ok so in Oblivion, you got your conjuration up just by summoning something

do the summons have to do damage to enemies now? to get exp for it

I have a problem where when i learn new shouts and try to use them, it says dragon souls required. I have killed 4 dragons so far and can't use a shout besides the starting one.

you have to unlock them

go to

B > Magic > Shouts > the shout you want > (X) Unlock
Bottom right of screen should show how many souls you currently have

maybe get damage with bound weapons? lmk cause i was gonna try to get this up next (soul trap ftw)

werewolf is so cool

I just found a really basic bound sword spell

used it for both hands(2 swords)
killed 2 zombies, got 1 1/2 levels in conjuration

Also got exp just for bounding the swords.
This is probably the fastest way to level conjuration up

i cant find it under magic menu

To many spiders in this game,
