Hagraven Feathers

Black feathers from hagravens – Fortify Conjuration plus three harmful effects.

Hagraven Feathers are the ragged black plumes of the Reach’s witch-birds. Three of the four effects are harmful – Damage Magicka, Frenzy and Weakness to Shock – so they lean towards poisons, while Fortify Conjuration gives summoners a reason to keep a few.
