- For other uses, see Bound Items.
Bound weapons are conjured weapons used in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Summoned through the use of Conjuration magic. All bound weapons are weightless versions of non-upgraded Daedric weapons. The Bound bow is the strongest Bound Weapon. When conjured, 100 Bound Arrows accompany it.
Casting bound weapons spells in the presence of an aware enemy increases the Conjuration skill each time the spell is cast. If used after the weapon appears, the skill relevant to the weapon type increases instead of Conjuration. For example, conjuring a Bound sword raises Conjuration when cast, but only raises One-Handed when enemies are successfully struck with it.
Poisons such as Paralysis can be used on Bound weapons. If the poisoned weapon is sheathed or the conjuration ends without the weapon being used, the poison is lost.
