Learning Spell From Enchanted Items/Disenchanting?

[Dudeless]

I'm a Long Sword user in the game. But I find a lot of non-long sword type weapons from the enemies I kill. And some of them are enchanted. Few years ago, I used to play Skyrim and I remember that we were able to learn the spell by disenchanting it and then apply that spell to whichever weapon we want. Can we do that in Morrowind, or is the only way to learn spell is to buy them?
Btw, another question, when I try to enchant items, it wants soul but says that I don't have a soul. How to find or catch one?
Thanks.

1. No you can not disenchant, you need to buy (or get is as a quest reward) a spell that has the effect, then it appears in the enchanting menu.
2. You need a soul gem in your inventory and a soul trap spell. Cast the soul trap spell onto an enemy (no NPC) and kill it within the duration of the spell. The soul gem needs to be bigger the higher the value of the soul of the enemy is. Just stick with Grand Soul Gems or Azuras Star.

The souls of Ascended Sleepers and Golden Saints are the ones you need for constant enchanting effects.

Thank you very much.
One last question: Is there anything I can do with the enchanted(but non-long sword type) weapons instead of selling them? I mean, is selling them the only way, or is there some place I can use them?

if they do not cost at least ~250, and they are not better than yours, simply leave them... gold hoarding in morrowind is only an issue at the very beginning, later you simply become unpriceable artefacts ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ colossus. some people like it, some people hate it, but economy in vanilla morrowind really teaches immaterial values...

i think, devs was reacting to players feedback after daggerfall, where you needed to grind loot almost like in some mmo...
