Smoke bombs.....maybe. Farming Equipment? Yes. TES may be locked in a state of perpetual war, but they must discover ploughs and sythes sooner or later. The small explosives can just be more AOE spells...

Just no gasoline or gunpowder. Oil to run SPECIALISED macinery, such as a few attempts to reverse engineer Dwarven tech would be okay I suppose. Maybe someone tries to run a Grain crusher thingy using gears and thermal energy either by an oil-fueled furnace or mages. It would fit into the lore, and it would show some advancement in non-war science.
