Greater Racial Powers in Skyrim are Powers that can only be used once per day and will need 24 in-game hours to be ready to use again. The majority of Powers in Skyrim are found in this group. Greater Powers provide very powerful effects for the duration of the Power quickly changing the tides of battle to save a bad situation or simply using them to overpower enemies in an encounter. Greater Powers are mostly primarily based on the player's race choice at character creation so players can only have access to not many of them, with a few other rare additions from involving themselves with Vampirism and Lycanthropy that give players a new race.
