Ash Shell is an Adept Alteration spell from the Dragonborn add-on. It traps a target in a shell of hardened ash for 30 seconds. The target cannot fight back, but it cannot be hurt either. The spell takes one enemy out of a crowded fight while the caster deals with the rest.

Spell Tome

Ash Shell is learned by reading Spell Tome: Ash Shell. Talvas Fathryon sells the tome.

Gameplay Tips

Dragons and Ash Spawn are immune to the spell.
Casting it on a guard angers neither the guard nor the law. Redoran Guards in Raven Rock are the exception.

Notes

A target sealed in ash stays hidden from Detect Life.
