Become Ethereal Lets You Become A Cliff Diving Champion

250 hours into the game I just now discovered the shout Become Ethereal lets you survive a jump from any height. Dragons aren't the only ones who can fly in Skyrim...

Note: Not any height. I discovered this when jumping from High Hrothgar and the shout expired just metres from the ground, shortly followed by me doing the same...

I havent tried it but can you do that shout as your falling, like do it half way down?

I don't think you can perform a shout when falling, but it's worth a shot though.

I was able to successfully jump from Bard's Leap without using any spell or shout. The secret is to land in the water pool without hitting the stone balcony below the jump point. High Hrogthar? Never tried jumping from the balcony in the temple courtyard but it should be fun! :)

This is one of the shouts that was shown back in one of the first trailers or demos.

As a side note, you can cliff dive into any body of water that you can swim in.

The ethereal effect is great it looks really good in third person. I wonder if shouts will be a skyrim only thing or get carried over into the next Tes game since its basicaly a nord thing? Thats a topic for another day. Thumbs up for awesome shouts.

So the 'bard' after whom the landmark was named just happened to be a real dumb individual? :)

I hope that they make shouts into spells in the next game. I would have loved a spell to send a weak concussive blast of air at an enemy with my mage.
On Topic: I haven't gotten it yet but you can't shout in the air.
