The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints

What am I supposed to do at the pedestal?

  • 1 of 7: Check the Power of the Elements book again to see what it says to do.
  • 2 of 7: It says to wield mage's craft, so fierce the sea will boil.
  • 3 of 7: That's a clue to cast a certain type of magic spell on the pedestal.
  • 4 of 7: That won't do any good until you activate it, which places the Power of the Elements book on it. Now try casting spells at it.
  • 5 of 7: You'll need to use a certain type of Destruction spell.
  • 6 of 7: The "sea will boil" clue would seem to indicate spells that generate a lot of heat.
  • 7 of 7: Use any fire-based spell, such as Flames, on the book to cause a non-harmful fiery explosion to happen.
