True and that is a canon book in more than one installment of TES. Thanks. But I understand I could be wrong, and the source of magic could be Aetherius itself and Magnus’ rip to Aetherius creating the Sun gives Magicka to Nirn. But at the same time the other theory is that what mortals call magic aka magicka is what is left of Magnus on Nirn. And why it’s not bound as an Earthbone. But I’m glad that my in game theory has evidence to it.

Like both theories are plausible that magicka is either what is left of Magnus or it comes from Aetherius. And are canon in game history like I didn’t make them. I just added some interpretations of how and why. Hell isn’t there another canon game theory. Others explain as being accumulated life-force of dead organisms, which mages tap to convert into magical spells, and so on.

So far we have three theories stated by mages and books in TES.

1. Magicka is what remains of Magnus after he was all but destroyed.

2. Magicka comes from Aetherius via the Sun and Stars created by Magnus and the Magna-Ge.

3. Transmutation of dead organisms life-fore.

But again I like the first theory the most.
