The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints

Sigil Stone Effect List

  • The enchantment strengths listed are for the top-level (Transcendent) versions of the sigil stones that you can only get if you're level 17 or higher. Lower-level sigil stones will have correspondingly weaker enchantments.

    Effects with a * in front of them are notably stronger than you could put on an item at an enchanting altar with a grand soul. All non-starred effects are about the same or inferior -- except that with weapon effects, you'll get a bigger charge from a higher-level sigil stone than you would from a grand soul.
