Inside the College of Bruma, a new lecture is host to the public:

Lecturer: "Perhaps we've been studying about the usage of life after death, but where do they go? And what's inside Soul Gems?"

Public: "The Corpses? "The Air?" "Soul Gems?" "Divine?" "Where?" "Worms?" "Telvanni Mushroom?"

Lecturer: "The answer is dependant to belief, truly. But without dobut, Soul Gem is a revolutionary use of a quartz. They're materials enpowered to store energy, particularly souls. White Souls are mostly consisted of animals, creatures and undead, they're common to be used for enchanting weapons, batteries for Animunculi automations, as well as decoration in every single corner."

A young Altmer girl asked: "How about the Black Gems? Are they amethysts?"

Lecturer: "While White Soul Gems are naturally existed as generic white quartz, the first Black Soul Gem was probably created by the Father of Necromancy, Mannimarco."

Public: "Worm?" "Yeah, yeah, King of Worm, but what's exactly a Worm King?" "How does it work anyway?"

Lecturer: "Mannimarco was the entity who attempted to rule the world with the power of death, Black Soul Gem was his creation when he enpowered the gem with the Dark Arts, and therefore, men's souls can be preserved. Although we generally discourage any disrespect to the dead, without doubt, Mannimarco is the one who invented and developed the art of Necromancy into the current glory, without Mannimarco, perhaps we didn't have any clues about this art."

Public: "How do we use Souls?"

Lecturer: "Soul Trap, a spell from the same category, it traps a soul into a gem to preserve it. Souls can be used for enchantment, battery, undoing Vampirism and even summoning undead. Interaction with the dead can only be done by using Black Soul, which are sentient being, they can also be implanted onto automations to create a sentient machine or an undead."

Public: "Where do the souls go?"

Lecturer: "some said, the souls are preserved into a gem, thus achieving immortality, some said they're either eliminated or released upon being used, and some said, the gem is a portal to another realm, but since it's seemly a one way ticket, none can tell where the souls go."

Lecturer: "And that's all for my sharing, thank you for attending."

Public: "Thank you for your teaching."
