Become Ethereal
Skyrim Dragon Shout

The Thu'um reaches out to the Void, changing your form to one that cannot harm, or be harmed.

Become Ethereal is a dragon shout in Skyrim with three words of power. Its words are Feim, Zii and Gron (Fade, Spirit, Bind). Its recovery time is 20 seconds with one, 30 with two and 40 with three words.

At full strength, you become invulnerable, but unable to attack. However you recover Magicka and Stamina.
