How to Empty Soul Gems in Oblivion
"Oblivion" is the fourth installation of the critically acclaimed "Elder Scrolls" video game series, and is available on a variety of platforms. A common issue that players run into during gameplay is the usage of Soul Gems. These are items in the game that allow players to store spirit energy from slain monsters for future use in enchanting items or recharge magical items. Once a spirit is stored in the Gem, it is impossible to empty the Soul Gem without the use of a game modification.
