    The spell used by Dawnbreaker isn't the same as 'Bane of the Undead' but it's very similar.  I'm playing around with how to break it down and how we can turn it into an insane weapon against the undead (more so than it already is).

    These are some great discoveries James, especially regrading Necromage which is one of my favourite perks in the game! It's interesting to see that Fireball actually out-damages Incinerate once you account for the extra damage done by the afterburn. +1

    I was amazed at how far I could push the damage of Fireball, an AoE spell shouldn't be that lethal.

    I think the most interesting thing I learnt from all of the testing for this was that Draugr, under certain circumstances, are able to use potions. It's actually quite fascinating what you can make NPC's do.

    I still see almost everyone cite undead being weak to fire which is slightly disappointing.

    Yeah I think that's just such a classic fantasy trait for undead that it's assumed. Not to mention the player has a weakness to fire as a vampire which does nothing to change that view.

    that is somewhat odd that the player gets the malus while NPC's don't

    Do any other fire spells do significant taper damage? Or is it only Fireball/Firestorm/Vampire's Bane?
