I just got "Blessing of Talos", but I don't know what it really gives me. where can I find that information in the game? I would like to know what this blessing does as well as others that I might encounter.

What do blessings do in Skyrim, and where can I find them?

Look in your menu->magic->active. Hover over each item, and you will see in the description of the effect what gave you that, and it will say 'blessing of talos'.

  • It'd be great if you could write up a summary of each one here for people who are too lazy to get them all in the game Nov 18, 2011 at 22:19

    I can't help but suspect that the strength of the Blessing of Talos is a bug. I imagine it was intended to be 20%, the same as the Amulet of Talos, but somebody put the decimal point in the wrong place. ;-)

    0.2 pts IS the 20% Take any number, multiply it by 0.2--the result is 20% of the original number. So this is only a "bug" in the consistency of the game's descriptions and interface, not in the actual strength of the effect.

  • @kevin the shrines are mostly inside the temples within the towns. You can find 8 of the 9 divines inside the solitude temple, but other towns mostly contain one or two. Talos can be found in whiterun.

Equipping the Talos amulet and receiving the blessing will compound both into reducing shout time 40%. To prove this, choose a shout and look at its recharge time, and then either equip the amulet or receive the blessing by itself. You'll notice the recharge time has changed. Equip both and view it again to see it's been further reduced. Blessings of Talos upon you. Shout your foes into dust.
