With the correct perks in the Conjuration tree, including Mystic Binding, this bow is stronger than the non-upgraded Daedric Bow.

Casting Muffle in Illusion may increase the effectiveness of this tactic.

Stealth-based mages can use the bow any time a long-range sneak attack is desired.

This is particularly useful to mages who would otherwise have no use for poisons. For example, a Drain Magicka poison can be used when fighting enemy mages from afar.

Poisons can be applied to the weapon, allowing them to be deployed at range.This allows for rapid switching of fighting styles for example, an assassin can switch between long-range archery attacks and close-range backstabs. The spell can be held in one hand, allowing for a weapon or spell to be equipped in the other before summoning the bow.This can be resolved by learning the Quiet Casting Illusion perk. Casting Bound Bow creates noise, which may cause the detection of the Dragonborn while sneaking.

The Bound Bow is also affected by all Archery perks as well as the Sneak perk, 'Deadly Aim.'.Mystic Binding: Increases the base damage of all Bound Weapons.Oblivion Binding: conjured Daedra attacked with bound weapons are banished.Soul Stealer: automatically inflicts targets of bound weapons with Soul Trap.Thus, the Conjuration skill governs the magicka cost of the spell, and the Archery skill governs the damage ability of the weapon. The Bound Arrows have damage rating of 24, equal to their Daedric counterparts.Ĭasting Bound Bow (in the presence of enemies) increases the Conjuration skill, and landing shots with the weapon increases the Archery skill.The Bound Bow has a base damage of 18, which increases to 24 after the perk Mystic Binding is applied.When cast, Bound Bow equips an ethereal version of the Daedric Bow and 100 ethereal Daedric Arrows for 120 seconds.
