Date of Question: Jun 21 2009 | Question ID: 143300 I have grand soul gems in my inventory but when I kill some stuff it says there is no soul gem in my bag large enough for this soul. Is this a bug or something or do I need to be at a certain magic skill to store larger souls

Check your inventory and make sure that your soul gems don't already have souls in them.
If you're trying to trap the soul of a humanoid, then you'll need a black soul gem (or the daedric artifact Azura's Star).

Are there Souls in the gems? That is what is most likely stopping you from taking the soul.

Grand soul gems can't hold all souls, but I think black soul gems can

Wrasmusson is right, but weevil isn't: azura's star isn't big enough to hold humanoid souls, only black soul gems are

No azura's star can hold Humanoid souls. Make sure you are casting soul trap and killing the NPC within the time limit of the spell.
