Just wondering if there's a fix in the works for Conjuration & absorb magicka effects for PS3. I know there are mods out there to fix it, but obviously those aren't available for console. This is a really disappointing problem.. if you're a conjurer you effectively have to avoid all absorb magicka gear / racials / abilities in the game.

For those of you who don't know, for every % of absorb magicka you have, that's a % chance for a conjuration spell like a summon or bound item to fail (be absorbed).

I was kind of disappointed that this wasn't in today's patch.. since it seems like a pretty glaring issue for any player that uses conjuration.

Wow..I never knew this..in also a Breton who uses conjuration

Yeah, I discovered this when I popped the racial in the middle of a really crappy situation, and found that my summons kept failing.

It is also the reason I decided not to use the atronach stone

This needs to be fixed...along with a bunch of other things

This is a pretty big issue with just the Atronach stone my conjuration spells fail pretty regularly resulting in a frail mages death far to often, the reason I stopped playing a mage.
Hopefully will be sorted out soon, although not sure if Bethesda are even aware this is a problem!

It's sad, because I've been thinking the same thing - just start a new character. I hit the same disappointment in Oblivion, where the sheer weakness of summoned conjurations led me to stop playing the game altogether.

But, anyway, I like my mage, and will continue to play him. I'll just have to avoid any gear that has absorb magicka, and never use my racial :\

Edit: By the way, if you have the atronach stone and the Breton racial active at the same time, it's impossible to summon or bind weapons. 100% absorb magicka.
