NotesEdit
- The summoned spider will replace any dead thralls. Even with the Twin Souls perk you can only have one spider at a time.
- The staff is not affected by Conjuration spell cost reduction and the summoned creatures aren't affected by any of the Conjuration perks, however the duration of the Sphere Guardian is affected by Fortify Conjuration potions.
BugsEdit
- The Sphere Guardian is affected by fortify conjuration, but none of the other spheres or spiders are.
