I got this to work once with a summon scamp spell a common soul gem. The scamp was a lesser soul. Now I have 4 lesser soulgems with 'none' as the soul. I try scamp again and it says 'there is no soulgem of the size to fit this soul'.....

I also have petty gems and a summon skeleton spell. Same message.

I am running LAME mod to magic and also OOO which does a lot of things. Do you know what the problem with soultrapping could be?

Don't know if you can trap a summoned creature. Maybe that's it

It worked once. With the scamp.

I don't know anything about OOO and LAME, but you in vanilla, capturing the soul of your own summon works perfectly. Is it possible that your mods bump up the size of your summon's souls as you level? Try using Azura's Star. You do have that mandatory piece of equipment, right?

Good suggestion on azura star. I know what it is from morrowind but no I haven't found it yet, and with OOO it probably is highly guarded. Don't spoil the location I can just use the console to give myself it (or a grand soul gem) and then test if the scamp/skeletons souls are leveling.

That it′s slightly satanic? :flamed:

Yep the souls were common souls..

i love soul trapping humans.

Soul trapping. You can trap ghosts and spirits with common soul gems but you have to use special black stones for regular NPCs. Doesn't make sense to me.
Specially zombies considering they probrably don't have souls.

Ah, so it was a OOO or LAME thing. Glad you got it sorted out.

I have Azura's Star and still can't trap human's. What gives?

you need black soul gems.

Yep, Azura′s Star is an ordinary Grand Soul Gem with unlimited useage. It′s not a black soul gem
