Reddit user TeleportingRoach recently posted a clip of their Skyrim adventure, showing the player in the Soul Cairn of the Dawnguard DLC. The video begins with TeleportingRoach observing their Skyrim character from the third-person perspective as they stand atop a large pile of Soul Gems and Soul Gem fragments which are found all over the open world of Skyrim. Standing in the center of the mound, the Skyrim player immediately begins charging up powerful magic using a Destruction spell that requires a hefty amount of Magicka on the mass of Soul Gems.

Using the Skyrim Blizzard spell, TeleportingRoach’s character unleashes the charged attack on the mound of Soul Gems after slamming their hand on the ground which causes some latency issues. Perhaps due to how many Soul Gems are being thrown through the air with TeleportingRoach’s Blizzard, the clip takes a moment to show the fruits of the player’s labor. After this pause, the Skyrim video shows the Soul Gems erupting from the ground before swirling in the air around TeleportingRoach like a whirlwind.
As TeleportingRoach’s Skyrim Destruction spell dies down, the flying Soul Gems are more noticeable after slowing down and falling back down to the ground. TeleportingRoach then goes around the circular area of the Soul Cairn to show all the individual Soul Gems and where they were thrown after being flung into the air from the big pile the video started with. TeleportingRoach has stated that they were surprised this Soul Gem Blizzard didn’t cause a PC crash when it paused after unleashing the spell, and another Skyrim fan suggested downloading a mod to enhance the particle effects of the Soul Gems if they wish to truly test their PC.
TeleportingRoach is known for creating Skyrim content, and they recently made a similar video showing them create a Blizzard of Elder Scrolls like the one they stirred up with Soul Gems. The Skyrim player has said that they’ll be taking a break from the game after this Soul Gem Blizzard, which suggests that it will be some time before their next Skyrim clip is posted. While there were clearly dozens of Soul Gems thrown in the sky in this clip, it’s currently unclear how many Soul Gems and fragments were used to conjure the whirlwind.
