Conjure {Element} and Wands

When I use an Air Wand for example, will the Conjure Air Spell work with that weapon, giving me increased damage?

Yes it will, but only if its an air wand. Conjure only works on weapons that give that kind of elemental damage, which is why elemental strings and hilts are so popular nowadays.

good to know, I think I won't make an eartmage in that case, Air or Water look better, now I only have to find the skill and a suitable wand/staff
