Easy grand souls

For this you need a soul gem,level 18 or higher,grand champion of the arena,a soul trap spell or umbra.

When you become grand champ you start fighting monsters and at level 18 you start fighting minotaur lords. If you soul trap them they will give you grand souls and this is very useful for enchanting at the arcane university.

Descriptive spell

I need help :( i found a spell that i like but i dont know the name of it, its a touch spell that makes the unit have a red glow around them, is it damage or drain health?

well first go to the spell part of your menu thingy and (if you have it on the little circle thing then just hold it on the one you have it on if it is then don't read the rest of this)look on the touch part and find the spell with damage drain!

Shielding

Does anyone know if 25 Fire Shield and 25 Frost Shield gives a 50 armor?

Cannot cast spells

I cannot cast spells of any level. Any idea why? I am level 15 and have had no problem, just got vampire cure, maybe that has something to do with it. PS3 HELP!!!! — Unsigned comment by Pbeachy (talk • contribs) on 10 December 2008

Magika 85

moved from Help talk:Contents --GK^talk2me 01:01, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

When i am enchanting a weapon i can only have up to 85 Magika even when i use Grater soul gem and its full is there any way i can have more than 85 Magika on my enchanted weapon bcause it only lets me have like 40 magnitude and 1 second duration on fire damage and i wanted something like 80 magnitude — Unsigned comment by 86.14.23.239 (talk) on 10 January 2010

I'm afraid not, it's stupid how restricted the enchanting is on the game. You say you have used a greater soul gem, have you tried a grand soul gem? --Manic 20:45, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Mythic Dawn Bound Armor And Sword

Can someone give me the console command to add the above spell and items(items for a permenant copy)? I don't have the construction set to look them up myself :( — Unsigned comment by 12.74.164.100 (talk) on 17 January 2010

You don't need the CS. Here are the commands, and here are the spells' IDs.

I checked the pages and the Mythic Dawn Bound Armor And Sword spell is not on there. I also checked the Lesser Powers page, and it was not on there.— Unsigned comment by 12.74.162.185 (talk) on 18 January 2010

You can find the IDs of the spells for the helmet and armor here. If you want the spell ID to add it to your journal, it is 00097C1F for the armor and sword. --S'drassa ^•T2M 16:26, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

My Skills have been drained! Help!

And enemy drained my strength, and I can't get it back up! How do you undo their drain attacks! — Unsigned comment by 97.116.72.32 (talk) on 28 February 2010

Use a Restore Strength potion/spell/scroll or visit a chapel altar. --SerCenKing ^Talk 18:54, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Hitboxes appear when touch or on target spells are used

Basically, this happens whenever anything in the game casts an on touch or on target spell at something else and it hits:

Hitboxes are everywhere in a big fight

You'll have to click to enlarge, but is there any way to change this? I'm on the PC, and I've tried everything, even a complete full install. It gets annoying after a while, because it looks so unsightly. Also the hitboxes stay completely still; I'm guessing it's a debug thing. AcE x EPiiCzZ (talk) 15:16, 13 February 2014 (GMT)

Hm, I've never seen, let alone heard, of this happening to anyone. Do you have any mods installed apart from Shivering Isles, KotN, or the Unofficial Patch? If you do, try uninstalling those. That's the only thing that I can personally think of unless somebody else has another idea. •WoahBro^►talk 15:28, 13 February 2014 (GMT)

Thanks for your input, but I've tried this with mods, without mods, even with a fresh install, I ripped my disc into an iso image with my cd drive being slow, do you think that could be the cause? AcE x EPiiCzZ (talk) 15:41, 13 February 2014 (GMT)

I honestly have no idea myself, but somebody else floating around the site might know. •WoahBro^►talk 15:47, 13 February 2014 (GMT)

If someone still experiences this, try opening the console and typing "twf", then press Enter. It's a ToggleWireFrame command, which draws or hides wireframes around game objects. Perhaps this person had this command enabled for some reason. — Unsigned comment by 94.235.82.51 (talk) at 13:13 on 12 December 2022‎

(←) It sounds like this could also just be the infamous Abomb Bug. The link provided here includes information on addressing this troublesome behavior. The wireframe does make me think it could be something different though, where the above post's solution might work best. Forfeit (talk) 23:47, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
