Conjuration Ritual Spell

Speak to Phinis Gestor inside the College, and ask him if there’s anything else to be learned regarding Conjuration magic. Indeed there is: powerful spells that can more closely and permanently bind creatures to your will. One of the riskiest involves summoning and commanding an Unbound Dremora. Phinis agrees to teach you the summoning spell, but it will work only in a properly prepared location. When you summon the Dremora, you must order it to deliver you a Sigil Stone from an Oblivion gate. Return with the stone, and Phinis will inscribe the spells you’ve yet to learn. Ask further questions if you need to.

• Summon Unbound Dremora

Binding the Unbound: Once you’re on the roof of the Hall of Attainment, approach the area Phinis has prepared and attempt the spell. When the Dremora appears, it is extremely angry at your impertinence and refuses to yield to you. Quickly change your weapons to those you favor when fighting foes, and battle the Dremora. Dispatch it, banishing it back to Oblivion. Rest if you need to and summon the Dremora again. Seething with rage, it again refuses to yield. Kill it so it is banished once more.

When you summon the Dremora for a third time, its demeanor is somewhat subdued. Speak to it, commanding it to bend to your will. Summon it one more time. On this fourth occasion, it grudgingly obliges your wishes: Order it to retrieve the Sigil Stone. It disappears and returns with the Sigil Stone.

• Sigil Stone

Quest Conclusion

Return to Phinis and present him with the Sigil Stone. He is pleased with both your abilities and the Conjuration spells he can release. In return, he hands you back the Sigil Stone and teaches you a new spell.

• Spell: Flame Thrall

Postquest Activities

Along with the Flame Thrall spell, Phinis now has the following spells for sale, should you wish to buy any:

• Spell: Dead Thrall
• Spell: Frost Thrall
• Spell: Storm Thrall

In addition, you can plug the Sigil Stone into the Atronach forge in the Midden. Otherwise, this is a very pretty paperweight.
