Skyrim:Powers

< Skyrim: Magic(Redirected from Skyrim:Telekinesis Arrows)

This page lists all of the Powers in Skyrim and the Dragonborn expansion, both Greater and Lesser, as well as all of the abilities available to the player. Powers and abilities are special magical capabilities that are innate to your character. Some are granted by your race; others are received by activating Standing Stones, reading Black BooksDB, becoming a vampire or werewolf, equipping certain items or completing certain quests. Greater Powers have no Magicka cost, but can only be used once per day. Lesser Powers may or may not use Magicka, but they can be used as often as you like. Abilities are magical effects that are permanently active.

Dragon Shouts are listed on a separate page.

Greater PowersEdit

Your available Greater and Lesser Powers are listed in the magic menu under "Powers". To use a power you must first equip it, which it assigns it to the Dragon Shout/Power button. Each Greater Power can only be used once per game day.

AbilitiesEdit

Abilities are constant-effect characteristics, which are listed in the magic menu under "Active Effects" (along with enchantments, diseases, and other active effects). The abilities are listed in the Active Effects menu according to the name of the underlying magical effect. This means that abilities are listed under their name only in cases where the ability has a unique effect that shares the same name as the ability. Cases where the ability is known to be listed under a different name (e.g. Agent of Mara is listed under "Resist Magic") are mentioned in the following table.

BugsEdit

  • Ancient Knowledge gives a 25% armor bonus while wearing any type of armor except Dwarven (any armor at all prior to patch 1.9).
    • This bug was supposed to be fixed by Official Patch 1.9.26.0.8, but Bethesda erroneously required that the armor not be Dwarven.
  • Ancient Knowledge increases effective Smithing skill by 15% when tempering weapons and armor instead of giving a Smithing leveling bonus of 15%.
  • The Seeker of Shadows reward from The Sallow Regent only gives a 9% bonus to prices instead of the advertised 10%.
  • In rare instances, the Scholar's Insight reward will only give you one point from the skill book. This is the same bug as noted on the Skill Books page, but it's twice as likely to occur with Scholar's Insight, since you're leveling up twice.
    • Hold off on reading the book until you've advanced a level in that skill.
  • The Secret of Arcana power lasts indefinitely as long as a single concentration spell (without the relevant Dual Casting perks) or any combination of concentration spells is dual-cast.
    • This can be used to cast the Master level Destruction spell Lightning Storm indefinitely with no magicka cost.
  • Sailor's Repose has an incorrect taper duration and an incorrect magnitude set.
  • Even though it's active, Prowler's Profit does not appear in the active effects list.
  • Certain shouts may continue to damage followers even with the Companion's Insight ability.
  • Wearing more than four relics of Ahzidal won't grant the Ahzidal's Genius bonus.
    • Wearing exactly four of the relics will re-activate the effect.
  • Vampire followers are not protected by Companion's Insight. This applies to Serana as well as any spouse follower you have turned into a vampire through The Gift.
  • While Breath of Nchuak damage can be increased with Fortify Destruction potions, the damage listed under the power will still read 15 per second. ?
  • Dragons disintegrated by Dragonborn Force may not yield dragon souls or any loot. ?
  • The Imperial Luck racial passive erraneously gets applied to all players after Unbound is completed. It will not show up under Active Effects, though (unless you're Imperial). Imperials don't have the bonus applied twice for them - they instead have the bonus immediately instead of after Unbound.
