I'm very interested in using bound weapons, yet I know nothing of their damage output. Upon scouring teh intarwebz, I'm hearing everything from both polarities to all things between--that bound weapons have a weak base damage that never rises and is not affected by weapon-class perks all the way to that damage with bound weapons increases based upon both Conjuration and weapon skill and is affected by all perks.

I want final, solid confirmation. Give me concrete numbers and citations. I will pay generous amounts of Fishy Sticks.

I believe they will do whatever damage a non-upgraded Daedric weapon of the same class would do with your skills and perks.

eg a bound bow would do the same as a Daedric Bow with Daedric arrows. Not 100% sure but I've done a bit of playing around with them in game and this looks likely.
