In the game out of the box, you can cast it continuously on dead creatures. Before I jumped back into it a few months back (after you showed me your kewl weapons), I decided to try to avert the many game scrams by downloading and installing the game patches. One of those patches repaired the "bug" with soultrap.
The patches improved the game stability alot for me, although it still scrams occasionally loading new areas. I use F5 before every door transition now, and in the wilderness about once every league. I rely on the mage guild for most of my transport. In my Event Log, the game seems to be timing out waiting for the CD-ROM to spin up to speed. I'm seriously thinking of exploring some HDD alternative, or setting the CD on full spin for the duration of my play. Sometimes I can play for hours, and sometimes for minutes between scrams.
