I'm on PS3, so no mods for me. In the Alteration School there is a perk called 'Atronach'. It absorbs 30% of Magicka spells that hit you. I know that the Atronach Stone absorbs summons from the Conjuration tree as it's bugged. So my question is, for those that know this perk well, does the perk also absorb summons? I'm hoping it doesn't otherwise it would ruin my character I'm planning as he will be relying on Atronachs.

Yes it absorbs summons. It also takes 5 minutes to fix on PC.

So why it remained unpatched we may never know.

So the perk is also bugged? Damn. Looks like I can't take it then.

It'll screw up your summoning unfortunately. If you're going to go with atronach perk/stone, it's probably best to rely more on reanimated dead than atronachs

Yeah, it's bugged. My current pure mage is avoiding it. What do you mean by ruin your character?
