How can I use the skill um, what's it?
um..wait..
um.. ah, Soul Steal or Soul take or Soul Lick??

Well I tried to use it once and dont know what hapenned..
I didnt even know if it worked...

Do you mean Soul Trap? I believe it's a spell, and you need to have an appropriate Soul Gem.

get a soul gem, any size, but if it is small, like petty or lesser, use soul trap on a weak creature, like a rat or dog, it won't fill the gem if you use it on a human, unless you have a black soul gem

you can then use these filled gems to recharge enchanted weapons and self enchant weapons and armor

if you want to know how to make a black soul gem just ask

Okie, so a soul gem is required to use Soul Trap..
hmm.. where can I buy or find soul gems?

you can still use soul trap, it just won't be usefull

you can get soul gems at most mage's guilds

Ok tnx
!!!

Ok, I will let you in on a lil trick
Join the mages guild and do all the missions till you get acces to
that Arcane University thingy. Since you're this persistant, doing
the application missions won't be a problem for ya
Anyways, when you get to the Arcane University, get a nice weapon, some full soul gems and enchant the weapon with soul trap. That way, it's much easier than casting the spell all the time

Umbra already has that enchantment.
