Notes

• This spell is normally unavailable if you join the vampires, as Florentius Baenius will be hostile to you. However, if you use a Pacify spell or item, you can calm him down so that he'll sell it to you. You must do this before you destroy the Dawnguard.
• The explosion caused by this spell will scatter objects around and may make loot harder to find.

Bugs

• The spell tome for this spell looks like a Destruction book, but it is actually Restoration.
  • PC Only This bug is fixed by version 1.2.1 of the Unofficial Dawnguard Patch.
• This spell will not damage reanimated enemies unless they were classed as undead before being killed. This is due to a missing condition check in the spell's settings (the spell only checks for the ActorTypeUndead keyword instead of also checking the IsUndead condition).
  • PC Only This bug is fixed by version 2.0.3 of the Unofficial Dawnguard Patch.
