Speaking of black soul gems..
Enchanting requires a soul, right?
If so, would the weapons/armor which has been enchanted, be alive somehow?
Imagine running around with a sword, which talks to you.

By endgame my gear is exclusively enchanted with the souls of children.

IIRC, The Dawnguard DLC specifies that the thinky bits of the soul go to the Soul Cairn and it's the life force or something that's used for the actual enchanting.

I feel sorry for you.

Pretty much. You get to meet all kinds of people and a few animals that got soultrapped.

And then you murder ghost-zombies, which is slightly horrifying when you think about it.

But then you get a zombie dragon and you totally ignore that because ZOMBIE DRAGON.

This is only true for souls that are offered to the Ideal Masters. All other souls go to their aligned AE like any other killed creature.

That saint guy who murdered all of the killy thingies in Morrowind was murdered by a daedra, though. Do daedra do deals with necromancers?

[Putnam]

Jiub? Yeah, they can. Depends on which Daedra. Likely dremora, in this case, and it's certainly not inconceivable for them to be doing dealings with the Ideal Masters. Lesser Daedra work for greater Daedra all the time.

EDIT: Should really clarify what I meant by "aligned AE". Mortal death brings your soul to whatever Aedroth or Daedroth that you were most like. Of course, this does have some oddities, like the extremely close relationships between certain AE, such as Arkay/Dibella/Mara/Mephala.<sup>1

1</sup>A prostitute is close to Mephala, but take the pay out of the equation and you're closer to Dibella; marry and you're suddenly in Mara's hands; have many children without the love and you may end up with Arkay. There's also the Kynareth/Meridia debacle...

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Just bringing this up, D&D has had intelligent weapons for decades. Frequently they're smarter than the Fighter using them!

Also I doubt a child's soul would do much enchanting work. Gotta get better souls than that!

But vealsouls

[Putnam]

A child's soul is just as black and just as powerful as an adult's soul. Certain souls are much larger, of course, such as Vivec's and Almalexia's, but those are special cases.

[WillowLuman]

In Skyrim, except for NPC souls, the soul just seems to be proportional to the toughness of the critter. Which is why Mammoths get grand souls but giants only get Common souls.

[Putnam]

...Your examples contradict your statement

Necromancy has its root in ancestry worship and mysticism...so I don't see why deadra wouldn't deal with them...they are still mortals
