Currently small Giants scale to smashing a large amount of rock up, but it uses violent fragmentation for something that is obviously regular fragmentation. I also think the giant picture is smaller than the current calc says it is. The giants in lore are 4 times larger than humans but the giant in the calc looks to be 2 to at best 3 times larger than the regular guy in the photo.
(I have no clue how to post photos on this site, so just look up Elder Scrolls legends unstoppable rage to see the photo I’m referring too).
Since both the giant and human are leaning over it would be way too hard for me to get an accurate size of the giant and human so I’ll do a rough recalculation using the size from the original calc. Note the size of the crater should be smaller but everyone in the shot is leaning way too much to get an accurate scale.
The fragmentation of rock is 8 j/cm^3
The volume in the original calc is 122000000 cm^3
122000000 times 8 equals 976000000.
976000000 joules is 0.23 tons which is Small Building level+. Note the volume in this calc is actually larger than it should be, the actual results should be lower than this.
This would downgrade anyone who scales to small giants like Aela and novice mages. Novices mages would have 9-A, possibly 8-C attack potency due to being able to vaporize people and scaling above giants, but they are stated to be able to accidentally vaporize themselves so they would only have 8-C durability with wards. Aela would be 9-A for scaling directly to giants.
Apprentice Mages and above still have consistent 8-C feats and a fodder daedra has a high 8-C feat, so people that scale to daedra (like the strongest members of the companion’s circle), and powerful mages can still be high 8-C.
When it comes to large giants I don’t think they qualify for our giant kinetic energy chart. That chart assumes the giants move fast relative to their size, but the pictures of the large giants constantly show that they move very slowly. Even the small giants move very slowly relative to their size (a regular human can out walk their run in game). At best I want to say the large giants would be unknown. When it comes to the large giant’s lifting strength Antoniofer did a calc for me a very long time ago.
“Welp, according to the profile it can reach low clouds, cumulus clouds are localized to at least 200 m above the surface, so that's means that the giant is at least (200/1.72)^3 = 1572200 times heavier than the average men, over 110000 tons; by default we gave giants the capacity to lift the half of their own weight, so over 55000 tons.”
