Specific spawn points Many of the gems listed here may spawn as other Soul Gem types-usually Grand or Greater it depends on character level. Black soul gems in Skyrim are much more common than they were in Oblivion. The Lightning Attractor cannot be activated a second time. With Dawnguard, they can also now be made from grand and greater soul gems by activating the Lightning Attractor in the Soul Cairn. Black soul gems can also be obtained by mining geode veins, found only in Blackreach. They are also available for purchase from Enthir, a mage of the College of Winterhold, as well as from Falion in Morthal. Additionally, magic anomalies drop black soul gems filled with grand souls. The Dragonborn must bring a filled black soul gem to Falion in Morthal if they wish to cure themselves of vampirism.īlack soul gems can be found randomly in chests, on tables in caves, and also appear as random loot on necromancers, giants, hagravens, Forsworn Briarhearts, and very rarely, draugr. Soul Trapping humanoids is considered a crime in many of Skyrim's Holds. They are generally regarded as unethical, and their use is prohibited at the College of Winterhold, despite the institution's lenient stance on the practice of Necromancy. The souls of humanoids trapped in these soul gems remain conscious. Black soul gems can also be used to create items at the Atronach Forge. The perk " Soul Stealer" allows bound weapons to soul trap targets, and an enchantment serving the same function can be added to ordinary weapons.
There are many methods by which souls are trapped in black soul gems, the most conventional being the Soul Trap Conjuration spell. However, unlike standard soul gems, they can encapsulate the souls of humanoids. Souls snared in black soul gems can be of any type. This artifact is known as The Black Star, which can be obtained during the quest of the same name.Īfter a black soul gem is used for enchanting, the soul that was inside it goes to the Soul Cairn. Nelacar can transform the star of Daedric Prince Azura into a black soul gem with unlimited uses. Black soul gems can also absorb souls that are smaller than grand. These sources tend to be plentiful and easier to kill, compared with common grand level white soul sources, such as mammoths. The main benefit of a black soul gem is that it can capture grand leveled souls from humanoids, whereas those souls cannot normally be captured. Black souls are those of sentient, humanoid beings, such as Men, Mer, Argonians, Khajiit, and Dremora, whereas white souls are those of animals and certain lesser Daedra.
