Bound Sword puts a ghostly Daedric sword in your hand for two minutes – base damage 9, or 14 with Mystic Binding. Casting it trains Conjuration, swinging it trains One-handed, and it counts as a real sword for perks, poisons and Fortify One-handed gear.
Tips
A classic choice for spellswords: no weight, no repairs, and with the Soul Stealer perk every kill fills a soul gem.
