The recent 1.2 update makes no mention of a bug where conjured friendlies could be absorbed by the user if the player has any amount of spell absorption (particularly annoying with the Atronach stone + Alteration perks). I'm sure that's not the only problem, but I think it's been a pretty prevalent one in the community, as well as pretty gamebreaking--it's not some little texture bug, after all. Any news on this?
