Bound Bow

Summons a spectral Daedric bow and 100 arrows for 120 seconds.

Bound Bow conjures a ghostly Daedric bow plus a hundred spectral arrows for two minutes. The bow has a base damage of 18 (24 with Mystic Binding), the arrows hit like Daedric ones, and all Archery perks apply. It’s the classic spell for mage-archers who don’t want to carry a bow.

Tips

You can poison the bound bow, which turns it into a ranged poison delivery system.
