Fury

Makes low-level creatures and people attack anything nearby.

Fury drives creatures and people up to level 6 into a rage for 30 seconds, attacking whatever is nearest. Altmer start the game knowing it. It’s the weakest of the frenzy spells, below Frenzy and Mayhem.

Tips

Cast unseen on a crowd, it can start a brawl that takes care of a target for you – a trick some Dark Brotherhood assassins swear by.
