text: so slaughterfish can't attack you, and
text: so that you'll still be in combat Cast bound sword (don't dual sword it), sheath your weapon and repeat.
text: You can get the Apprentice Conjuration magic perk to make this process go by faster.
text: This process is so quick you can have 100 conjuration in little over 1 and a half hour.
text: OR repeatedly cast soul trap on any dead creature.

sents: text: Your conjuration skill does not increase by conjuring anything out of combat , it only increases while you' in combat with something or someone.
text: Conjuring up a creature and a weapon, and then entering combat does level up your conjuration skill.
text: So, try to just conjure a creature and use a bound weapon in all fights, this will level up your conjuration skill relatively quickly.
text: You can also cast Soultrap on dead enemies, so you could put on a lot of magicka regeneration gear and continuously cast Soultrap on dead enemies to level up the skill.
text: Alternatively, cast it until you run out of magicka and wait an hour (using the wait feature) and repeat.

sents: text: In the lower conjuration-levels (around 20) the Soultrap spell gives nearly 1 level of Conjuration per use.

sents: text: You can also summon a creature, and then attack it with a bound weapon.
text: After a while the summon will start fighting back, and you'll get experience.
text: It may be a bit cheesy, but it works and it can be done everywhere!

sents: text: Least "boring" way I've found
text: : keep two spells handy while exploring, something like Conjure Flame Atronach and Soul Trap, or Bound Sword and Soul Trap.
text: Soul trap everything when you get the magicka, even while not in combat, even your companion (I don't know how many times Lydia's threatened to kill me) as you explore--animals, dead bodies, etc.
text: Conjure Atronach or Sword to deal with low level baddies
text: you are likely to encounter.
text: Switch to a favorite damage dealing spell or weapon for dragons, giants, etc.

sents: text: From what I've noticed conjuration goes up by having a conjured creature out, but maybe only when you're actually fighting something.

sents: text: Conjuration does only level up in combat, however you can summon a creature, such as an atronach, then summon a bound weapon and start beating on it.
text: At about half health it will turn on you and you will get some skill ups for being in combat.

sents: text: Summon atronach, make it attack you, hide from attacks, and constantly cast a bound weapon.
text: Best to hot key it for pc users and just switch to a new spell and back to bound weapon.
text: Happy leveling
