Grey Goon Spell Book #2: Skyrim Ice Spear
The Grey Goon Spell Book is a creative exploration of magical sounds. I redesign spells and magic from games, movies, and TV using only material that I record myself. No library samples or soft synth presets are used in these redesigns as I explore how to translate magical fantasy into audio reality. The 2nd spell I worked on for my Spell Book was also from The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim (Bethesda Game Studios). In this clip, the mage charges their ice magic and then shoots an ice spear that hits a bridge in the distance.
When I set out to make an “ice” spell, I figured that I should try to record some ice. However, I struggled to get a useful audio ice read from the cubes in my freezer. I thought I could pour boiling water on to a bowl of ice cubes to get some nice crackling, but my attempts didn’t come out sounding very icy or magical. I picked up some dry ice from a local grocery store, thinking maybe I’d be able to get what I needed from that source. But again, I found it difficult to get the crackling ice magic sound I was looking for – the kind of sound we associate with a frozen pond that’s about to collapse. I did get a bunch of other cool sounds from the dry ice that I’ll be using in later videos, but not much that read as “icy." Because dry ice is dangerous, I didn’t want to go smashing it up in my apartment or parking lot. I decided that maybe recording cold things wasn’t going to be the best audio solution for this Skyrim ice spell.
I recalled reading that pine cones were useful as a source for crackling ice sounds. As luck would have it, I found one in my apartment’s parking lot in LA (go figure). This did actually get me that cracking ice sound I was looking for by slowly squeezing the pinecone. I did use the dry ice as source for this spell as well, but more as a bubbling sound to add some motion and tonality below the ice charge. I added further magical tone to the ice charge by pitch-shifting recordings of aerosol spray and burgers sizzling on a grill.
I found that I got a nice “ice shard” read from swift cuts into hobby foam with a knife. I also got some weight and impact for the shoot / hit sounds from dropping a cup of flour, lighting a gas fireplace, and banging the flat side of a knife on soft foam. I rounded the sounds out with some synthesized textures from a Virus KB synth. I processed these source recordings with a variety of distortion, pitch shifting, filter, reverb, and tremolo effects to get it all to fit together.
The projectile “fly” loop sound was made from the same types of material as the shoot and hit sounds, but manipulated in a slower scraping style motion. These were treated in reaper with doppler, accelerating tremolo, and some filter sweep effects to create a sense of motion as the projectile flies away.
I think this ice spell turned out fairly well. It was both amusing and satisfying to find the “ice crackle” charge up solution from a pine one after having failed with both ice cubes and dry ice. I also think I could have gotten some nice ice sounds if I had tried shattering bigger blocks of ice (here’s an inspiring ice spell Foley video from Alex Barnhart over at Respawn for example). I don’t think I really have much of that twinkling glassy sound of little pieces of ice bouncing and clinking off of each other that would have probably been nice. But I do think I was able to create the audio illusion of ice magic by using a pine cone and hobby foam. Next up is earth/plant magic!
