This is what the Nords get for messing up the Snow Elves and claiming Skyrim as there ancestral home. The magical energies of Aetherius that are harnessed by those (Elven master enchanters) with the knowledge to cast magic is far more potent than a simple fusion of Iron and Corundum to mold into steel and then made into frail and cheap axes and swords from a pot of coal and fire, Nords are stupid and haven't got a clue what they are NOT capable of.
