4:40 Arch-Curate Vrythur destroys the Chantry of Auriel in a huge explosion. I've been meaning to do this for ages, but couldn't find a good way to scale. Thankfully, my friend supplied good scans to scale with, so let's get to it! There seem to be 12 pillars there for reference. A quick search reveals that the average height of a man is 175cm (1.75m). 63 pixels = 1.75m 1 pixel = 1.75m/63 = 0.0277777778m 0.0277777778m X 135 = 3.75m 0.0277777778m X 116 = 3.22222222m 0.0277777778m X 24 = 0.666666667m 0.0277777778m X 72 = 2m 126 pixels = 3.75m 1 pixel = 3.75m/126 = 0.0297619048m 0.0297619048m X 378 = 11.25m 0.0297619048m X 41 = 1.2202381m 0.0297619048m X 211 = 6.27976191m 0.0297619048m X 197 = 5.86309525m 29 pixels = 3.22222222m 1 pixel = 3.22222222m/29 = 0.111111111m 0.111111111m X 5 = 0.555555555m 0.111111111m X 9 = 0.999999999m 0.111111111m X 153 = 17m 0.111111111m X 21 = 2.33333333m 0.111111111m X 254 = 28.2222222m Volume of the main room as a rectangular prism, of the roof...

Upon defeating Alduin in Sovngarde, he creates a massive storm in his death throes. Note also in the background one of the statues in Sovngarde are destroyed. First up, let me point out Alduin's last words... Alduin (Skyrim) Which is very different from the words of storm call, Strun Bah Qo. Alduin doesn't even say any of those words. My point being this is not a specific shout but Alduin's power getting unleashed upon his death. The horizon from 1.7m (average height) up is 4.7km away, or 4700m. Storm clouds are cumulonimbus, which are on average 12000m tall. Volume of the area as a cylinder. V = πr^2h = π X 4700^2 X 12000 = 8.32773381e11m^3 Density of a cloud/air is 1.003kg/m^3.

Lore:Pocket Guide to the Empire, 1st Edition/Cyrodiil - The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages (UESP) The Greybeards speaking causes the world to shake. Todd Howard himself confirms this is literal. http://www.gameinformer.com/themes/...im-s-dragon-shouts&GroupKeys=&PostPageIndex=1 The Greybeards of the 4th Era do this too, once again shaking the world. And yes, this is literal, once again confirmed by Todd Howard. nerdtrek.com/skyrim-details/ What's more, it was felt in Winterhold by. http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Urag_gro-Shub So yeah, it's literal. Not shaking the perspective; it rumbles through the world and shakes the mountains, and indeed the entire world. Looking at the mercalli chart, it would rank at a IV or V. That would be about a 5 on the richter scale. There's two ways this can be done; non-seizemic and seizemic. For now we'll go non-seizemic. Circumference of the Earth is 40,075km, half of which is 20037.5km (though it takes 20011km at best, so we'll go with...

13:27 Fireball causes a considerable explosion. In-game, this spell has a 10 feet radius (take note this is gameplay-wise, lorewise is almost certainly higher). https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Destruction_Spells Using Nukemap again for a radius of 3m and we get a yield of 0.000278 kilotons (or 0.278 tons of TNT). Final Results Fireball = 0.278 tons of TNT

2:52 https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Destruction_Spells The Weak Fireball spell causes a small explosion, which in terms of gameplay is 5 feet in radius (as you can see above compared with a troll). 5 feet is 1.52400m. Enter this into Nukemap and we have a yield of 0.0000506 kilotons for a radius of 1.52m, or 0.0506 tons of TNT. Final Results Weak Fireball = 0.051 tons of TNT What's more, replaying Oblivion and if you case a Weak Fireball at a group of loose boulders you'll send them flying with great force, so it's likely even higher.

0:54 Firestorm is the most powerful spell you can learn in Skyrim, and it causes a massive explosion. Although this is gameplay (and thus the actual lore version could be far more impressive), as an ingame spell, it has a range of 100 feet (or 30.48m). https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Fire_Storm Using Nuke Map once again and playing around with it until we have an accurate radius, we end up with a fireball yield of 0.0908 kilotons (or 90.8 tons of TNT). The in-game lorebook Power of the Elements says that this spell has the power to make the sea boil. https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Power_of_the_Elements So fierce the sea will boil eh? Why not take this at face value (just because)? :cat I couldn't find the minimum size of a sea, but this is close enough... https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/sea/ The Sea of Marmara will be the example we use, given it's very small. The Sea of Marmara has a volume of 3378 km^3 (or 3.378e+12m^3). The weight of water per m^3 is...

25:13 Enemies Explode causes some considerable explosions. At its highest (at least according to gameplay, lore is likely much higher), Enemies Explode has a radius of 20 feet (or 6.09600m). https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Spells#Destruction Let's put this through Nuke Map and play around until we have an accurate radius, and with an accurate radius we get a fireball yield of 0.001634 kilotons (or 1.634 tons of TNT). Final Results Enemies Explode = 1.634 tons of TNT

1:06 Fireballs explode to do some considerable damage. I'll have to look up to see if there are any examples of how big fireballs can be in the lore, but gameplay-wise, they can reach 15 feet (or 4.57200m) in radius. https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Fireball Put this through Nuke Map and mess around some and we get a fireball yield of 0.000797 kilotons (or 0.797 tons of TNT). Final Results Fireball = 0.797 tons of TNT

Giants can famously launch people high into the air. This is supported by the in-game book All About Giants, where a wood elf notes this hapens to Nords who cross giants (And is his own eventual fate). https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:All_About_Giants IF this is not enough; word of god not only confirms that this was a bug they kept in because it was so funny, but giants can launch people into orbit! https://www.artstation.com/artwork/r8WYE To send someone into orbit would mean the giants have to hit them at escape velocity speeds, which on Earth (or an Earth-sized planet) is 11.2km/s (or 11200m/s). T = 11200m/1s = 11200/340.29 = Mach 32.9131035 The average weight of a person ranges from 60kg to 80kg depending on where they come from, which will serve as our low end and our high end.

The Elder Scrolls has a ton of insane feats that get overlooked for reasons I still can't fathom. 4:13 Each time you level up, you cause a star to increase in luminosity considerably. Not also the stars are at various points in space. The skill tree constellations are referenced in the Legends: Heroes of Skyrim trailer with a nebula-sized manifestation of Akatosh. 0:02 On top of this, Todd Howard also says that levelling up involves looking to the heavens. 4:23 Finally, the last Black Book grants Dovahkiin the power to alter the skill constellations, and visions of the skill constellations appear in the game (not in the menus), and you can alter them in exchange for a dragon soul. Which would mean that end of game Dovahkiin at least scales. 9:30 It's also of note to point out the constellations as seen in Apocrypha are also 3D (link here because I'm out of room to post videos, 0:50 seconds in). Even though the stars are rips to Aetherius, this calc is still valid. First...

41:50 Chevalier Renald performs a blatantly superhuman jump. The average height of a man is 5 feet 9 inches, or 1.7526m. 37 pixels = 1.7526m 1 pixel = 1.7526m/37 = 0.0473675676m Timeframe is 0.09 seconds. 0.0473675676m X 172 = 8.14722163m T = 8.14722163m/0.09s = 90.5246848m/s Final Results Chevalier Renald's jump = 90.525m/s Not as much as I thought it would be, but still blatantly superhuman and pretty impressive (this is 325.89km/h).

His full energy is enough to destroy Tamriel. Abnur Tharn and Nahfahlaar reduce this from a continent destroying explosion to an island level one. This is also the focus of the final cinematic for Season of the Dragon, and said explosion is even seen in Skyrim.

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Meteor The spell Meteor calls down a meteorite from the constellations. We have have seen the stars of the constellations to be floating at seemingly unfixed points. 0:00 Even if those are holes to Aetherius or something else, we still have a sense of size and scale, which is similar in scope to our universe. Let's get the timeframe... The timeframe is 1.58 seconds. The distance from Earth to the nearest star is 4.22 lightyears, or 3.99234299e16m. T = 3.99234299e16m/1.58s = 2.52679936e16/299792458 = 84284954.2 C Final Results Meteor = 84284954.2 C Also keep in mind that there are other attacks and spells that allow for the interaction with stars and the Sun in The Elder Scrolls, such as Auri-El's Bow, Nova and Spear Shards.
