Category:Soul Gems

Soul Gems are a type of ingredient that is typically obtained by capturing a monster's soul using the Trap the Soul spell. Soul gems may also be created by items with the Trap the Soul enchantment or Trap the Soul Guard. Non-living constructs, such as iron defenders and golems, do not have any life force, and thus do not produce Soul Gems; however, undead do possess life force, despite also being non-living.

Regular soul gems are used to create bound shards, and strong soul gems are used to create unbound shards. For example, to create a bound Aberration Bane Shard you will need a Soul Gem: Aberration; an unbound Animal Bane Shard would require a Soul Gem: Strong Animal.*
 * * Prior to Update 32, regular soul gems of an appropriate type were required to make Bane shards, and strong soul gems to make Greater Bane shards.

There are now 42 useful Soul Gems, most of which are used in Cannith Crafting. The Stone of Change Adamantine Rituals use Soul Gem: Essence of Earth. Soul Gems can be stored in Small or Medium Soul Bags.
