📋 About This Mod
When you investigate the haunted Shroud Hearth Barrow in Ivarstead, you can find a potion called Philter of the Phantom. This potion originally didn't do anything except make you look like a ghost, but with this mod you can now use it to scare civilians! You can even play a prank on Wilhelm before showing him Wyndelius' journal.
The effect doesn't scare current or former followers, the undead, people who are too brave, or people who are trained in Illusion.
A small quest mod for Skyrim that lets you use the Philter of the Phantom from Shroud Hearth Barrow to spook civilians and prank Wilhelm. Adds a lighthearted, immersive interaction. Popular with 513 endorsements and 139k downloads, last updated in 2020.
