i basically made this short analysis(yeah...that was the short version) to give you a more satisfying answer to magic and the manipulation of physics...i mean what? Magicka is your emotion? ego? even if that is true and you know anything about what those words means...what does that explain?

Do you really believe our Dovahkiin--these emotionless husks of shells really have any...psychology expertise? And the Mages at the College are just studying psychology? By far non of the mages i've seen really looks like they possesses any kind of psychological capabilities...

There are just way too much inconsistancies to make that explaination satisfying or mean anything at all. but once i've grabbed onto the salt problem, i've started to peel back the layers of SCIENCE and really boils them down to a understandable coclusion.

While yes there are still some holes like...just how are these gods manipulating physics? How are they pushing the world harder than it pushes back? But like i said...if i knew how to do that i wouldn't be here...and there's not really any gods out there to be interviewed about the subject.

So for now, that's just the kind of the suspension of disbelief we need to lend to our game developers to get some good entertainment, we can't just force them to crack the codes of the universe just so they can explain everything that happens in their game. At the moment, i'm fine with just gods granting humans powers, it keeps things nice and tidy, without much complications. And all we need to do is to just offer them souls from time to time to gain their favor(Like literally that's all they ever want!)
