Skyrim Skills and Perks Guide: Conjuration

The School of Conjuration governs raising the dead and summoning creations from Oblivion. This skill makes it easier to cast these spells, as well as Soul Trap and Bindings.

Conjuration is good for any type of mage since it lets you summon a companion which can always be useful in battles. Any class can complement itself with Conjuration. Also useful for enchanters because of the Soul Trap spell.

Level up conjuration by sending your conjured creatures into battle and having them do damage
