enchanted weapon or a dragon shout. Fire mages and spellswords who open a fight with a poisoned strike and follow up with flames will see their damage climb sharply.

Brewing your own

Apply the finished poison to your weapon; the next hit that connects passes the weakness to the target.
