Undead up to level <mag> flee for 30 seconds.

The Turn Undead spells are Restoration spells, which will cause an affected Undead enemy to flee from the caster for 30 seconds.

Effects

• Turn Undead, <mag> pts for 30 secs
• Turn Undead Push, 50 / 0 (see bugs) / 100 pts

Perks

• Necromage increases magnitude by 25% and duration by 50%.
• Restoration Dual Casting increases duration by 120%, but does not increase effect level.

The effective levels of undead that can be turned with these spells are:

Spell	Default	Necromage
Turn Lesser Undead	6	7
Turn Undead	13	16
Turn Greater Undead	21	26

The durations are the same for all spell levels, varying only with perks applying (remember, for dual casting, you need both the perk and to be dual casting it):

Perks	Duration (seconds)
None	30
Necromage	45
Dual Casting	66
Dual Casting, Necromage	99

Bugs

• The "Turn Undead Push" effect varies between these three spells. Notably in the "Turn Undead" spell, it has a magnitude of 0. This means it may stagger an opponent, but won't push them back.
  • The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 1.3.0, addresses this issue. The stagger effect for Turn Undead has been set to 75 pts.
