Varla Stones in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion are rare, glowing white stones used to recharge all enchanted weapons in your inventory simultaneously. When used, a Varla Stone fully restores the enchantment charges of every enchanted weapon you carry, but the stone itself is destroyed in the process
. They serve as a powerful alternative to Soul Gems, which only recharge one weapon at a time. Because of this, Varla Stones are especially valuable if you use multiple enchanted weapons and want to recharge them all at once
. However, Soul Gems are generally cheaper and easier to find, so Varla Stones are recommended for use mainly in mid to late game when you have many high- charge weapons to restore
. Varla Stones are also worth 1000 gold each if sold, but selling them is usually considered a waste since their utility in recharging weapons is more valuable than the gold they fetch
. Lore-wise, Varla Stones are crafted from meteoric glass and have a mystical origin tied to the ancient Ayleids. They were historically used to restore magical energy and are found primarily in Ayleid ruins
. In summary:
- Function: Recharge all enchanted weapons in your inventory at once.
- Usage: Double-click in inventory and select "Recharge All Weapons."
- Cost: Destroyed upon use; can be sold for 1000 gold but better kept.
- Rarity: Rare, mostly found in Ayleid ruins.
- Lore: Made from meteoric glass, used by ancient Ayleids.
This makes Varla Stones a precious resource for managing enchanted weapon charges efficiently in Oblivion
