Main article: Dragon Shouts

Storm Call is a Dragon Shout in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim that creates a heavy downpour, accompanied by a fierce thunderstorm directly above the Dragonborn that throws powerful bolts of lightning down upon anyone underneath, friend and foe alike.

This Shout will hit and most likely kill citizens, friendly characters and followers if used in a town, which will incur a massive bounty (if in a large city up to 20,000 septims). In addition, the Shout can only be used outside.

Shout leveling:

•  1 Word: 60 seconds of heavy downpour and thunder bolts, each dealing 40 damage that hits randomly every 3-6 seconds. Range: around 100 feet.
•  2 Words: 120 seconds of heavy downpour and thunder bolts, each dealing 60 damage that hit randomly every 3-6 seconds. Range: around 100 feet.
•  3 Words: 180 seconds of heavy downpour and thunder bolts, each dealing 80 damage that hit randomly every 3-6 seconds. Range: around 150 feet.

Trivia

• Friendly NPCs, such as hold guards, will sometimes turn hostile when in contact with the shout, even if the shout initially was not directed at them, due to the nature of the Shout attacking both hostile and friendly NPCs.
• Alduin uses a variation of this Shout at the beginning of the game to destroy Helgen, in the first battle against Alduin atop the Throat of the World, and again in Sovngarde. Instead of a Lightning storm however, he summons a Meteor shower.
  • Through use of the console command "psb" on the PC version, the Dragonborn can access this unavailable Shout, along with several other "Dragon" variations of other shouts.
• At a recharge time of ten minutes (when using all three words of the Shout), this Shout has by far the longest cooldown period.
• If the word wall at the Skuldafn ruins is skipped, it is impossible to get it again, since Skuldafn can only be visited once.
• This shout and the Throw Voice shout are the only shouts to have every word wall dungeon guarded by a dragon priest.
• Although Blackreach is underground, Storm Call still works inside it (unlike other places).
• Alduin's version of the Storm Call works inside any building.
• The Shout can be stopped by using Clear Skies.

Bugs

•  360   When Vokun is dead in the High Gate Ruins, the word wall may not work.
• If the Dragonborn uses the shout outside as normal, then then enter a location with no roof (such as Bloated Man's Grotto), there will be no rain inside even though the sky is visible.
• (Dawnguard) When using the Storm Call shout inside the boneyard, the rain may stop but the lighting may not cease even after the allotted time period for the storm has passed. The Clear Skies shout may fix this.
