Ok, on my current playthrough, I'm doing a kind of battlemage- close-combat specialist, light armor, etc. And I discovered that... well, levelling conjuration with her is *too* easy!

I tend to cast her bound weapnry before entering into combat... and in the time it takes to get from Windhelm to Ivaarstead on foot, I leveled her conjuration from 20 to about 35.

By comparison, on a playthrough that currently has about 6 hours on it, my destruction skill is about 28-29, and that was constantly used in fights to soften opponents before whacking them with a sword...

Did someone at gamesas not realize how easy it was to level Conjuration this way?
