Bound Bow is an Adept Conjuration spell that summons a glowing bow and 100 glowing arrows for two minutes. The arrows hit as hard as Daedric arrows, and the bow weighs nothing. It is one of the strongest bows a character can get early in the game.

Spell Tome

Bound Bow is learned by reading Spell Tome: Bound Bow. Calcelmo, Falion and Phinis Gestor sell the tome.

Location

One copy of the tome is hidden in the prison at Fort Amol. It sits in a bucket, under a lantern.

Gameplay Tips

The Mystic Binding perk raises the bow's damage. Soul Stealer and Oblivion Binding add Soul Trap and banishing to every arrow.
Any arrows in the pack can be equipped once the bow appears. Dragonbone Arrows hit harder than the bound ones.
Hits with the bow train Archery, while casting it near enemies trains Conjuration.

Notes

The bow can be summoned in places where gear is taken away, such as jail and Cidhna Mine.
