Conjuration spells are very useful in Skyrim, whether you want to call up strong Atronachs or weapons. These are the best ones.
Skyrim has a lot of spells, and each school of magic gives you different benefits and ways to play. No other magic school can offer as many different types of magic as Conjuration. Both enchanters and witches need to know about this school of magic.
You can call up almost anything you can think of with conjuration. You can call on bears, Atronachs, and even Daedric Lords to help you fight. Besides that, controlling the dead is an important part of Conjuration because it lets you make lasting thralls or trap enemy souls in soul gems. These are Skyrim’s 15 best Conjuration skills.
Reanimate Corpse
Reanimate Corpse makes it sound like it can only reanimate dead people, but it can actually do a lot more than that. You can bring anything back to life, even bears and thieves. This spell is great for any kind of battle because it can be used in a lot of different situations.
This spell can bring most people and animals to life and make them your thrall for 60 seconds. It’s a low-level spell, which means it’s pretty simple to learn. Talk to Farengar, the court wizard, in Dragonsreach. You can buy it from level one, which means you can do so on your first trip to the city.
Command Daedra
Being able to control a Daedric enemy at will is very helpful when facing Conjurors, but they aren’t always easy to find in Skyrim.
This works on both Dremora foes and Atranachs. The enemy will be stunned if it doesn’t work, giving you time to run away or try again. What a great spell! You can use it to change the course of a battle, like when you fought Galdur in the Galdur Amulet quest.
Conjure Ash Guardian
Ash Guardians are static guns that use ash-related skills to do a lot of damage. When enemies are in tight spaces or close up, these Ash Guardians can do a lot of damage.
Keep in mind that the Ash Guardian needs a Heart Stone to stop being angry toward you. Still, if you call it up in the middle of a fight, even if you have a Heart Stone, it can be a great relief. This weapon is tied to a rune, so it doesn’t affect how many summons you can make. As a whole, this late-game Conjuration magic is a good way to deal extra damage in a close combat situation.
Conjure Flaming Familiar
As fireballs that can find their targets, Flaming Familiars run toward them and then explode in a big area. It’s amazing how useful this spell is for something that’s only an Apprentice magic and costs 57 Magicka.
It can help you level up Conjuration faster by eliminating thieves and other creatures early in the game. In the middle to late game, you can also use it to weaken targets that aren’t aware of your position because the explosion doesn’t hurt them.
Summon Arniel’s Shade
One of the best Conjuration skills in Skyrim that doesn’t get enough attention is Arniel’s Shade. This spell calls up an ethereal version of Arniel from the College of Winterhold. For 60 seconds, he can cast a bunch of fire and lightning magic from far away.
This spell’s main purpose is to protect you from damage while Arniel takes it. His spectral form can’t take most damage from poison or physical attacks, which makes him a great shield while you level up. The quest is offered early in the game, which makes it easy to get the spell.
Summon Arvak
Not all creatures that can be called must eliminate enemies. Arvak is a unique mount that you can use to travel through Skyrim’s huge open world, but only if you finish this strange Soul Cairn questline for an NPC.
Aside from the fact that this spell only lasts for 60 seconds, Arvak will not disappear while you are riding him. You can call up Arvak and ride him for hours without him leaving your world. The quest’s main goal is pretty straightforward: find the horse’s skull and give it back to its owner. After that, you can call this horse whenever you want, from anywhere.
Soul Trap
Soul Trap doesn’t make you a weapon or call minions. When this spell hits an enemy, it locks their soul in a soul gem of the same size. Enemies with higher levels are trapped in bigger soul gems.
The target will be affected for two minutes by Soul Trap. To enchant gear and renew weapon enchantments, you need soul gems, which is very important for any mage. If you don’t have this spell, it will be hard to use Skyrim’s strongest things because many of their powerful enchantments wear off quickly. If you can get a Soul Trap charm for your weapon, though, you don’t need to worry about this spell.
Conjure Wrathman
Wrathmen are unique enemies that you can find in the Soul Cairn. They were added in the Dawnguard DLC. These enemies are very tough to fight, and they can help you a lot in a tough battle.
These enemies have a huge life pool and watch over the watchtowers. This can work in your favor, letting the Wrathman tank attack for you. If you spend skill points on the Conjuration perk in Dark Souls, it will get stronger and have more health.
Flame Thrall
At first view, Flame Thrall doesn’t look like a very strong Master level spell. This spell gives the person a Flame Atronach that lasts forever. It’s too bad that it counts toward your maximum number of summons.
It’s well worth the work to get the Atronach and finish the task that leads to it. Flame Atronachs’ fireballs and long-range attacks do a lot of harm. This Flame Atronach is different from others because it can use the Flames spell for close combat.
Conjure Frost Atronach
With a high HP of 1,667, Frost Atronachs don’t really die. These Atronachs don’t care about their own safety and can stand in front of dragons.
Because they are so strong, Frost Atronachs are great defensive minions for any mage. Even mages who don’t use Conjuration can use the Frost Atronach’s power to stay alive by calling it just before battle. Summoners, spellswords, and any mage who wants to level up Conjuration should get this power right away in Survivor IO.
Bound Sword
The spell “Bound Sword” is great for getting you out of a tough spot quickly. You can use this power to call up a Daedric Sword for two minutes.
You use your Conjuration spell to call it to you, and destroying enemies with it improves your One-Handed skill. You can level up both perk trees with this, or you can just use it on ranged characters when you need to fight close enemies and don’t have a bow handy.
Conjure Dremora Lord
The most interesting enemies in The Elder Scrolls games are the daedra. With their scary looks and cool-looking gear, they are amazing to look at.
The Conjure Dremora Lord spell can be used to tame one of these Daedric fighters. For one minute, it calls up a Dremora Lord with Daedric armor and a Daedric greatsword. They don’t do much damage from far away, but if an enemy charges you, this Dremora Lord will quickly dispatch them. They are one of the best protectors out there.
Frost Thrall
Compared to the Conjure Frost Atronach spell, Frost Thrall lasts forever, but it takes an absurd 1,100 Magicka to call one.
The high Magicka cost is well worth it; a constant Frost Atronach will be useful because it can take a lot of damage and deal a good amount of damage to enemies in close combat. There is no doubt that this is a better version of the Conjure Frost Atronach spell. All magicians should have it.
Bound Bow
Conjuration is more than just calling in monsters. It’s true what it says: Bound Bow calls up a Daedric Bow with shots that you can use for two minutes.
Being able to call up a Daedric bow is very helpful, even though the Mystic Binding perk only makes its base power go up. Plus, it comes with 100 Ethereal Arrows, so you can shoot for a long time while it’s active. This can be very helpful if you must eliminate something far away as an attack character or summoner. If you want to level up quickly, you can use the Bound Bow to level up Sneaking, Archery, and Conjuration all at the same time.
Dead Thrall
Have you ever wished you could make your own zombie? Because you can change so many things about it, Dead Thrall is the best Conjuration spell in Skyrim.
You can get the best gear for this thrall because it takes over any things that were on it when it died. Want a strong meat shield and all the Daedra gear? Bring them back to life with a Daedric set! The person you bring back to life can also take on any skills that NPC used. For instance, if you bring Estormo back to life in “The Staff of Magnus” questline, he will follow you around and use his signature Lightning Bolt skill. This is the best Conjuration spell you can use in Skyrim if you’re ready to give your thrall good gear.
