Hey man, does anyone have any advice for me on Oblivion? All right so to pass the time I decided to do all the daedric shrines. Now the only shrine left is Hermaeus Mora. Well he gave me his Mora's Soul Trap. And I captured two souls. But I accidentally hit a character that can only go unconscious. And then hit someone else. So I decided to do a 24hr wait three times. And the god damn Mora's Soul Trap still ain't working. Does anyone know a fix I can use to continue?
Thanks man and woman. hahahahaahha.

Apparently, you're not to cast it on two different beings within the 120 second time-frame of the spell. Otherwise, this scenario happens.

If you have the PC version, then you can either download the Hermaeus Mora Daedric Quest Fix (http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2863) or The Unofficial Oblivion Patch (http://www.baldurdash.org/TESOblivion/TESOblivion.html).

If you have the console version, then try the following.


A workaround is possible on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. Cast the soul trap on an unwanted NPC and then cast it again (within 120 seconds) on the NPC you actually want to trap (at this point, if everything was well a pop-up message would appear telling you that you can only soul trap one person at a time). Now kill the second NPC and you should trap their soul successfully (assuming you needed their soul in the first place!). If this does not work, cast the spell on an invalid target (e.g. a crate, barrel, horse) and then on your desired target. All ten races can be collected this way, without having to revert to an older save.

If this doesn't work, then sorry, but you're going to have to load an earlier save. And if you don't have one, you'll just have to forget about the quest for this playthrough and try again with a new character.
