Summons don't work 50% of the time. : V

Half the time I cast summon skeleton or summon frost mage and probably with the other skeleton summoning spells from Phendrix Spells, they don't summon.

I am casting within range, and I have enough magicka, it even makes the loud KACHING sound when you summon something...but nothing appears. I thought maybe it had to do with having enough room, but even when I tried in plain open fields, I have to try a few times.

The only non default settings I have in my mods that effect summon or conjuration is I have max summons set to 3 and I have conjuration boosted 100% in skytweak, otherwise I don't know what to say. I have never had this problem before, with relatively the same mod setup. I have no tried any other summons, however, the previous character on this same install could summon flame atronachs just fine, even if there wasn't room it would 'find' room.

Does your character have any form of spell absorption?

EDIT: Nevermind, forgot that bug is fixed by the Unofficial Patch.

He does, and actually. I just realized even though I only have max 3 summons, I have 6 summon 'effects' in my magic menu...also, I noticed when I failed to summon a skeleton just now, a previous one died... in short, I think I have invisible summons. Or they are being summoned under the ground..or something. I don't know how I managed to go over the max summons.

But, yes, I have 50% spell absorption. Also, I don't know if this matters, but my magicka regen is insane. Ie. I can't run out of magicka even if I tried. Magic is so under powered in my game that unless your regen is high you have no chance of being able to rely on magicka attacks. So, I have like 8x regen. I even doubled the destruction school damage in BYOB, I still barely scratch humanoids with my frost bite. Granted, it's a weak spell but I should atleast be able to damage things. Anyways, I digress.
