Couple of newbie questions. I've gone back and read most of the old posts. I did my first enchanment (rephrase - bought my first), enchanted my cuirass with 10 health on cast using gem I stole from mage in Balmora Mage Guild, while she was away on the sabatoge quest (hope there's no negative repurcussions there). Any way, works good for a level 4 fighter character with 72 health. Only 1 charge per use.
Is there a way to know how much enchantment an item can hold? I understand Daedric and ebony hold more than iron or steel, item for item. But how do I know how much a particular item can hold without going into the editor? Is there an in-game way?
Now, spells. When a spell or item says on touch, what does that mean exactly? If an amulet does 1-10 frost damage on touch, how does that work? I equip it as a magic item, I click the left mouse button to cast/use but then what do I have to do to do damage? Do I attack unarmed? Do I click "on" the creature? Can I switch to my weapon and hit like that?
Second spell question: How close do I have to be to cast soul trap? I can use a scroll successfully if the creature is right in front of me but not if it's 5ft away. Do all spells/scrolls work like that, where I have to wait until an enemy is right there before I can cast?
