my enchanted weapon drains too fast is this normal ?

[BigBoss103]

i enchanted a weapon in the university with 3 effects with a grand soul gem and it drains completely with like 6-7 swings is this normal ?

Stronger the enchantment, the faster the drain.

Which is why stacking something like 100% weakness for 1 second on top of a damage type, is better than just doubling the damage type's damage.

Was the grand soul gem filled with a grand soul? I forget how soul gems work in Oblivion, and if they can catch lesser souls or not.

Yes, enchanted weapons in oblivion are notorious for their fast drain rate, i can reccomend varla stones and azuras star.

if you want an enchantment for your primary weapon make it with a low damage so it last longer. if I remember correctly dots are even more efficient. if its just a found item you can assume it was made more for power than efficiency.

I like high power enchantments on heavy weapons and bows and lower power for fast swinging weapons like one hander but if you know in advance you can have your high damage enchanted weapon put on the hot bar for hard fights only and bring charged stones
