Is there anyway to make an enchanted weapon that does not need soul gems to recharge it?

There's the Soul Siphon perk in the enchanting tree which basically re-charges your weapon as you keep fighting. It's not exactly what you want, but close. There is also Azura's Star. When you get the quest (same name), you may want to do it. Lastly, you can have soul trap on a weapon, which would automatically fill empty gems as you play, so there should rarely be a shortage of "batteries" (this ties in with Aura's Star).

Believe you will need soul gems to charge up only weapons, some rare castes on other items. Gotta remember you will need a grand soul gems and very powerful soul in it to make it constant effects.

Enough enchanting skill and you can make a weapon have a damaging effect, such as fire, and soul-trap on it. Azura's star and that weapon will make for an infinite combo.

I think (REALLY not sure about that one) that you can find some weapons which have some "automatic recharge" effect. If you disenchant that and put it on YOUR weapon, it should work. Just need confirmation on whether or not this enchantement works OUTSIDE of daedric artifacts

Get the Azura Black Star thing, it a reusable soul gem and its really helpful.

Thanks for all the help guys... I was annoyed constantly having to get soul gems, but now I know how to get around it

i have to ask but what are the exact functions of azura's star since in oblivion i always sacrificied it fot the MQ
