So, basically, no matter how 'evil' an individual may be, stealing their soul will always be the greater evil. And if you happen to catch them and they don't fight back, then you don't have the right to murder them. Here's an analogy, someone being a thief doesn't give you the right to rape them. Which, to this I declare just plain wrong. I can imagine some people would defend this by saying 'well, what if you do this to bad people.' And sometimes the greatest crime of this individual in question might have been being an animal. You're murdering AND obliterating every part of them. Because, well, you're doing far worse than murdering them. As a crime this is steps above murdering someone. In Elder Scrolls, souls aren't just an abstract idea that may or may not exist (which they don't in my opinion) in that world, they certainly do exist and it's quite inarguable that the soul is the very essence of their being. Distasteful, yes, but at least the body is being put to some use. But really, compared to confining a soul and exploiting it until there's basically no essence left, isn't necromancy not really all that bad? To it's core, it's just using an empty husk as a servant. Because, you know, 'necromancers are evil'. So, necromancy is illegal and these mages go about culling them. No, instead I want to waste your time on a moral debate about soul gems and how ALL mages are inherently evil, even with their obligatory code of ethics which they use to justify their insane crimes against existence its self. I know how to enchant things, so you don't need to worry about wasting your time giving me a tutorial.
