Personally, I think a few schools could be added as Weapon Skill Lines in this game

We alrdy have:

- Destruction
- Restoration

Next, there are 2 schools that could be implemented as weapons too:

- Illusion: NB Shadow skill line (<3) and unused weapon (Illusionist NPCs and Abnur Tharn use those)
- Alteration: potential Magicka Tank Weapon skill, similar to Sword & Shield

Conjuration wasn't a mainstream school until the end of the 3rd era: it was practiced by hedge mages mostly (Daedric Summoning)
Necromancy: banned in many provinces, again practiced illegally by necromancers
Thaumaturge: added to Alteration
Mysticism: Soul Magic (necromancy could be viewed as the dark side of Mysticism)

And the crafting skills Enchanting and Alchemy.

conjuration = necromancy?
conjuration also has the abilty to summon deadra and armor/weaps aswell

Nope

Conjuration is the art of calling forth creatures from Oblivion like Atronachs, Dremora, etc...
Necromancy is the dark use of Mysticism, created by Mannimarco. He studied Mysticism along with Vanus Galerion at the Psijic Order, but the King of Worms used it to control the flow of life and death. Mysticism contains spells like that (Soul Trap)

During the time of Skyrim, when Mysticism was no longer recognized as a school of magic, the spells were added to Conjuration

On the other hand, in Morrowind all the Necromancy-themed spells were from Conjuration. So summoning undead, etc. Might have just been a limitation of the system, but whatevs.

Yeah, but they were "Summon" spells too in a way

Just like later in Skyrim: Summon Boneman, Mistman, Wrathman, you had Summon Skeleton, Ancestor Ghost, Bonewalker,...
They didn't bring a dead body to life

Hold up I gotta correct you on the "They didn't bring a dead body to life" part @Tryxus in Skyrim there is a raise dead spell unless I misread your post.

I know this is on computer but can confirm they were on consoles aswell.

I was talking about the Morrowind Spells
In Skyrim, you got Raise Zombie, Dead Thrall, etc...
