Arqade Asked on February 19, 2021
Currently, I’m enchanting a Glass Bow (Exquisite) with Fire Damage. I have a Grand Soul Gem and a Petty Soul Gem available.
When selecting the Grand Soul Gem, the weapon has the following stats:
When using the Petty Soul Gem, these are the stats:
I’ve also noticed that the charge level of the weapon is just slightly less.
Since I plan on actually using this weapon, I really have a hard time seeing any worthwhile difference here. The only changes are:
I could see using the higher gem perhaps if I wanted to go straight to market with this weapon. But other than that, is there really any point in using a higher-level gem to enchant weapons you actually plan on using?
The difference is how big the maximum charge will be. So, if you use the petty gem, you will have to recharge the weapon all the time. If you use the grand gem (assuming it contains grand soul), you will have to recharge it only rarely.

The type of soul gem affects the amount of charges on a weapon or quality of the enchant on apparel.

The gem doesn't matter.
The soul inside the gem does.
You can get a lot more out of a grand soul than you can out of a petty soul -- many more charges (attacks) for weapons, much better stats from armor. A gem can also fit in any soul its size or smaller.
I'd suspect, from the information given in the question, that your grand gem has a lesser or common soul in it, so you're not going to see much difference between that and your petty soul gem with a petty soul in it.

The Soul affects how much charge the enchanted weapon has for example- A petty soul in a petty soul gem will have the same charge as a petty soul in a common soul gem. The soul gem them selfs show what kind of size soul it can hold up to for example- common soul gems can carry common to petty souls but cant carry grand or greater souls.

sorry but this is all incorrect, on skyrim when you pick a grand level soul gem it dont change the charges available, as to a petty soul gem, before selecting a soul gem u have a slider that seems to have a predetermined amount of charges/power a weapon can have, you can sacrifice power for charges or visa versa, but the only thing that changes with the gem is the weight of the weapon and the value all irreverent to combat.
