I'm getting dizzy trying to find a way up to 2 conjurers walking back and forth on a ledge above me. I've even gone over every inch of the place looking for a button to push. Could Anyone please just give me a hint. I've cleared the whole dungeon searching and madness is approaching.
I'm sorry that i have to say that i give up, but my eyes hurt !

I'm assuming you are on the first level, which is kind of confusing and maze-like. However, there's only one button to push and you only need it to get to the second level (you don't need it to get all the conjurers on the first level). Several sections of the maze of bridges have a sequence of falling blade traps that can kill even a high-level character in just a few hits, so be careful (wait until they fall and jump over them before they reset).

If you're already on the floor, you need to walk around the perimeter (just pick a direction and keep going) until you find the stone stairs leading back to the maze of bridges and ledges. Then head generally southwest as far as you can on the bridges, using your quest map as necessary.

Or from the start of the level, go straight (NE) at the first intersection and turn left (NW) at the end. Pass two sets of falling blade traps and turn left (SW) at the end. There's a floor plate that opens the iron gate. Go past two welkynd stones and turn left (SE). Go to the platform with a glowing pedastal and turn right (SW).

Either way, when you finally come to an iron gate that is "opened elsewhere", turn around 180 degrees. Walk a short distance to the first intersection. Turn left. Go across a short bridge and turn left (it's the only way you can go) along the wide ledge. Pass two welkynd stones and turn left (again, the only way you can go) along the ledge. There should be two conjurers there guarding the button (down a short corridor at the far corner of the ledge) which opens the iron gate to the second level.

-EDIT-

An alternative strategy would just be to bait them to the edge of the ledge and pick them off with arrows or ranged spells. To loot the bodies, you can blow them off the ledge with an area effect fire damage or damage health spell (but then you'd miss out on the second level).

I'm so sorry that i was not specific in my description Belthar,, you were being So helpful ! But these 2 are on a ledge just after entering the dungeon, crossing over the walkway, and can take pot shots at me. I've pushed the button, opened every gate, been thru the lower level, and into the second main section, but no way up to those 2 back at the entrance. What in the world am i missing.
I must thank you for your patience on this. But then i could be blind or really dense !

The simple answer is you can't get up there, unless maybe you have maxed out Acrobatics and the Boots of Springheeled Jack.

If you're playing on a PC and use the console to turn off the collision detection (the equivalent of flying) you can get up there, but apart from the two conjurers there's nothing there. I know 'cos I just checked, and there is no access to that area, it's annoying, but just ignore them.
