I just killed a Hunger and trapped its soul, but to my surprise i was rewarded with two souls. I cast arrow of magic pinning to start the fight (the same way i normally would for a daedra) and then killed it with the 'souldrinker' blade. (Thus creating two soul trap effects from two different sources on the same creature.) Is this a known exploit or a one off bug?

have you patch your game? in unpatch game I can keep on soul trapping a dead golden saint.

You mean two souls in one gem ? That's cool, will it have double value when you use it to enchant items ? If that's so, that's one bug i wouldn't mind bumping into. :D

Hmmm... maybe it was the same soul in two different gems, johnny... wouldn't mind stumbling into this bug as well. :D

I tried casting soultrap on a golden saint twice, first a scroll and then the spell and guess what, 2 soul gems with 1 soul each. :D
I guess it only works if the spell comes from 2 different sources, but I haven't tried.

And my game is patched.

good thing... I was looking for some golden saint souls... I guess I found them.
Thanks Hammerhead! :D

My game is patched and i've tried this several times on numerous baddies. As long as the spell comes from different sources, and you have gems to accomodate them, you can trap the same soul multiple times.

This is one exploit i won't be taking advantage of. :(

Same soul, two gems. No bonus (or penalty) to enchanting or soul value.

Bah, when I need a good soul I just go ascended sleeper hunting near the volcano.
It's a dangerous task, but the rewards are worth it.

cool, thats good to know.
