Conjure Familiar is a Novice-level Conjuration spell in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Casting it summons a ghostly wolf to fight for the Dragonborn. No corpse is required. Breton Dragonborns can cast this spell at the beginning of the game. Conjured Familiars cannot be soul trapped, nor are they affected by banishing spells. Conjure Flaming Familiar is the upgraded form of this spell.

TriviaEdit

• It is possible to contract Rockjoint from a familiar if it engages you in combat.

BugsEdit

•  360   When casting the spell and walking forwards the player will vanish, the conjuration sound effect plays but there is no graphic and no magic cost. The player vanishes for a few seconds and reappears.
• On some occasions, the transparent "ghost" effect of the familiar will be removed upon killing one, and it will appear as a normal wolf but with an amber coat, identical to the Alpha Wolf, a variant of wolf that was removed from the game.
