Destruction

__NOTOC__
The School of Destruction focuses on the mastery of fire, frost and shock, and is used to cast spells like Fireball, Ice Spike, and Lightning Bolt. It is one of the eighteen skills that are available in Skyrim. The Destruction skill can be raised by the use of spells by the in-game character, these spells identify themselves as Destruction spells. They focus on causing damage with fire, frost, and lightning.
