Skyrim Enchantments Question

[TheArchangles982]

Hello, I'm just starting to use enchantments in Skyrim. The situation is this, I have two Dragonbone Swords. I was planning on having one with Fiery Soul Trap and Absorb Health and then the other having Fire Damage and Chaos Damage. My question is, will that one Fiery Soul Trap "trap" a soul for both swords or just one? Should I enchant both swords with fiery soul trap? Also what happens if I have Chaos Damage and Fire Damage, do they stack? Also, do the Enchanting Skills Fire Enchanter, Frost Enchanter, and Storm Enchanter effect Chaos Damage?

It works like any other soul trap in that it simply fills and empty soul gem in your inventory..it doesn't fill the weapon directly.

You can perk to have that but it will only work on animals.

I don't bother with soul trap because I find so many filled gems it seems a waste. I usually use greater soul gems for recharging.

Yes chaos damage and fire damage enchants will stack. The enchants perks will also stack with chaos.

I like a 2 weapon setup also. If you're enchanting isn't maxed out yet, it's great to use one with soul trap. Then when it really gets rough, I switch to absorb heath/absorb stamina.

I like to sprint a lot too, so sometimes I'll add absorb stamina to the soul trap weapon. Once you don't need a ton of souls anymore, it's nice to not have to see the purple flashes and loud noise anymore, so I'll go with un enchanted or just absorb stamina so it drains slower.

Also if you are dual wielding, you might want 3 seconds. If you are only using 1 at a time, go with only 1 second so it drains slower
