Enchanting description: Undead up to level <mag> flee for <dur> seconds.

Turn Undead causes undead enemies, such as draugr, skeletons, and vampires to flee in terror. Despite being a Fear-like effect, the magnitude of Turn Undead is not affected by Aspect of Terror or Restoration Dual Casting. The maximum level is increased by Necromage.

When part of a spell or staff, the effect includes an additional "stagger" when the projectile hits an undead target, regardless of whether the target is of the correct level to be affected. This is not present on weapons enchanted with the effect.
