Command Humanoid up to level L for D seconds.

Make the targeted humanoid fight for you for D seconds. The afflicted humanoid will behave very much like a summoned creature. They will ignore your presence, engage hostiles, and will turn hostile if you hit them 3 times.

For calculating magicka costs of this spell, the level needs to be converted into a magnitude, see Magnitude to Level Conversion. One implication is that the enemy levels affected by any Command Humanoid spell will be less than the quoted values if your Spell Effectiveness is less than 100%.

[edit] Tips

• Commanded humanoids are ripe for some back stabbing. Just command them, get some stealth attacks in, and command them again.
• Using command humanoid spells on otherwise non-hostile NPCs can result in a significant drop in their disposition towards you.
