Does Soul Tear shout affect conjurations

skyrim-dawnguardthe-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I've heard that the soul tear shout is pretty rad, but it also resurrects the enemy if it dies. Will this resurrection affect my conjurations? If I have 2 thralls and soul tear someone, will one of my thralls die, or will I have 3 conjurations?

Best Answer

Yes, Soul Torn enemies count toward your conjuration limit.

Soul Tear will not let you exceed your 1- or 2-summon limit. While the damage and Soul Trap effects will work on summoned creatures, the reanimation effect will not work on targets immune to reanimation (e.g. summons). Note, however, that its effect is more powerful than even Dead Thrall, and thus will work on creatures such as giants and mammoths that are simply too powerful to be otherwise raised.

Creatures raised with Soul Tear will crumble to ash upon death or upon the end of the effect's duration (60 seconds) just like most reanimation effects; you cannot use Soul Tear to raise a corpse (I've tried), your target must be alive when you Shout.
