But what about the Atronach? With the Atronach appearing as a perk under the Alteration skill tree, should we assume that the Atronach guardian stone has been replaced? The perk fulfills it's typical function (regaining magicka by absorbing spells). What function does that leave for the Guardian Stone? I suppose it could provide the same function, or a similar, stacking function, but it would seem an unusual choice to have the Atronach birthsign appear in two places (as a perk and as Guardian Stone), with the same name, and the same (or similar) effects.
Is it possible that we will see a new birthsign on the thirteenth Guardian Stone? Maybe something related to the main storyline? Maybe a sign that improves shouts? The Dragon, perhaps?
Has anyone out there seen an Atronach Guardian Stone, or a stone that doesn't match an established birthsign?
