Oblivion - Soul Trap scrolls

I'm a few days into Oblivion, playing a sneaky, non-spellcasting type, and I
want to get started on buying enchantments for items - so, as a first step,
I need to capture a soul (and then use it to make an item of Soul Trap, to
capture some more).

So far, I haven't come across any scrolls of Soul Trap, and the only weapon
I found that cast it was an axe, which really doesn't suit my idiom. So, if
someone could direct me to a merchant selling scrolls of Soul Trap - or,
alternatively, a light blade / bow / arrows of same - I'd be very grateful.

I'm still partway through the Mages' Guild recommendations, so I don't have
access to Arcane University yet.

Another alternative that may take a while is to close any old Oblivion
gate by grabbing the sigil stone, then keep reloading until you get one
that enchants soul trap on a weapon...

RWG (I've been kinda lucky using that method to collect the kinds of
enchantments I want before bothering with the Mage Guild quests...)
