  One of my friends had a Jainist roommate. He had the most boring diet I've ever seen from trying to maintain his religion in the US.

  I know its easy peasy but I want to provide a more believable dynamic, or wanted as I yet again lost motivation to attempt a story.

  What angle are you going for

  I was going for human extremists, not a particularly Nord one, who were enraged by the Dominion, Dunmer being included because they were elves, their history of slavery making it easier to demerinize them... was as I lost motivation to attempt a story.

  So magicka is that the flow of energy from Mundas (I think) through all life or is it more like the will power of a person ?

  Also lore wise if someone was to overextend themselves by casting spells would that cause any kind of mental fatigue or damage or do their spells just fizzle out like in the games?

  So I was recently thinking a lot about Dwemer´s Tonal Architecture. What exactly is it? If we can consider Shouts to be tonal architecture of Nords and Spinner´s tales tonal architecture of Bosmer, what would be Dwemer´s thing then?

  What´s the most unique think about Dwemer? The technology, their constructs. Could that be it? So, how does it work? There isn´t exactly said how the construct are powered. They clearly are not running on electricity or steam, they are powered by magic - at least that´s what I think.

  But how? We know that they have soul gems in them, so could be that soul gem powers the Cores, gyros and thus everything inside constructs?

  Phil brought to me the fact about Heart of Lorkhan, Tonal Architect Kagrenac and the tools. With the divine spark of the Heart, Dwemer created their own god, Numidium - which is basicaly big ass automaton. So what if the whole thing around the Heart is actually just taking the making of automatons to completely new level?

  I call Veloth the Pilgrim! I summon thee!

  I'm not Veloth, but I can't just pass by)) First, I wouldn't call Spinners' tales tonal architecture, their are more of image architecture, since they deal with people's imagination and memories.

  As for the Dwemer automatons, see, a soul gem contain the life force of a living creature, which originally was to animate the creature's body. So here the metallic carcass is a body, and the actual soul is its program the Dwemer placed in it. The Numidium is just the same but on another level, you're right.

  Image? It's a spoken tale, it's just another form of using sound. And as far as I know there is no image arhitecture in TES. :) Yes, that's what I was thinking about Soul Gems. I'm not really sure if automatons in Morrowind contained soul gems too, but this would actually mean that Dwemer found the use for Soul Gems even before Ganus Valerion. And more importantly, does that mean that Dwemer are actually masters of "Soul Magic"?
