Yeah, you're spot on. This is something that's pretty well know in some corners. I like the idea of robes being a magicka net though, that's a new idea. So to clarify to help you out:

Magicka is absorbed through the skin and into their blood. Blood carries magicka through the body. No one generates their own magicka. Aedra are different. I would say that they don't generate their own magic, but instead, as Aetheric beings and existing on a higher sub gradient, they are capable of absorbing and storing more.

Magicka is also known as creatia and is required to live. Every single thing must have magicka or they will die. So with this knowledge comes the question about vampires. What's their deal? Well they are not capable of absorbing magicka from the sun, so instead it burns them from the intense energy. They still require magicka so they drink it out of the blood of others.
