Miraak is stealing all my dragon souls
After reading the book Waking Dreams and seeing Miraak, I couldn't absorb a dragon's soul. I killed more than 10 dragons and Miraak took all the souls. Is this supposed to happen?
Best Answer
The stealing really is supposed to happen because the devs assume you have completed the main plot at this point, and have stockpiled Dragon Souls, but I you can use these tips to avoid it:
- Using Ahzidal's boots of Waterwalking, kill a dragon on the water and SUCC the soul. Miraak cannot appear on water.
- Save before killing a dovah. Keep reloading and killing until Miraak does not steal the soul.
- If you haven't already, go to the ruins of Saering's Watch, on the northern end of the island. Again, save and reload killing the dragon and Draugr. Obtain the first word to Bend Will, "Earth"/"Gol", and unlocking it will make Miraak less annoying. Unlocking the second word, "Mind"/"Hah", will make him even less annoying, and unlocking the third word "Dragon"/"Dov", at the beginning of "At The Summit of Apocrypha", will stop his stealing completely.
He will harvest souls on the mainland, too, so I would try to use the same tactics as listed above.

You can't get your dragon souls stolen on Skyrim I believe, only on Solstheim when you haven't killed him. There's no limit to how many souls you can hold. However, some dragons respawn, at which point you can't absorb their soul twice, an example being a dragon at a dragon nest.Miraak stealing all souls in Skyrim - Solution

Answer 2
Yes, it is supposed to happen. Miraak has taken all of my dragon souls but one, and it's ticking me off. All I know about how to get rid of this is to complete the questline about him.
Answer 3
What worked for me was using the electrocuting destruction magic, because I leveled it up enough to turn things into ash when they die. And then boom-batta-bang, I had the dragon soul and Miraak did not.
Hope this helps!
