In few words, this is the only active damage option if you're planning a spellsword build which doesn't rely in destruction perks. Pretty decent as a backup for a vampire assassin build with a magic focus only in illusion and conjuration, for example.
I honestly didn't realize the casting range on Flaming Familiar could get to be so long-it's a long range homing bomb! I'm going to have to go back on my mage character and revisit this one.
It's a good spell, but most definitely a niche one, great for sniping at a distance, I started using it quite a lot and thought it was worth doing a video on
It's basically a self-directing Fireball. If you put points into the Summoner perk for range it can be targeted almost like a Staff spell. If you have Quiet Casting it is easy to harass enemies from stealth.
This is so bizarre: I *literally completed this quest earlier today*... just hours before you published this video to RUclips. Cheers man. Glad to see you in my notifications.
That's odd, I replied to this and my comment disappeared, anyway, I hope you use this spell it's a lot of fun ... And thanks for the comment, it means a lot ... Stay safe
I know, but imagine how much worse it could be, at least we have the internet, TV, books, and games to keep us going ... It would be nice if everyone hadn't bought all the bog roll !!! ... Stay safe brother
@@TiddlyOggy Yes, you're right. It's better to stay positive. I spend my days doing the research that I normally would and the other part playing Pokémon. Gods, how I adore that franchise! With the gym closed I do fitness in the morning here. Now that 10 kg dumbell I still had from when I was 17 of so is very convenient. What do you do now, aside from this global self-quarantine simulation?
I have things to do around the house, animals to look after and watch some films so I'm good, I should do more videos but I'm not in the mood tbh, though I'm also on call out for emergencies at work so I'm pretty restricted anyway
Killed Nazeem in Whiterun with it, didn’t get a bounty. Now, what about chickens? Does anyone know if a person can use this on a chicken and get away with it?
@@XoRandomGuyoX With poison anything, you need to be good at sneaking and not get caught, or you'll get a bounty. This way, you can kill anyone that can be killed in broad daylight in full view of everyone, and still not get a bounty, sneaking isn't even option.
@@whitewolf3051 The nice thing about Poison Apples though, and maybe it's true for Flaming Familiar(?), is that the kill isn't even attributed to you. Normally even if you don't get a bounty NPCs still "know" it was you. With Poisoned Apples though, not a trace of guilt is to be found.
This spell isn't that strong so why do they give it you after such a powerful boss when it is basically useless at this point as it is not as strong as other summons?

It's a cracking little spell, you could almost be a mage archer so to speak
Quiet Casting + Summoner makes this a maddening spell for your foes.
This made me chuckle, you are clearly as fond of Heimskr as I am. I wonder if jumping up and down on his body is a universal player reaction!
Always happy to see a video from you!
Thank's that means a lot ... Stay safe
I never gave this spell a chance because i thought it would just be the regular weak familiar but with fire damage.

The Flaming Familiar is what I'd like to call a 'pacifist friendly' spell.; whatever it kills won't be added to your kill count.
It makes it an almost OP Assasins weapon that's for sure, how you getting on?
@@TiddlyOggy Pretty much meh. This Quarantine takes too long, even for an introvert like me.

This gets me excited to play again, and I just finished a 4 hour bender!
Its a fun spell that lets you play in a very different way.
Thanks again man!
You're welcome brother
If it’s good for smokin’ Heimskr, I’m in!
Well, I thought I'd put that in just for you 😃 ... Stay safe
Used it to kill Nazeem in Whiterun, and Fultheim in Night Gate Inn. No bounty added for either.
Killed Nazeem in Whiterun with it, didn’t get a bounty. Now, what about chickens? Does anyone know if a person can use this on a chicken and get away with it?
I like to feed Nazeem a Poison Apple from Rare Curios. I've had enough of him harassing me, Anoriath, Carlotta, his wife, etc.
