How to Use the Soul Trap Spell

Soul Trap is a Mysticism spell in Oblivion Remastered, and you need to have at least the Apprentice rank of this school. By using Soul Trap on a dying target, you can transfer their soul into Soul Gems to charge them. But this requires some skill. After using the Soul Trap spell, you will have about 20 seconds to kill the target and get their soul. If you fail to do so before the timer expires, your Soul Gems will remain empty.

We strongly do not recommend you cast Soul Trap at the beginning of the battle unless the enemies are much weaker than you. Otherwise, it is better to do it when your enemy is close to dying. In this case, you are guaranteed to transfer the soul to Gems. Depending on your Mysticism rank, the effect and duration of the cast will differ.

Mysticism Rank	Spell	Effect
Apprentice	Soul Trap	You transfer the soul of a dying creature to Soul Gems. Lasts 20 seconds.
Journeyman	Greater Soul Trap	You transfer the soul of a dying creature to Soul Gems. Lasts 30 seconds.
Expert	Superior Soul Trap	You transfer the souls of dying creatures within a 10-foot radius to Soul Gems. Lasts 40 seconds.
Master	Legendary Soul Trap	You transfer the souls of dying creatures within a 20-foot radius to Soul Gems. Lasts 1 minute
