The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
How does the Skull of Corruption work?
1 of 4: It's a magic staff that can cast a special spell on a target.
2 of 4: It'll only work on non-guard NPCs.
3 of 4: It creates a "corrupted clone" of the targeted NPC that will fight him for 30 seconds or until it gets killed.
4 of 4: Use it against hostile NPCs (bandits, marauders, etc.) to gain a temporary ally against them.
