About this mod

Adds a variety of summonable creatures from ghosts to animated weapons that fight on their own. Special "Ability Summons" allow for summoning with no spell casting or conjuration skill.

Permissions and credits




[size=+1]You call yourself a summoner? I'm not impressed. Between your tired old Flame Atronach and that sorry excuse for a corpse you call a zombie, you have the all the variety of the town bard. Maybe that head of yours is better for stopping maces than learning spells? No matter, there are other ways to call upon aid that don't require mana and fancy hand gestures. I sell secrets from a far away land, they can be yours.... for the right price.[/size]



These curious weapons appear mundane to the common adventurer, some mages might even detect the faintest trace of magic. However what you see before you are no mere wall ornaments. With the proper spell they will spring to action with a life of their own and defend yours.

Favored by Necromancers everywhere the Undead are common here in Skyrim, risen from they grave they exist to do your bidding. They may not be fancy but sometimes a sack of meat between you and a blade serves well enough. Even if it does smell.

The most basic of all undead, the Skeleton is the first servant of many young grave robbing mages with a fascination with death. Whether planning your revenge on that Nord bully or plotting the overthrow of your local Jarl, the Skeleton will willingly take a blow to the head. At least he doesn't smell.
