Just as the name implies, summoning spells are spells that let you summon entities. These can range from humble weak ghouls to powerful Dremora lords! However, you’ll need to hunt down the NPCs selling these spells to use them.
Read on and we’ll tell you where to find all of the Summon X spells for the Conjuration magic school.
Where to Find All Summoning Spells | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
You can buy almost all of the Summon-type spells from a single place. For that, head to Chorrol’s Mages Guild hall, marked on the map above. It’s near the town’s northern gate.
You can find two key NPCs for Conjuration spells within. The first one is Alberic Little, who sells the following Apprentice Level summoning spells:
Summon Ghost
Summon Scamp
Summon Skeleton
Summon Zombie
That aside, you can also find another NPC named Athagar within this Mages Guild chapter. He sells the following spells:
Journeyman Level
Summon Dremora
Summon Flame Atronach
Summon headless Zombie
Summon Skeleton Guardian
Expert Level
Summon Clannfear
Summon Daedroth
Summon Faded Wraith
Summon Frost Atronach
Summon Skeleton Champion
Summon Skeleton Hero
Summon Spider Daedra
Do note that both NPCs will not sell spells to you if they are resting or eating. Try talking to them around 1 PM, as they always seem to be free at that time.
Now, that covers all of the Journeyman to Expert Conjuration spells for summoning. However, the Master-level spells are a bit more spread out, though they’re not hard to find either. Here’s where you can get all of the Master summoning spells:
Summon Dremora Lord – Sold by Volarano. You can find him wandering inside the Bruma Mages Guild.
Summon Gloom Wraith – Sold by Borissean. He’s always inside the Imperial City’s Mages Guild Arcane University. You’ll need to complete all Recommendation quests to access it.
Summon Lich – Sold by Borissean.
Summon Xivilai – Sold by Borissean.
Summon Storm Atronach – Sold by Vigge the Cautious. You can find him at the Skingrad Mages Guild.
These are all of the Summoning spells in the “base game”, though there are also a few more to cover in the Shivering Isles expansion.
Shivering Isles Summoning Spells
The Shivering Isles expansion, which is bundled in with Oblivion Remastered, introduces a few extra summoning spells. For the first set of these, you want to go to Earil’s Mysteries, which you can find in The Crucible within New Sheoth. Earil there will sell you the following spells:
Apprentice Level
Summon Hunger
Journeyman Level
Summon Gluttonous Hunger
Summon Decrepit Shambles
Expert Level
Summon Ravenous Hunger
Summon Shambles
Master Level
Summon Voracious Hunger
Summon Replete Shambles
As for the rest of the Shivering Isles’ summoning spells, they are earned throughout the expansion’s main story. We’ll try to keep this as spoiler-free as possible, but here’s when each one unlocks in order:
Summon Haskill – Baiting the Trap quest.
Summon Flesh Astronach – Rebuilding the Gatekeeper quest.
Summon Dark Seducer – Do the Ritual of Dementia during Ritual of Accession for a 60-second summon. You’ll get a 120-second version during The Helpless Army if you did the Ritual of Mania instead.
Summon Golden Saint – Do the Ritual of Mania during Ritual of Accession for a 60-second summon. You’ll get a 120-second version during The Helpless Army if you did the Ritual of Dementia instead.
When it comes to the Dark Seducer and Golden Saint, just be aware that you can’t have the longer 120-second summon for both at once. It’s one or the other based on your choice during the Ritual of Accession, so keep that in mind.
Venezuelan gamer cursed by being interested by most games, resulting in a ridiculous backlog he’ll never be able to conquer. Been gaming for over two decades now! Few things exemplify his wide variety in gaming tastes as the fact that he’s a big fan of both Souls games and the Atelier series at the same time. Also a big fan of Yakuza/Like a Dragon, Deadly Premonition, Zero Escape, and Dead Rising, among others. Considers Lost Judgment and Sekiro to both be masterpieces.
