[quote=Grey]Like a Bound Sword spell that summons up iron-quality instead of daedric, or a Fortify Attribute used on senses instead of the usual application.[/quote]
Or maybe a dagger - has less damage and looks like something a beginner would have learned. 

And for example, a kind of rank spells like oblivion. We would have access to novice magic. A novice bound sword would have less damage (could be even compare with iron).
