(I think that they have torsion springs depending on what kind of ballista it is. I think the ones in TES are honestly just giant crossbows, and are loaded the same way.)

Dralnach snapped his head around to Daria and Brih the instant he heard Brih ask for help. In the blink of an eye he was there, leaving his own ballistae loaded and aimed down at the Altmer as he turned to help the women. Charging up magicka in each hand, Dralnach spread his arms for opposite tasks, using telekinesis to draw back the cable in one hand and readying a healing spell to heal Daria's hands. As he struggled to maintain the opposite spells, he was forced to draw back the hand with the telekinesis spell and take Daria's hand with the other in order to accomplish the twin tasks.
