Oblivion:Powers

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

This page lists all of the Oblivion's Powers. Powers are granted either by your race or birthsign, or they may be received by activating Doomstones, or completing certain quests. They are used just like spells. 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. Using Powers gives no experience in the school they represent. Powers are not affected by the armor you are wearing, and cannot be Silenced. There are 43 Greater and 5 Lesser Powers in Oblivion, and a few more added by some of the official plugins. More about Powers can be found here.

• Note: Unless otherwise noted, all Power effects are on Self.
