what else should I invest in conjuration doesnt really appeal to me in Skyrim as much as it did in Oblivion due to lack of summoning Daedra only reason I've even used the familiar spell was to zap the wolf with the hardest spells I had when I couldnt find any "test subjects" (giants and mammoths) ...
One of the high level conjuration spells is Summon Dremora Lord, and it's awesome. Even if the Dremora Lord wasn't a total behemoth (which he is), I'd be casting him all the time for the ambient dialog alone. If you haven't already, hit the mages college, find the conjuration dude, and
get that spell!!are the illusion or alteration schools any good ? on that note with Paralyze can bear rolling still be done ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbJkyii6HWw
My caster character has focused on Conjuration, Destruction, and dabbled in Restoration. The only Alteration I've used was for the Transmute spell. If you're going to walk around in cloth, I hear Alteration is pretty much essential. Illusion certainly sounds fun, what with all the fearing, calming, and frenzying... I just don't know if the spells keep pace with the levels of baddies you encounter.
