Harmony is the Master version of Calm. Every creature and person up to level 25 within 250 feet of the caster stops fighting for one minute. One cast can quiet a whole battlefield.

Harmony is an end game spell. Drevis Neloren sells the tome at the College of Winterhold once the Illusion Ritual Spell quest is done.

Spell Tome

Harmony is learned by reading Spell Tome: Harmony. Drevis Neloren sells the tome.

How It Plays

Harmony is a Master ritual spell that needs both hands and a charge before it goes off. When it lands, every valid target in a huge circle around the caster stops fighting for a full minute. A battle that has spun out of control can end in a single cast.

The spell is useful for escapes and for avoiding needless fights. It can quiet a whole camp of bandits, a pack of wolves or a crowd that turned hostile by accident. Calmed enemies leave the caster alone unless they are attacked.

Compared with Calm and Pacify

Calm, the Apprentice spell, calms a single target up to level 9. Pacify, the Expert spell, calms a small group up to level 20. Harmony calms everything up to level 25 in a vast radius. Pacify can be dual cast to raise its level limit, which Harmony cannot.

Perks and Builds

The Master Illusion perk halves the large magicka cost of Harmony. Animage, Kindred Mage and Hypnotic Gaze all raise the level limit and stack with each other. Master of the Mind lets the spell work on undead, Daedra and automatons.

Perks and Reach

With Kindred Mage and Hypnotic Gaze, Harmony calms people up to level 43. Master of the Mind lets it work on undead, Daedra and Dwemer constructs, though the bonus levels of Kindred Mage and Animage do not apply to those targets. Level 25 already covers a large part of the enemies in Skyrim.

The spell takes about three seconds to charge with both hands. Its reach of 250 feet in every direction means a single cast can quiet a whole fort. A caster can use that window to deal damage, steal items or simply leave.

Harmony costs 1,052 magicka at a skill of zero, the highest of the Master Illusion spells.

Gameplay Tips

The Hypnotic Gaze perk lets the spell work on targets 8 levels higher, and the Kindred Mage perk adds 10 more levels against people.

Notes

Killing a calmed enemy with a single melee blow can crash the game. Magic, arrows or two separate hits avoid the problem.
