Just tried out the atronach stone, and I can no longer use conjuration spells. Looked it up on the wiki and its a bug because the spells are casted at you, they get absorbed. This is ridiculous, I was planning on using alteration for my next character, a sneak mage that uses non-armor clothing (after 1.3, hoping some bugs will be fixed).

But I guess I will have to avoid this atronach perk and the standing stone. Pity since it's a nice effect against mages.

Is this a bug for everyone, or just some people? Anyone else had this?

It's everyone and it might not even be a bug but just a trade off by design.

It only absorbs these Conjuration spells~ *spectral wolfs/flame/frost/storm/daedra summons*

Everything else is fine ^^ but yes, it is a bug.

And this mod fixes the issue

Found it yesterday. As I play a Conjuring Battlemage myself it was an instant DL.

It only absorbs the main useful conjuration spells ha. I don't bother with thralls as dead thrall doesn't seem to work on anything of significance (I usually get X is to powerful for dead thrall), and the other thrall spells aren't that useful to me as I don't want a storm atronach following me around forever.


I play on xbox, sadly this isn't an option for me. :confused:

Are you serious? It's obviously a bug.

Choices, Choices! Atronach or Lord for my conjuring spellsword?

Wow. Learn something new every day. I had no idea.

I have been having trouble conjuring, it takes like 5 or 6 casts to get it to go. I thought maybe having thralls and the 2 summoned creatures perk was just making it act strange. I did just recently switch to the Atronach stone. I didn't put 2 and 2 together. Tonight I will swap off the Atronach stone and test it again.
