Notes

• Arniel's Shade is one of the most useful of the summoning spells, especially for low-level characters. There are several reasons for this:
  • The spell has zero casting cost.
  • Arniel is essential, and thus cannot be killed.
  • He favors lightning spells, which few enemies are resistant to.
  • In addition to his array of Destruction spells, he may also heal you, notably the only summon who can do so.
• One downside of this spell is that it requires two hands, so you may need to interrupt what you're doing to re-cast it when it expires.
• Arniel takes up a summoning slot, so casting a second Conjure spell (or a third with the Twin Souls perk) will make him disappear.

Bugs

• Casting this spell over and over again can make one of your summoned shades follow the same schedule as if he was alive. ^?
