The Dwemer were skilled magicians and engineers, so they used soul gems as fuel for their animatrons. Among other things, souls gems are abundant among merchants, but their range is quite limited, but the stock is replenished every game week. The main source for their production will be killed enemies, just do not be lazy to drip in their inventory. Soul gems are not uncommon in the game world and getting them will not be difficult. Initially, only one type of enchantment is available, others can be studied by disassembling enchanted objects on the Pentagram of Souls. To enchant an item, you need to find the 'Pentagram of Souls', a special table for enchantment, it is in every city, then choose an enchantment, an item for enchantment and a completely filled soul gem. To charge an item, just select it in the inventory and press the T key, the item will be filled based on the capacity of the soul gem. Soul gems will play a significant role if your character wears heavily enchanted armor and weapons, because without them you can forget about powerful features, so you should constantly monitor the presence of charged soul gems and constantly replenish their supply. If the armor is not bewitched, and you want to add enchantment to it, then soul gems are one of the main ingredients that are necessary for this. The soul that rests in the gem will fill the level of spells partially or completely, it all depends on the gem, what size soul it holds inside. When the magic effect is exhausted, it is necessary to replenish the level of magic in the ammunition, by means of a special object, and soul gems will serve as this means of reloading. In the world of Skyrim, there are charms that are superimposed on armor or weapons, but such charms are not durable and eventually cease to give their effect.
