THat answer makes sense. So it is like there is something you can't see, and the scrolls give you the ability to see it. Imagine an interrogation room with the mirror that is acctually glass, then the criminal takes out an elder scroll and looks through it in the direction of the mirror, he can suddenly see through the mirror and becomes blind, possibly because his sight becomes trapped where he is looking.
