Edokage Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) Pros:- Can hold an infinite amount of souls within (so no need to constantly stock up on soul gems).- Doesn't break after use.Cons:- It's about as heavy as a full set of heavy armor (it wouldn't be 'dwemer' if it didn't).- Cannot be used for enchanting items, only recharging.- Getting it (what, you didn't think they just had the thing laying about). Is it a god item? Hardly. Is it worth it? Probably not. Do you want it anyway? Heck yea. Edited December 17, 2011 by Edokage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TolarisOmega Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Add the ability to draw from/ charge soul gems, you have a deal.Then you could put the right soul in the right soul gem instead of having a petty soul in a grand gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntsman2310 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 So its a much heavier Azura's star then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mareboro Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 how about an item that would prevent a grand sould gem be filled with anything other than a grand soul ? i mean... a grand soul gem weighs what 0.5 ? full set of heavy armor weights (assuming dwarven) 34+13+13+18 = 78 and thats a lot of soul gems by weight... which can be used for enchanting as well as charging up weapons... so you suggest sacrificing 78 weight for something that... is worse than an actual soul gem ? fun ? no, woth it ? nope, maybe if it had less weight and had some other properties... as well as a really interesting quest to get it... hell yeah :P why not, more content is always good :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TolarisOmega Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 What about a device a bit larger than the Centurion dynamo, that can hold many souls? Make it about 5 pounds and hold 10-ish grand souls (black and white) or a larger number lesser souls 1 Grand= 3 Greater= 9 Common= 27 Lesser = 81 Petty or something similar. Items are recharged only using right amount of soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kedrick7 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I think a multi-soul trapping indestructible device is kinda wanting for a bit much, I mean, Azura's Star is a Daedric artifact and it can only hold one at a time...Now I won't say the Dwemer didn't have a lot of experience with soul gems and their uses, but perhaps rather than a device that holds multiple souls, what about a device that is able to draw off a soul from a gem without destroying it.. about the weight of a gyro (5 or so) and is only able to transfer about a Half of the souls full strength, but leaves the Soul Stone cleansed and ready for use... For sake of Function the soul would "Transfer" to the device just like charging an item, and then the Device would be used to recharge an enchanted item, but the device could only hold one soul at a time, like Azura's Star. perhaps also with the added drawback that it cannot contain a Grand soul.A device like that would be very useful for "cleaning out" souls that get in gems where you don't want them, but not so powerful that you have to ask Akatosh to let you borrow it. :) But that's just my 2 cents.

Edokage Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 When I said 'full set of heavy armor' I was thinking about 40 (must have thought of one of the 'lighter' heavy armors when I wrote that).Anyway, the weight is up for debate but it should still be somewhat heavy for a single item to make it balanced while still being powerful.
