A finishing move performed with a Bound Sword.
Bound Sword is a Novice-level Conjuration spell in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. When activated, an ethereal sword of purple energy appears in either the left hand, right hand, or both -- depending on player preference. The Bound Sword looks like a Daedric sword. Sheathing the player's weapons dispels the Bound Sword and other Bound items. Players can perform special Finishing moves with Bound Swords equipped. Attacking targets with a Bound Sword increases both Conjuration and One-Handed.
Perks
- With the Perk, Soul Stealer, all bound weapons instantly Soul Trap enemies killed with them, if the corresponding Soul Gem exists in the player's inventory.
- Another Perk, Oblivion Binding, banishes any summoned creature and turns any raised one.
