As for Tullius' threat: ''"There something I can do for you? Perhaps direct you to the nearest prison..." So yeah he does threaten to throw you into prison.'' That's really a bad argument. That's like saying an Altmer can't use destruction magic because they are more vulnerable to it.

Well, it's not a direct threat, but indirect, he says it in such a way to let you know that you're not supposed to be there. There's a difference from casting something without being in contact with it and touching elf-kryptonite.

That's not a direct threat? He only says that after you mention Helgen...so yeah it's meant for you directly.
