Pacify is a great spell. I thought I would play a master thief Dovahkiin this life, but had a great deal of trouble making coin since most of Skyrim's inhabitants default to extremely unreasonable violence if you attempt to take the wad of napkins and a worthless ring from their pockets and get caught.
With pacify everyone simply forgets what they were stirred into a rage for a moment ago, and treat you like a doting parent to be ignored.
