A Flame Atronach

A summoned Flame Atronach in combatFlame Atronachs appear as female humanoids made entirely of glowing flames and wearing elaborate black metal armor. Though the weakest type of Atronach encountered in Skyrim, they are extremely agile and reasonably proficient in close combat. However, they prefer to use flame-based magic from afar whenever possible. When melee combat is forced upon them, they rely upon a Flame Cloak spell to constantly damage attackers while they retreat for a better shot. Flame Atronachs can be encountered as random enemies, summoned by hostile mages, or even summoned by the player to aid in combat. When 'killed' by combat damage, Flame Atronachs will expire in a fiery explosion that inflicts burning damage to everything within a short radius. Players with high Conjuration skill may summon a more powerful Potent Flame Atronach after obtaining the Elemental Potency perk.
