overlord118 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I have about 15 empty petty soul gems, but can't trap even skeevers in them using the soul trap spell. The skeevers resist the spell. I cast the spell quickly after killing the skeevers. The game is the latest version w/ all the expansions and patches using LOOT and NMM. Any ideas? Thanks!

pcaviator Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 You have to cast your soul-trap spell at the creature before they're killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't trap a soul that has already escaped the body. Still, as the body "resists" the spell rather than not taking any effect, it's an easy way to level your Conjuration.

Zygen360 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Soul trap is used before killing the target, it puts a sort of debuff or effect or whatever you want to call on the target(assuming they don't resist, which I find most don't) and for a certain amount of time afterwards(I can't remember the exact duration, says on the spell I think.) if you kill the target in any manner you will fill a soul gem(assuming you have a large enough empty one. Good luck and hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
