Grand Soul Gems - Why Are They Still "Grand"?

Since there are no more level specific soul gems around post One Tamriel, I'm curious as to why grand soul gems still go by the same name and aren't simply called "soul gems"?

    From my understanding, they said you can sell all the other soul gems because they no longer do anything, only the Grand Soul Gems still work.

    Because the power to revive someone is, somehow, ... "grand" ?

    Hmm... yeah, well I was thinking about it and I concluded that soul gems have never really followed the traditional elder scrolls methods anyways. Technically they should be black soul gems for capturing people, grand soul gems for capturing large creatures like mammoths, trolls or giants, and the lesser ones used for the little critters.

    So overall, I think it works out a little better this way since you don't have to carry all those extra soul gems around clogging up your inventory. To me, that's what makes them so grand.

    The distinction between "Black" and "White" souls doesn't exist yet; as such, "black soul gems" are not a thing yet.

    Because it's not an "issue", it's a question. And secondly, I am The Scipio, I post as I please.
