Its definitely not a technology, considering people do it as a part of their natural abilities. I'm fairly certain that your belief that magic manipulates energy in the way you said is partially accurate.

I believe that magic in the elder scrolls may not be the manipulation of these scientific energies, but perhaps the manipulation of the laws that control them. The laws of physics in the universe of the elder scrolls are most certainly not the same as ours. It is highly possible that magic manipulates the laws of the universe, which would explain how it can create entirely new planes of existence with different laws of physics than ours.
