creating magical weapons

sorry that i bother you again.

but when you create a weapon, with enchangin, you can chouse the points of damage, but it charge someting.

I tought it was magic or someting like that, but the less points i put on, the more it charges, so it need to be someting else?

thanks for the help :)

Every time you hit an enemy with a magic weapon, a charge is used. When all the charges are used, the weapon no longer has the magical effect, but you can recharge it with soul gems. So you have a choice, weak effect and lots of charges, or powerful effect and less charges.

You need a filled soul gem...the larger the better.

The larger the soul gem (with a soul inside it), the more damage the enchant will do, or the larger the magicka regeneration, etc.

So a black soul gem would be the highest - but I would save those for special weapons.

Also, let's say you use a great soul gem, and it takes one of those for the enchant, and gives you 30 charges before the enchant runs out.

When you "recharge" the weapon - put another soul gem in it - it would take one greater soul gem (one for one exchange). But if you didn't have a greater soul gem, you could use 2, 3, or 4 lower ranking soul gems to recharge the weapon to the same level of 30 charges.

Hope that makes sense and answers your question.

Good luck.
