    Very cool! You should try adding in bound weapons from a conjuration prospective. You can apply poisons with the bound bow from a safe distance and it fits awesomely into the "full conjuration" thing. So you still feel mage like. Because sometimes I feel out of character slashing away poisons with a dagger as necromancer. Bound swords and daggers fix that.

    Also "turn undead" spells fit into the theme of Mastery of the undead. They run in fear from you. I feel like restoration would be like an amazing major school from this and should be upgraded from minor. Based on rather directly attacking you can support your undead from afar and be a master of life energies by healing them and making them courageous and powerful. 

    Also the healing undead restoration spells in dawnguard would be an awesome addition. Keep your undead fighting longer by healing them in combat.

    I had a build like this in my head for awhile. I never would of gotten around to doing it though. So I'm happy you did~ But these are some idea's I through around in my head before. I hope you can use them~

    Anyway. Awesome build. I'm trying it right away~

    This isn't a guide you have to follow 100% of the way, if you want to use command daedra which works on about 2.5% of all the enemies in the game, go ahead.

    That's the cool thing about the build. You boost magicka and stamina (spells and carrying more stuff) and you won't ever have to boost health. Being vulnerable is exciting at times, since you have to make sure your minions are doing your bidding at all times.

    Personally, turn undead was one of the most used spells early on, even into mid game. I could see how the daedra spells would be cool, but I rarely bump into them and when I do, my minions tear them down super quick. Thanks for the suggestions! Glad you like the build.

    Wait, so Command Daedra works undead? Does it just turn them or does it have the same effect on them as it does on Daedra? And does it only work on raised ones or is that including draugrs? I've never experimented with the banish or command Daedra before.

    I didn't read any further than the Rune Master bit given I didn't want any more spoilers (the less I know about Dragonborn the more fun I'll have playing it). Looks solid, so +1 from me.

    Just a note, your statement near the beginning is not entirely true, undead raised with staves don't disintegrate when they timeout

    Wow, the other day I was looking for a pure necro build that focused almost solely on necromancy.  Did you read my mind?
