ssdavis Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 i am now at Level 22 with 45 Conjuration. Up until now, every time I would cast a Flame Atronarch one would appear. Now I find that spells are failing 3 times out of 10. If I put on some Dark Brotherhood armor, or even other light armor, the failure rate goes up to as much as 5 times in 10. I have not found any info on spells actually failing. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpestilence Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Does it actually give a message or the atronach simply doesn't appear? I was under the impression that all probability had been removed from the game. There is no longer a luck stat, and I have as of yet never had a spell, enchantment, or smith fail to work. I think it detracts from the game, but that is neither here nor there. I am guessing you just have a glitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the good side, at least no magica is used when this happens. However, when I'm running for my life, I'd prefer to not to retry casting a spell! I'll see if it happens in an older saved game. I'll act on your suggestion, and re-install the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilcir Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Be sure that you are not casting it too far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stars2heaven Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Ive had this happen before as well. I wasn't wearing any armor though, and it's only happened towards the beginning of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssdavis Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Figured it out! It is a glitch in the Atronarch Stone that is noted other places. When you conjure there is a good chance the spell will be absorbed instead of occurring. This actually improves your magica substantially, but makes the spells unreliable. I hope they fix this in the patch. I think I'll try the Lord Stone until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
