Monkey D. Luffy wroteMind re-explaining because I didn't get it :/
Okay, well, you basically got three types of weapons, Staffs, Normal Weapons, and Magical Weapons. Staffs are the long sticks that mostly mages use, this is because they get internally modified according to how good the caster is with a certain school. So if the caster was good in destruction, fire/shock/frost staffs will do more damage and last longer. Normal weapons are all kinds of weapons that don't have an enchant on them, bows, daggers, swords, maces...etc. Once normal weapons get enchanted, they become Magical weapons. However, just like staffs, magical weapons got a certain amount of times to be used before it gets drained out. The way to recharge them is by entering the "Weapons" menu, then select your weapon and press "T", after that you will need to select one of the filled soul gems to consume it in return for recharging the weapon magic effect.
The Black Star of Azura is a special gem that can be filled with human souls, and it doesn't get consumed up. There are two ways to trap souls of humans, either cast the spell Trap Soul (could be annoying if you weren't a magician since it requires 90 Magika), so won't be able to use it often. Another way is enchant a weapon (or get an already enchanted weapon) with an effect of trapping souls. They usually last a certain amount of time before they fade from target, during that time you need to kill the target to fill the soul. Once the star is filled, recharge your weapon before you kill another target. Keep doing so everytime you kill an enemy (except dragons as they resist soul trap, since you already suck their soul after killing them).
AxisFlame wroteWhat is the deal with horses? should i buy one?
Horses got four main uses:
1- They can climb mountains like no other, it is like riding a goat, or spider horse. Even they say that these horses gain in strength and stamina in what they lack, speed.
2- They fight with you, and usually tank (if not in dungeon).
3- Once you mount them, you can fast travel, even if encumbered.
4- You fast/travel around the world faster.
Buying one would cost you 1000 septims, but you got two ways to get a horse for free, either go to Riften Inn and talk to some guy leaning on the wall, you will start a very easy quest for Frost horse. Or Dark brotherhood, but it will be a while before you get Shadowmere.
