I'm level 29...and I still don't have a clue how to snatch souls when you
slay enemies. It would be a nice trick to do too, since 'charging' one's
enchanted weapons seems all the difference between abject failure and
success on these quests. Varla stones I've found are more valuable than a
boatload of gold in this game.

Advice, instructions?

You need to have a Soul Trap spell cast on the enemy
at the time that you kill it. This can either be
a normal spell, a scroll, or perhaps an enchantment
on a weapon. If the spell runs out, it doesn't do
anything. So cast it late in the fight or on
something that's quick to kill.

Then the soul fills up the smallest soul stone
that can hold that level of soul. Which is
annoying if you have no petty soul stones and
your grand soul stone ends up holding a rat...

I have the Umbra enchanted sword that I picked up on the Clavicus Vile
Daedric Quest that does it.

I think my question should be how to raise my 'conjuration' skill then. I
am, as of yet, ineligible to the Soul Trap spell. I think it's less than 20
even.

Learn a cheap summon skill then start casting it.

Soul Trap is Mysticism, not Conjuration, unless you're using a mod
which changes that. The most useful Mysticism spell to practice with
is Detect Life.

using teleporter pads (when you find them) is mysticism too. If you have
a soultrap spell in your inventory, you can use it for enchanting items,
whether you can cast that particular spell or not. It is the duration that
distinguish a "cheap" and affordable spell from the expensive and
more lasting ones

In Oblivion, you DO have to be able to cast a spell to enchant with
it, unless you have a sigil stone with the effect you want.
