Damage Health M points

Permanently lowers the Health of the target by M points. Note that this does not affect maximum health. This is one means of attacking creatures that are resistant to elemental damage such as Fire and Frost, though it is considerably more expensive in terms of casting cost.

Notes

• Another way of obtaining a Damage Health effect is with Absorb Health. Absorb Health spells cost the same amount of magicka as Damage Health, but have the added benefit of restoring your health. When creating enchanted items, Absorb Health is also a far better choice for non-elemental damage.
