-dual-casting in the sense of casting the same spell using both hands is both common and easy. casting different spells simultaneously, however, is an advanced technique that can go badly if you aren’t careful
-transforming one thing into another completely is very difficult, harder the larger the object or being is to start with and yet harder if the thing you want to turn it into is very different from the starting point. brelyna maryon of the college of winterhold is extremely talented, just probably not in the way she wishes she was
-gender affirming procedures are really easy to come by in tamriel, especially in magic-heavy societies. there’s a wide variety of ways to use alchemy and alteration or restoration magic to sculpt your body the way you want
-most schools of magic have targeted, hands-on, and area-of-effect variations of their spells. restoration sticks to the hands-on variant for the same reason that your surgeon doesn’t do her job with a trash claw from ten feet away
-spells like “close wounds” are not permanent solutions. they’re the equivalent of a bandage or emergency first aid. proper restoration takes time to cast and isn’t a cure-all; you still need time to recover, and there can be complications
-certain things that you might assume are magic won’t be considered that way by the people who use them. for example, most dunmer probably wouldn’t consider their ability to summon an ancestor guardian to be magic
Hi!! For the request of domestic scenes, a dunmer knight on laundry day, with a couple furry friends trying to help? These scenes are so cute, I love the domestic ☺️
this is probably one of my favorite drawings ever uwu Ty for requesting :)
I don't disagree that the Death of the Emperor in Skyrim having no Impact on the Empire's war effort in the civil war is... annoying.
But Bethesda not having every substory connecting is... pretty normal for it, so w/e.
But also - and I don't think their was main intent - like... it does make sense? The Empire's whole thing is going to be continuity and stability. It's a whole-ass state. One emperor dies, there's another to inherit... usually. One general dies, the Empire sends another.
Because they're not the Stormcloaks. The stormcloaks are a personality-driven war effort. yes, there's ideological underpinnings, but if Ulfric had died at Helgen, the Stormcloak effort does get fatally undermined. Ulfric is the Stormcloaks.
But the Empire is bigger than any one Emperor. The Empire is an idea. That's why there keeps being new Empires every time the last one falls, too.
