I'll just add what i've learned.
Ever since i enchanted a sword with the soul trap spell
(i know, i know, your tired of hearing about it
) i've learned quite abit about the process. since i have wacked about every possible type of character with it i've figured out the patterns
of how the process works. The only souls that cannot be captured in a soul gem are NPC's, or anyone you that could potentialy have a conversation with you. attempting to cast the spell on an NPC will give the "spell did not find a target" message. You wont get that message if you dont have a soul gem big enough to fit the soul, it will still cast successfully but you will not get the "You trapped a soul" message when they die. I am working on a list of all the creatures i have put into soulgems and there values. i've got some more to add, but you can find it here :

Btw Silverthornne, i hadnt even heard of the Azura's Star yet, i guess i'm still not that far along yet

I have found a bug for you exploiters out there.
how to get a constant effect item without using a golden Saint:
start the enchantment process with a Golden Saint Soul Gem. set up the effects you want, then click on the GS soul gem to remove it from the enchant window. then click on another "cheaper" soul gem and creat the item. It will still creat succesfully. I did this last night so i cant remember if there were any complications. but i'll try it agian tonight and post more info it its important.
