Soul Magic is a skill line available to all players. The skill line and the Soul Trap ability (below) are unlocked from the start if you skip the tutorial. Otherwise, they will unlock when you complete Soul Shriven in Coldharbour at the start of the Main Quest. Soul Magic abilities center around acquiring and using souls from enemy creatures.

Notes

• The numbers displayed here are the base values for the skills. Magicka/Stamina Cost is based on a character of Level 50 160. Damage values are based on Max Magicka/Stamina 12000, Max Health 16000, and Weapon/Spell Damage 1000. The actual numbers you see in the game may depend on a variety of factors, including skill line rank, your equipped weapons and armor, other skills, enchantments, etc. As such, they should only be used as a comparative reference.

Notes

• Unlike most skill lines, soul magic's skill line level is only advanced by completing quests in the main storyline, not from ordinary experience. A new level is unlocked for each of the Chapters in the Main Quest, which are essentially every other quest. Before Update 12, these were only available at 10-level intervals for your character level, but now they can all be done in a row at any level. The skill line advances based on the following quests:

Skill Level	Quest	Skill(s)
1	Soul Shriven in Coldharbour	Soul Trap
2	Daughter of Giants	Soul Shatter I, Soul Summons I
3	Castle of the Worm	Soul Summons II, Soul Lock I
4	Halls of Torment	Soul Shatter II
5	Shadow of Sancre Tor	Soul Lock II
6	God of Schemes	Soul Strike

• Even though the skill line cannot be levelled up through ordinary experience, the skills themselves level in the same way as other active skills.

• The craftable set Oblivion's Foe has a bonus effect when the player deals damage with Soul Magic (you mark the target's soul dealing 1875 Magic Damage over 10 seconds, as long as they are not already marked from you. This effect scales off the higher of your Weapon and Spell Damage).
