so is there any use for the first word of this shout other than sanctifying the all maker stones

Only as a quick knockback i think.

first word for stones and animals
2nd for people
3rd for dragon taiming

I thought the first word was for stones and the second was people AND animals

may be right
im just guessing since the description is vague ingame
first words kinda useless if all it does is free the stones
useful in the story of course, but useless after it gameplay wise

hence the reason I asked. I always hopes you could use it to open up the shortcuts in the draugr dungeons but that doesn't work either

cheater cheater.

lol if you allegedly have the power to command stone then why not use it to try and open stone walls. plus it was one I had previously done but it had respawned
