Hi everyone,

so... how do weapon enchantments work (+elemental damage) ? It appears that they have a limited number of charges, is that right? If so, how are those weapons recharged?

You recharge them with filled soul gems. Go into your items page, select the weapon, and you'll see a button at the bottom labelled "Recharge". Press that and it will let you select a soul gem to use (assuming you have one)

You use a spell called soultrap on a creature when you have a soulgem in your inventory. If you kill it in the time the spell is in effect, you trap its soul in the gem and then can use that gem to recharge an already enchanted item or create new enchanted stuff via an enchanting table. The higher the soul the more it will recharge or the better the enchantment you can make.

Creatures have different lvls of souls eg. A Mud Crab has a minor soul, a big hard boss creature will have a grand soul. You also get different levels of soul gems from petty to grand that can store corresponding level of soul. Eg. Petty souls gems can only hold petty souls but Grand soul gems can hold any level of soul up to a grand soul.

To enchant a new item first you have to dis enchant an old item (which is destroyed in the process), to learn the enchantment. Then you can take that enchantment and soul gem to an enchanting table and apply it to something new. How strong the soul and soul gem is will determine how strong the enchantment will be.

Phew! I think that is the basics of it anyway. Sorry if it's a lil confusing.

I was kind of wondering how the whole "get down" worked. How do you learn enchantments? How do you enchant a weapon with that specific enchantment? Is there a store with multiple gems in it? Etc...

Find an enchanting table. Click on it. Choose Disenchant. Pick an enchanted item with the enchant you want to learn. Disenchant it. This will destroy that object but you will learn that enchant.

To enchant you need three things: an item to enchant, a learned enchant, and a filled soul gem. You can buy filled gems from vendors but they are expensive. You can buy empty ones and fill them yourself via the Soul Trap spell (or an item enchanted with Soul Trap).

You learn enchants by disenchanted old enchanted items by taking them to a an enchanting NPC. Once its disenchanted, you learn that enchantment and can apply its effects to any item from there on in at an enchanting table and with a filled soul gem.
And yes there or many stores that sell soul gems. You can find quite a few in most places while exploring.

I also heard there was an NPC that could enchant things for you but I'm yet to see this myself.
