Powers (Skyrim)

Powers in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim are defined by their unique nature. They are essentially magic spells but are unique in the fact that they have zero magicka cost and can only be used once a day.

Like magic spells, only one power can be equipped and cast at a time.

Each race is granted a unique Greater Power, however additional powers may be acquired over the course of the game, including Vampire and Werewolf powers, Guardian Stones as well as those granted through membership of various factions.

Powers are considered seperate from Abilities as they are not passive in nature.

Greater racial powers
These powers can be used only once per day.

Lesser racial powers
These powers can be used multiple times per day.

Faction powers

Guardian Stone powers
Only one of the following Guardian Stone powers can be active at any one time.
