A thought of something to add (if this is already in I apologize)-a way to use the soul gem fragments you find to do the same with-maybe like 2 dust per?
Love this Mod, tried many but this one seems to be the most enjoyable, even against my own. But i do have to ask, is there a way to grind down soul gem fragments as well, may for 1 or 2 dusts.
Edit: Problem solved. Leaving problem posted below incase people want to follow my solution.
Download Acquisitve Soul Gems (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/5312/?) This will make captured souls become official "filled soul gems" as vanilla skyrim only modify's a property on your soul gems when capturing a soul, meaning THIS mod will never know the difference for breaking down.
If you want to use this with soultrapsummons.esp you have to use creation kit to modify Acquisitve Soul Trap to remove tags for "IsCommanded = true" from soultrap spells and soultrap effects. Then destryo soultrapsummons.esp.
If all 3 modders give me permission I can upload the triple mod in one compatibility esp.
This mod isn't working for me.
When I look to break down my filled gem lesser gem it only wants to give me 5. The other option listed is to get 8 dusts from a lesser gem but its grayed out. I have filled gems AND empty gems. Only dust from empty gems is available.
Edit: BTW I'm using Mighty Magick, Balanced_Magic, Perky, Druidessentials, &Path of Shadow (But when examining "details" of any of those soulgems aren't modified. Not sure if soultrap itself is though.)
Edit #2: Culprit is Mighty Magic. Loading this mod after Mighty magic doesn't resolve issue because Mighty magic full-on replaces soultrap and entire soultrapping script and mechanism so soulgems aren't filled, mightymagic soulgems are.
Ok, yeah. I just now took the few minutes it takes to test, and it is a combination of both. It can capture any souls, whether they be small souls or Grand souls (even Black souls from humans).
Is there a way to make soul gems with a power stronger than grand?
Its a real shame that you can't use dragon souls for enchanting anything. I know of a dragon souls to grand mod, but honestly, Dragon souls should be WAY stronger than grand IMO.
I might look into doing something with dragon souls and I agree that they are "worth" more than grand soul gems (filled), but I would have to find a way that uses them and balances it with the other gems and such form my mod. So yeah, nice idea, I like it!
The mod sould be compatible with any version of skyrim, I have tested the latest version (1.9.32.0. and it works for me. the crafting station sould be in farengar's place, I do not know of any bugs that would couse it to not show up. I'm sorry that I couldn't be of any help.
The one to one conversion for breaking down and making a soul gem is kind of broken. There needs to be some loss in the picture. I would double the requirements for all crafting and leave the current break down of materials. That way you cannot turn 1 filled petty gem into 4 empty ones. Its a little extreme that way.
The balance isn't quite right yet, it is true but right now the mod is balanced around the value of the soul gems. I could set the filled soul gems to give the same amount of dusts than an empty one or maybe just a few more dusts. I don't know just how I am going to make it.
I prefer it this way. It's like you're smelting new soul gems from the energies of the expended soul. It's a reward for sacrificing a soul gem with a soul already in it.
That's not to say a little tuning might be in order, maybe gaining 1.5x as much dust instead of 4x.
Maybe they come from one or more of the Daedric Princes? Or maybe they are pieces of an Oblivion plane that somehow ended up in Tamriel? I don't know I'm just speculating.
@noumak39 In Blackreach if you've noticed all the 'Geode Veins' laying about, when you mine those you actually get Soul Gems (And Corundum Ore).
So it's safe to say (In my opinion) that Soul Gems are literally just big crystals, with some being more pure than others, and some (In case of Black soul gems) being corrupt and dark.

Can anyone make a compatibility mod?
Track, endorse, vote, coment... if i had sister I would give you her too!
I actually have half a mind to test this by giving myself the necessary stuff via console, then reloading my game lol

but i always ask myself where are soul gems from?...
I have added a crafting station that is way more appropriate to the mod.
Or maybe they are pieces of an Oblivion plane that somehow ended up in Tamriel?

That theory makes sense to me.
