Skyrim:Atronach Forge
The Midden's main feature is the Atronach Forge. This forge can be used at any level to create a summoning staff, certain spell tomes, elemental salts, hostile atronachs or a potion. At higher levels, the forge can be used to craft (summon) high level gear. Near it, the book Atronach Forge Manual can be found, along with the components to create the atronach recipes within. It refers to other Atronach Forge Recipes scattered about Skyrim.
Having a Conjuration skill of 90 will allow the Conjuration Ritual Spell quest from Phinis Gestor to be started, which will result in you obtaining a Sigil Stone, which can be placed on the pedestal of the Atronach Forge. Some recipes require this object. As part of Fall of the Space Core, Vol 1, the Space Core can be placed on the pedestal and is necessary to summon a Dovahcore Helmet.
The Atronach Forge has an offering box and a lever. The lever must be pulled once for each conjured result. Before activating the lever again, previous activation animations must begin or nothing will happen. The forge prioritizes recipes using two form lists of recipes. The first list contains the daedric recipes and is only used if the Sigil Stone is placed in the receptacle, and the second list is always available. From these lists, the items are prioritized in ascending order of their index number as indicated in the table below. The forge chooses to use ingredients alphabetically when multiple available types would be valid. The forge will not normally consume extra ingredients in the box, but due to a bug, each recipe which uses a soul gem will consume both a filled soul gem and an unfilled gem if both are available.
Finding a copy of the recipe in the world is not required to craft that item. If you supply the necessary ingredients, any of the items are available.
In the table below, "Delta" means the gold price difference between the forged object and the combined value of the cheapest items needed to create it and the priority is the order in which the recipes are chosen, with 1 being first.

† Even though two pieces of meat are supposed to be required, both can be fulfilled with a single piece of meat.
§ The Daedric boots produced are an unenchanted pair of the Dremora-specific boots, not the standard Daedric Boots. See the bugs section below for details.
However, there are benefits to using the pieces dropped by the mobs. The pieces dropped by mobs will have multiple changes. First of all they almost all have higher attack than crafted pieces. Along with that, they give special effects. Many will inflict debuffs onto enemies, like weakness or poison. Higher levels of a piece will give stronger and longer-lasting effects, and some high levels even have secondary attacks (for example, the cinder blade has a flamethrower attack).

Reviews for "The Witch Father and the Dark Arts: Spells, Curses, and Hexes"
1. Jennifer - 2 out of 5 stars - "I was really hoping to enjoy 'The Witch Father' based on all the positive reviews I had read, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The story was confusing and hard to follow, with too many characters introduced without proper development. The pacing was also off, with slow and dragging scenes that made it hard to stay engaged. Overall, I found 'The Witch Father' to be a disappointment and regretted wasting my time on it."
2. Mark - 1 out of 5 stars - "I found 'The Witch Father' to be a complete letdown. The characters were shallow and lacked depth, making it impossible to connect or care about their fate. The plot was predictable and lacked originality. The writing style was choppy and awkward, with overly descriptive passages that didn't add any value to the story. I struggled to even finish the book and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a gripping and well-written fantasy novel."
3. Allison - 2 out of 5 stars - "I had high hopes for 'The Witch Father,' but it fell short in many aspects. The world-building was confusing, and it felt like the author expected readers to already be familiar with the lore and background. The dialogue was stilted and unnatural, making it difficult to get immersed into the conversations between characters. The pacing was also an issue, with the story dragging in certain parts and rushing through others. Overall, I was disappointed with 'The Witch Father' and found it hard to stay engaged throughout."
4. David - 1 out of 5 stars - "I cannot recommend 'The Witch Father' to anyone. The writing was weak, filled with clichés and uninspiring descriptions. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked any real development. The plot itself was nothing more than a rehashed, generic fantasy tale that offered no surprises or originality. I struggled to find anything redeeming about this book and felt like I wasted my time reading it. Save yourself the disappointment and skip 'The Witch Father'."
