fair point

but saying that, my chest does them on mass.

up till now. no one i know knew that but thanks for that.

umm.... if you drop a soul gem in your inventory onto the ground and then pick it up again it will be empty........

the chest is located in the breezhome in whiterun in the small bedroom

If you have a soul gem with a soul in it and the soul is much smaller, say a petty soul in a grand or black sould gem, then it's such a waste. This chess removes the trapped soul without destroying the gem. Put one or many in at once then cast a shock spell at the chest. this has not been tested on unusual gems such as the azura star but seems to work the main gems from petty to black soul gems. I even provide a manual. let me know if you find any bugs.
