Eis Vuur Warden, Wayward and Contract Scholar “These esoteric symbols seem to be associated with the constellations at one moment, with the planets at other moments, the Daedric Princes in even more moments, and – which is the strangest in my opinion – all of the above at once!” The Magus talked about “natural magic” like alchemy, magnetisme, numerology, astrology, talismanic magic, among others. Some symbols of the Elder Alphabet resemble those belonging to the “Theban Alphabet” from The Magus written, in real life, by the occultist Francis Barrett. Justinius Poluhnius, Effect of the Elder Scroll If this is unclear, I hope that a proper dichotomy will lay it plain.” I have grouped the effects into four, finding that the avenue of experience depends largely upon the mind of the reader. I, Justinius Poluhnius, have undertaken to thoroughly document the ailments afflicted by the Elder Scrolls on their readers, though a unified theory of how they manifest continues to elude me and remains a subject for future study.

The numbers assigned to each symbol are arbitrary and are not supported by any lore.
