Conjuration (Skyrim)



''The School of Conjuration governs raising the dead or summoning creatures from Oblivion. This skill makes it easier to cast these spells as well as Soul Trap and bindings.''

Conjuration is one of the 18 skills in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which falls under The Mage skills. The Conjuration skill raises by the use; the summoning aspects of Conjuration will raise by the amount of time/damage output used in combat; these spells will identify themselves as Conjuration spells and will generally focus on summoning. Since Mysticism was removed, Soul Trap is now a Conjuration spell.

Training
Phinis Gestor found at The College of Winterhold can teach Conjuration to an Expert level. He can be found throughout the college, or at night sleeping in the Hall of Countenance.

Fallion, a Conjuration mage that left the mage's guild, is located in Morthal and can teach Conjuration to a master level, beware of the price when learning higher levels.

At first he will be in his house and come out at night from time to time, it can be tough to find him during this time. However, once you've helped the Jarl and the hold around, the door to his house will become unlocked and he will be available nearly always. His house can be found left from the main hall.

Casting Soul Trap on a dead creature or humanoid will raise the skill. You can cast it repeatedly with no wait time and raise it to 100 fairly quickly. *tip you can cast it on your own horse.

If you Raise a dead body, and attack it with destruction spells until you kill it once again, your skill will raise.

Summmoning an Atronach then banishing it right away will raise the skill.

Swimming through waters with Slaughterfish in them (such as those to the north of Dawnstar), then going onto dry land and repetitively casting a dual-wielded spell to conjure a one-handed weapon (Such as Bound Sword) is a rather quick way to level Conjuration. The Slaughterfish will not flee when you are out of their attacking range (on land), but will stay at the water's edge.

''Note: Using spells such as Conjure Atronach or weapon outside of combat raises the player's skill considerably slower than during combat. An easy trick to raise this skill quickly is to repeatedly summon during an encounter, eg. Conjure Sword, then sheathe it, then cast it again, it can be done with spells like Atronachs, but the much larger cost will usually deplete your magicka reserves quickly.''

Notes & Tips

 * Combining The perk Twin Souls from the Conjuration tree and the Extra Effect perk from the Enchanting tree, players can craft Fortify Conjuration and Fortify Destruction gear to reduce the casting costs for both schools to 0. Utilizing this, players can summon two Thralls then proceed to cast Destruction spells all for free which effectively forges a very broken mage.

Quests
Upon reaching level 90, Phinis Gestor at the College of Winterhold offers a quest to teach the Dragonborn how to permanently summon a Flame Atronach. Phinis teaches the Dragonborn the Summon Unbound Dremora spell, which can only be used on the roof of the Hall of Attainment (the top floor of your housing at the college). Once summoned, it will immediately turn hostile to you. Defeat the Dremora 3 times and he will submit. After the quest is completed; Phinis offers the other thrall spells for a considerable fee (roughly 3,000 Septims each).
