A Grand Soul Gem is a miscellaneous item in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
PropertiesEdit
Soul gems are used for harvesting the souls of nonsentient creatures and then binding them into the gem. This bound soul can then be used for enchantingweapons and armor, or other purposes of the arcane.
The grand soul gem is the largest soul gem, and can carry any size of white soul. When filled with the best applicable soul, their capacity utilized in enchanting is 1600.
LocationsEdit
Soul gems are purchasable from most alchemical and magical merchants. They can also be looted from mages and necromancers.
Static locationsEdit
Grand soul gems can always be found in the following places:
- ChorrolMages Guild Hall – Two are located in a display case on the main floor (Very Hard lock). There are also three more in another display case. When the Hero first enters, they are through a door to the left. (Some are not empty in the PS3 GOTY version)
- Arcane University – One can be found in a display case (Very Hard lock) next to a couple of other Grand Soul Gems (which are not empty). The Hero may also find three more in the Arch Mage Lobby. Another can be found in a display case (Very Hard Lock) in the Arcane University Mage's Quarters. Another one may be found on a desk on the second floor of the enchanting building. (Not empty in the PS3 version)
- Drakelowe – Located in the basement (accessed through trapdoor in the fireplace). (Not empty in the PS3 version)
- Crayfish Cave – Down the Corbolo river to the south-southeast. Three are located in various areas inside the cave.
- Nornal ruin – Directly west of Drakelowe. On the map it is just left of the capital 'N' where it says 'The Nibenay Basin.'
- Squandered Mine – Northeast of Drakelowe. Located behind a secret door on the bottom level, guarded by an undead creature.
- Swampy Cave – Swampy Cave Dry Rock Run specifically, just head south a bit from SC to find this entrance. The gem is located in one of the chests in the large room where there are two swamp trolls. (Not empty in the PS3 and 360 versions) (Not present in the PC version)
Common locationsEdit
These are easily located sources, but may not always have a grand soul gem available:
- Buy from Aurelinwae or Calindil in the Mystic Emporium, Imperial CityMarket District.
- Most Mages Guild Halls will have at least one grand soul gem for sale.
- These may also be pickpocketed from the merchant.
- 4 gems can be obtained via the quest 'Sins of the Father,' but they are not empty.

A Soul Gem is an item in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. It is a magic stone capable of storing the 'soul' of a creature. The gems are used to rechargemagical weapons, or to create new enchantments.
LocationsEdit
Soul Gems are available for purchase from most alchemical and magical merchants. They can also be looted from mages and necromancers.
ValueEdit
Empty Soul gems, whether looted or bought, have a value based on the grade of the gem, which does not change if filled later. Merchant gems sold or found filled with a soul have a value based on the level of the soul, regardless of the grade of gem.
ChargingEdit
There are a few ways to charge Soul Gems:
- Soul Trap spell
- Use a weapon with a Soul Trap enchantment, such as Umbra.
TypesEdit
Soul gems come in various sizes. The bigger the gem, the greater the 'soul' that can be stored in it. The charge level is used for both enchanting and recharging:
Size | Charges |
---|---|
Petty Soul Gem | 150 |
Lesser Soul Gem | 300 |
Common Soul Gem | 800 |
Greater Soul Gem | 1200 |
Grand Soul Gem | 1600 |
Black Soul Gem | 1600 |
Azura's Star | 1600 |
Recharging costsEdit
The base prices for filled soul gems, other than Azura's Star and black soul gems, range from 40 for a filled petty soul gem to 500 for a filled grand gem, and these prices can be reduced using Mercantile. Conversely, recharging a weapon from a character is at a fixed 1 per charge point that cannot be haggled down. Since the prices for filled gems are generally an order of magnitude less than the charge they provide, it is always cheaper to buy soul gems than to pay for recharging.
Azura's StarEdit
Azura's Star is a reusable Soul Gem, obtained by completing Azura's quest at the Shrine of Azura.
Black Soul GemEdit
Black Soul Gems hold humanoid souls (Imperial, Argonian, Khajiit, etc., as well as Daedric Kyn). All others, including Azura's Star, hold only the souls of creatures.
All humanoid souls have a 'grand' value, making the value of a humanoid soul equal to that of a Gloom Wraith. Since the power level of an enchantment from Grand and Black Soul Gems are identical, this equality of soul value makes the creation of Black Soul Gems a basically unnecessary process once you start encountering more creatures possessing a Grand soul.
CreationEdit
Black Soul Gems are created by placing a Grand Soul Gem in one of four necromancer altars in Cyrodiil, then casting Soul Trap on the altar at the appropriate time. They can also occasionally be found on necromancers.
Colossal Black Soul GemEdit
The Colossal Black Soul Gem is a special black soul gem with a larger capacity created by Falcar that was meant to hold the soul of Hannibal Traven.
Unique soul gemsEdit
On the first floor of the Leyawiin Mages Guild resides a display case, containing uniquely sized and colored soul gems. The cabinet requires a key to open, but the key is nowhere to be found. Console commands can be used to unlock the case, but the gems cannot be added to the inventory or moved.

Trapping a SoulEdit
To use Soul Trap without having to cast the actual spell, it is possible to enchant a weapon with the Soul Trap spell for a one-second duration. This second is sufficient in case the enchanted weapon is used to give the killing blow. If the weapon has a damaging enchantment of more than 1 second, the soul trap effect has to last longer. For example, a sword dealing five seconds of fire damage would need a soul trap effect of at least 6 seconds. An alternative method that can be used by spellcasters would be to create a spell that deals damage and to supplement this spell with a soul trap spell. Again, the soul trap duration would need to exceed that of the other spell by at least one second. Lastly, it is also possible to soul trap creatures that the player has conjured. Actively killing the creature is required however; simply letting the spell expire is not sufficient to trap the soul.
Another easy way to fill soul gems is to get a Black Soul Gem and duplicate it with a duplicate items glitch. If you have the Staff of Worms (dropped by Mannimarco during the 'Confront the King' quest), go to one of the Bandit or Marauder camps around Cyrodiil. Kill all of the Bandits/Marauders except for one. Soul Trap this one, and kill it. Then, use the Staff of Worms to reanimate a dead bandit. Wait a few seconds, then Soul Trap it and kill it. It will count as a humanoid soul. Continue this process for as long as you like.
Locations in the Wizard's Tower plug-inEdit
An easy place to pick up soul gems are the vault guards in Frostcrag Spire if the Wizard's Tower plug-in is installed. All guards have a soul value of Greater and respawn in three in-game days.
BugsEdit
This section contains bugs related to Soul Gem (Oblivion). Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
|
- There is a known bug in which all soul gems in a stack will be filled with the soul if a follower absorbs the soul of a creature through a weapon with the soul trap enchantment and has the appropriate soul gem in his or her inventory. Another likely bug can be used to clear higher grade soul gems that were accidentally filled with lower souls. Dropping soul gems that contain lesser or petty souls on the ground then picking them up will clear the soul but will not destroy the gem, thus making them available to be refilled.

Discussions about Soul Gem (Oblivion)
changing of capacity for soul gems
- Hi, Does anybody how to change the size of capacity for soul gems? How to do it?
- You don't Soul Gems have a set max capacity if you want a big charge ..
In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, soul gems are used to trap souls, which can then be used to enchant or recharge magical equipment.
In order to fill a soul gem, you need to use a form of the Soul Trap spell. You can either cast the spell yourself, or enchant a weapon with the Soul Trap enchant. Personally, I think having a weapon (or several for that matter. long and short range for example) with the Soul Trap enchant is the best way to go, that way you don’t have to keep switching to the Soul Trap spell when you need it.
If you’re going to use the Soul Trap spell method, then you just need to purchase the spell book from a magic vendor. It’s in the Conjuration line of spells. Once Soul Trap is placed onto an enemy, it lasts for 60 seconds. You can not have more than one active Soul Trap at a time.
If you would rather use the Soul Trap weapon enchant, then first you must find a weapon with the Soul Trap enchant on it in order to disenchant. Obviously you can use the weapon you find or purchase, but enchanting your own will typically yield better results. If you’re having problems finding a weapon with the Soul Trap enchant on it, check out my guide to reset a merchant’s inventory.
Once you have found a weapon with Soul Trap, disenchant it at the Arcane Enchanter. Pick a weapon you want to enchant with Soul Trap, and take the duration down to 1 second. This will give you a lot more charges than normal, and you just need to get the killing blow with that weapon in order to fill your soul gems.
Whichever method you use, when you are successful in killing a creature using Soul Trap, it will show a message at the top saying if it was successful or not. Typical failures will come from not having a soul gem large enough. For example, you can’t hold a Grand soul in a Greater soul gem, so if you have no Grand soul gems and try to capture a Grand soul, it will tell you that you didn’t have a soul gem large enough for that soul.
One important thing to note when capturing souls is that the game will default to lower gems for lower level souls, however if you don’t have any lower level soul gems, it will default to the next soul gem you have available, therefore your Grand soul gem could end up with a Petty soul captured if you’re not careful and don’t carry around enough different types of soul gems.
** Tip:聽If you drop a filled soul gem onto the ground, the soul inside will be released. This will help you empty soul gems that are carrying the wrong sized soul so you can fill them properly without them going to waste.
Use this chart for catching souls in the right soul gems:
Petty Soul Gem – Holds creatures below level 4
Lesser Soul Gem – Holds creatures below level 16
Common Soul Gem – Holds creatures below level 28
Greater Soul Gem – Holds creatures below level 38
Grand Soul Gem – Holds any white soul, but must be 39 or above to be Grand
Black Soul Gem – Holds any black soul, or white souls level 39 and above to be Grand
Lesser Soul Gem – Holds creatures below level 16
Common Soul Gem – Holds creatures below level 28
Greater Soul Gem – Holds creatures below level 38
Grand Soul Gem – Holds any white soul, but must be 39 or above to be Grand
Black Soul Gem – Holds any black soul, or white souls level 39 and above to be Grand
Note that most humanoid souls can’t go into regular soul gems, as these are considered Black souls. For example, Draugr and Falmer are considered White souls, but bandits and any of the playable humanoid races are considered Black souls, and you must capture them with either a Black soul gem, or The Black Star.
