ENCHANTED WEAPONS You can find enchanted weapons in the world, or create them yourself at an Arcane Enchanter. Armor enchantments are permanent and do not need to be recharged. The soul gem you use determines the strength of the enchantment. Select the armor you want to enchant, then choose from the available enchantments, or vice-versa.

Some armor enchantments can only be applied to specific pieces or types of armor. Stronger enchantments consume more charges per hit, which mean you will have to recharge the weapon more frequently. A slider bar allows you to select the power level of the enchantment. Select the weapon you want to enchant, the soul gem you want to use, and then the enchantment. Any weapon enchantment can be applied to any weapon. If you have a soul gem of the appropriate size (or larger) in your inventory, the gem will absorb the creature's soul. To fill a soul gem, cast the Soul Trap spell on a creature and kill it before the spell wears off. Most soul gems start off empty, and must be filled with a creature's soul before they can be used. They come in a variety of sizes: Larger soul gems can hold the souls of more powerful creatures, which yield stronger enchantments. You can find soul gems throughout the world, and buy them from many merchants. Once you have learned an enchantment, you can use it to enchant any number of items. You can learn enchantments by disenchanting (destroying) enchanted weapons and armor at an Arcane Enchanter. Enchanting an item requires three things: an enchantment, a filled soul gem, and a weapon or piece of armor that does not already have an enchantment. Use Arcane Enchanters to enchant weapons and armor.
