You can get the Soul Trap spell in Oblivion Remastered by buying it from several magic vendors, mostly in Mages Guild halls and a couple of specialty shops.

Quick Scoop: Where to get Soul Trap in Oblivion Remastered

The key thing to know is that Soul Trap is a Mysticism spell , and in the remaster it’s sold by many guild mages instead of being a super-rare find.

Main places to buy Soul Trap

You’ll usually find it here (you only need one of these):

  • Cheydinhal Mages Guild
    • Talk to Trayvond the Redguard ; he sells a low‑level Soul Trap spell during normal guild/open hours (roughly 9:00–21:00).
  • Chorrol Mages Guild
    • Alberic Litte sells Soul Trap; you may need to have access to the guild and visit while it’s open.
  • Bravil Mages Guild
    • Delphine Jend has Soul Trap on her spell list.
  • Skingrad Mages Guild
    • Druja and Sulinus Vassinus are both listed as Soul Trap vendors; at least one of them should have it in stock.
  • Bruma Mages Guild
    • Selena Orania can sell you Soul Trap.
  • Anvil Mages Guild
    • Thaurron is another listed seller.
  • Leyawiin Mages Guild
    • Alves Uvenim sells Soul Trap.
  • Special locations / shops
    • Ungarion at A Warlock’s Luck (in Bravil) sells Soul Trap as a spell.
* **Melliwin** at _Dunbarrow Cove_ (player lair content) can also sell Soul Trap.

* Some guides mention **Edgar’s Discount Spells** and the **Mystic Emporium** in the Imperial City Market District as occasional sources, but guild mages are more reliable.

Requirements and tips

  • Soul Trap in the remaster is generally an Apprentice‑level Mysticism spell , often around 20 seconds on Touch.
  • You typically need around 25 Mysticism to cast the lowest‑level version; many players level this quickly by repeatedly casting cheap Mysticism spells (like life detection) before swapping to Soul Trap.

“Where to get Soul Trap in Oblivion Remastered” is basically: go to any major Mages Guild , talk to the spell merchant, and look for Soul Trap in their Mysticism section.

Mini “what to do” checklist

  1. Fast travel to a city with a Mages Guild (Chorrol or Cheydinhal are popular picks).
  1. Enter during daytime/guild hours so vendors are at their desks.
  1. Talk to the spell merchant (Trayvond, Alberic, etc.) and choose “Buy Spells”.
  1. Purchase Soul Trap (it’s usually cheap, ~30–50 gold in most guides).
  1. Make sure your Mysticism is high enough to cast it, or level that first with other Mysticism spells.

Why Soul Trap matters now

With Oblivion Remastered trending again in 2025–2026, Soul Trap has become a staple in guides because:

  • It lets you fill Soul Gems to recharge enchanted gear and craft new enchants.
  • Many “meta” builds rely on constant weapon recharging, so grabbing Soul Trap early smooths your whole playthrough.

TL;DR: Go to any major city’s Mages Guild (Cheydinhal, Chorrol, Skingrad, Bravil, Bruma, Anvil, Leyawiin) and buy Soul Trap from the resident spell merchant; Trayvond the Redguard in Cheydinhal is one of the clearest, early-game options.
