Posts By Khizar MundiaWhile the bound gear you can summon may not be too useful because of the limited duration you can use it for, it's still something handy for emergencies. Some of the best conjuration spells help you avoid getting into the thick of the battle by having others fight for you.
8 Summon Scamp
Apprentice Level Spell
- How To Obtain: Buy from various merchants as it’s a common spell
- Spell Duration: 20 seconds
This is one of the better spells for when you’re at a lower level, as Scamps deal decent damage to enemies and cost less magika to summon. The creatures also use the Flare spell against enemies, which deals normal damage.
While the creature isn't something fear-inspiring that you can conjure, summoning it can be good training and it's also a decent fighter. It can deal level-dependent melee damage and six points of fire damage with its flare spell. The Summoned Scamp's health points are also level-dependent, so it should suffice unless you’re going against a mob or a stronger enemy.
7 Summon Clannfear
Expert Level Spell
- How To Obtain: Buy from Athragar
- Spell Duration: 45 seconds
This expert-level spell summons a small but dangerous Daedra creature to fight for you. Clannfears don’t have any unique attacks, and they only use melee attacks to take down enemies. However, they’re fast and don’t give up until their foe is dead or they’ve disappeared.
The creature also has decent health, so it shouldn’t be taken down too fast and will continue attacking swiftly. This spell is also good if you’re trying to reach the master level for the conjuration skills to summon more dangerous creatures. After all, while Clannfears stick around for a longer duration than most other creatures, they're ultimately too inflexible in terms of their attacks.
6 Summon Spider Daedra
Expert Level Spell
- How To Obtain: Buy from Athragar or Gaspar Stegine
- Spell Duration: 20 seconds
This spell summons the Spider Daedra, who is ready to shock enemies' health away. The creature can use various magical spells, including a restoration spell, to ensure it sticks around and defeats your foes. Its poison spell may be the most effective as the spit causes damage to health, agility, and speed effects on enemies.

Posts By Khizar MundiaThe Spider Daedra also has a shield spell it uses to protect itself from attacks. Although the creature sticks around for a mere 20 seconds, it makes an impressive attempt to defeat all foes. Its melee attack also significantly damages opponents.
5 Summon Lich
Master Level Spell
- How To Obtain: Buy from Borissean
- Spell Duration: 20 seconds
The Summon Lich spell brings forth a powerful undead creature who can tackle multiple foes single-handedly. The creature primarily relies on spells and uses its staff to take on enemies and destroy them. If you’ve encountered Liches before, you may know they summon the undead using spells to have a lesser creature do their bidding, but unfortunately, summoned Liches don’t have this ability.
Another negative is that the creature is relatively slow, but its positives more than make up for its low speed. It's a formidable foe that can easily dispatch strong enemies with its powerful staff and put fear in the hearts of enemies.
4 Summon Gloom Wraith
Master Level Spell
- How To Obtain: Buy from Borissean
- Spell Duration: 25 seconds
The Summon Gloom Wraith spell makes the strongest wraith variant fight for you. It uses various frost spells to deal significant damage to enemies. Normal weapons can’t harm a wraith, so this creature is especially useful in a fight against powerful non-Daedra enemies. The Gloom Wraith also uses burden effects to make its enemies slow down and dispatch them.

Posts By Khizar MundiaThe creature is powerful and its immunity to most normal weapon types as well as frost effects is its biggest strength. This is also why it's useful in almost any fight as long as its weakness isn’t used against it. If you’ve encountered them in any chapel undercroft, then you know that they can take on anyone.
3 Summon Xivilai
Master Level Spell
- How To Obtain: Buy from Borissean
- Spell Duration: 30 seconds
The Summon Xivilai spell conjures a blue Daedra who may have stunted magika, but is ready to rain fire on anyone standing in front of it. Its melee attack is dangerous and significantly damages opponents, but the creature uses magical attacks as well.
It may use a chameleon effect to blend in so enemies don’t see him perfectly while attacking them. The Daedra also uses the Lightning Bolt spell to shock enemies with nifty 35-point damage. It can also cast the dispel spell, which is a massive advantage when fighting mages because their summoned creatures and weapons will dispel.
2 Summon Dremora Lord
Master Level Spell
- How To Obtain: Buy from Volanaro
- Spell Duration: 35 seconds
The Summon Dremora Lord spell calls a Dremora Markynaz wearing Dremora Markynaz Armor and armed with a Dremora Claymore to fight for you. The creature can blast enemies with its powerful melee attacks and also makes use of destruction spells. The Dremora is a powerful foe and is especially useful against undead enemies.

We recommend prioritising these quests in Oblivion Remastered.
Posts By Khizar MundiaWhile it can take on most enemies because of its brute strength, it's better to use the creature against enemies that are especially weak against its attack. This is because the summoning spell works for a short period of time, so it may be wise to use the creature to its full potential.
1 Summon Storm Atronach
Master Level Spell
- How To Obtain: Buy from Vigge the Cautious
- Spell Duration: 40 seconds
The Summon Storm Atronach spell is one of the most powerful conjuring spells in Oblivion Remastered, though you need to reach master level in the skill before you can use it. The creature you can conjure is immensely strong and won’t die in just a few hits like most other conjurable allies. Storm Aronachs can land good melee attacks with a significant reach.
Their ranged attacks are also good, and they can use shock spells or pick up the rocks circling them to throw at enemies. Storm Atronachs are the best to summon when fighting Daedra because of their sheer strength. In addition, they aren’t affected by paralysis or poison and can also reflect damage. The strong creatures can wear down even the toughest of foes in the limited time they stay and fight for you.
