Forgive me for my abiguity, I was not trying to suggest that electricity does not exist at all within the Aurbis. Rather, I was trying to say that being able to harness one form of energy does not inherently mean can harness another. Of course, electricity is present in Mundus, but it would not entirely say the infrastructure (i.e wires) would be sufficiently present for large scale usuage. I suppose in the process of electrolysis, though, a mage could just keep chanelling electricity, but that does not seem very efficient to me. Anyway, I would say that the electricity came from magicka, rather than using magicka to convert one form of energy to another, unless you count magicka as a form of energy I guess, but it is just semantics. Besides, I think Dwemer metal appears better qualty than Aluminium alloys, and I just think that it is a rather mundane choice for such a race. It would not be surprising in the slightest for different, more magical varities of metals to be present on Nirn (or any material, for that matter, ebony being one example)
