The Elder Scrolls Lore: Magic
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- Magic, Clevercraft, or Magicka, is the primordial and raw energetic force that envelops all environments within the Aurbis. Comprising of Aetherius, Mundus, Oblivion, and Nirn. Magic can be used in a variety of ways, for self defense, religious purposes, healing, and many more. While many individuals use Magic for the betterment of the world, there are many throughout history who have chosen to use it in ways that goes against law, or all life on Nirn. This video discusses how magic took it’s place in the world, how magic affects life on Nirn, it’s many different schools, the way it is perceived by each culture, and how it has changed throughout history.

Hi everyone! Thank you all for your patience, a long video takes a bit to make, which is why I've been absent a bit, otherwise please enjoy this video! I apologize if it seems too long a video, unfortunately magic is a subject that covers a wide variety of information. :D
Also a nice little funfact: The Image I drew and created at 46:50 is a ShadowGate from ShadowKey, I couldn't find any HD official art for it, so I decided to draw it. The way I created the warping red background in the door is taking a screenshot of the interior of my current Minecraft base and warping it to Oblivion in GIMP. Voila, you have yourself a wonderful ShadowGate!~
@alucard Shepard I will definitely add Molag Bal to the list! Thanks so much for your request!
She plays Minecraft too!!!! What a woman 😍😂😂
i dont think you can make a video thats "too long" M'Lady
You could add a few slides at the end showing your sources for about 10-15 minutes as to not "clutter" the description. Just a suggestion, but I loved the entire video overall.
You could always break longer videos up into a video series with 2 or 3 "parts" That would increase your views per piece as well if you break it up into separate content.
Lastly the most powerful school of magic... Modding.
Only 5 people have been known to do this...

Using chim to reshape the world
Well since its all a dream. We can say we achieved chim and make it all cannon

Restoration is a perfectly valid school of magic!

I never understood her defensiveness about restoration. It’s the most widely accepted school as being useful. Would anyone in outside the college say it’s not good?
@@FunkBastid Yeah, it was odd, but I guess it shows that she really doesn't go out the College much, and is very insecure about how she perceives the others treating her. :0
@@FunkBastid i think its because it's not as flashy so students think it dull. Arcanum makes it way cooler
And don’t you dare to tell otherwise!
Putting the time and effort into researching the lore to create an accurate, well presented video on such an obscure topic? Now that’s a work of magic.
SIMP
@Caleb. How so? I don’t think you understand the meaning of this word.
@@calebthompson3782 Ah yes, complimenting someone makes you a simp.
@@calebthompson3782 Kinda cringe bro
Magic is an obscure topic?
Oh boy one hour long? This is gonna be good.
This is ASMR for me.
Absolutely
An hour of lore on Magicka? #Worth
And I am a NORD, not a damn magic student of college
As UA-cam ages, I find more channels like this that are so wonderful but by the time I arrive have ended and moved on. It's like coming upon a beautiful house deep in the woods that has been reclaimed by the green. It's vibrancy visible as through a clouded glass where beauty once lived but has long since left and only haunting memories and longing remain. Thank you at least for that. Hope you are well wherever you are...
Just go write your book already
Still wanna know if this channel ever comes back to life
@@kingjamizationI hope it does One day, I found this channel a couple month or so after the last video
This feels like a lecture at a college and I absolutely love it
By falling out of favor with modern mages do you mean the game devs forgot about them😁
I was gonna hit like on your comment but it seems a shame to hit like at 69 so you get a comment instead
@@Timmothy2012 I guess u can hit the button now
@@dantealivieri5390 we must raise it to 420 then stop and continue the chain of 1 comment a year

@@Wranderous0001 Eyy.
Wow, this is a really in-depth, well-written video. Keep up the good work!
Avarti thank you so much! I also quite enjoy your work as well, and you have definitely inspired me to make my videos as well!
@@ladyofscrolls4598 don't worry about it :) thanks!
i'm really impressed how well you pronounce all the more difficult words, that's the area most other content creators often fail at.
Seems like this young lady is not just a content creater but someone who genuinely enjoys the lore
I actually thought fort the longest time 'alteration' was called 'aliteration' because of other channels mispronouncing it
@@Timmothy2012 yup, remember when she shouted out other channels about ES lore on introduction video, she basically watch all other channels
This is what I love about the Elder Scrolls: I had no idea there was THIS much lore on magic and I almost always play mages. Magic is my favorite thing in fantasy period and the Elder Scrolls has been a massive inspiration for my own fantasy worlds. Then I started playing with some immersive, lore friendly mods, expanding on the magic available and now I can never play a pure melee or stealth character again. I am a mage for life and proud of it.
Ethan Harrod which mods do you use?
@@tamago9037 Apocalypse, Ordinator, Sancrosanct, Undeath, Elemental Destruction, Adept of Ash, Moonlight Tales, Magical College of Winterhold, Reliquary of Myth, Unique Uniques, Thunderchild, Wintersun, and many others I can't remember off the top of my head. I went with as much variety as I could fit with the limited space consoles have.
Ok time to get up, eat breakfast and... WHAT? One hour Lady of Scrolls video! There go my plans.
Personally I'd love to be a Mage in The Elder Scrolls universe
That'll be much better than being a mage in dragon age.
@@Plight_ why is that?
@@wiibrockster Mages in Dragon Age are oppressed by Templars or are hounded by Demons in the fade but it is still liveable, what's not liveable however is being a mage or psyker in Warhammer 40k lmfao
@@bakedgoods7116 That is true. Being a Pysker would be awful
Idk man, chances of fucking something up and dying or getting a fate worse than death are high. That said, it would be pretty cool, yes.
Holy fuck, we out here making full length movies now lmao
Lady of scrolls is a blessing for elder scrolls community.
The one dislike is from a Thalmor agent.
the way you integrate changes made for game play like different schools of magic in each game and certain spells only appearing in specific games into the lore in really cool.
A topic that seems straightforward at first sight but keeps expanding when you delve into it :)
I know this video is pretty old, but I thought I'd just note here that it's not a mystery why Magnus abandoned the project of Mundus.
Mundus was a trap orchestrated by Lorkhan. When Magnus figured this out he immediately fled the trap and his followers, trusting his judgment, fled with him. But the Aedra were already too well stuck into the fabric of Mundus.
Edit: the Ayleads didn't invent Alteration to fight them, it was a consequence of how they viewed and practiced magic, which was (to summarize) that all there was only one school of magic, and it granted control over all existence if the caster is skilled enough.
Can we both agree that’s overpowered as fuck??!🤣
Just got in after a long car journey. First thing I’m going to do is make tea site down and watch this.
Lol
That sounds relaxing
An hour long video on one of the first questions I asked, "Where did magic come from in this game?"... Thank you. 👏🤝
The way Severus Snape describes Alchemy is perfect for this as well. I think the quote was "bewitch the Mind, ensnare the senses, bottle fame or Brew Glory."
I'm so happy to see that TES has such a huge lore and fanbase God I love this series
god i love how you put the credits of all the images in the top left corner, it really helps to track down sources for more info, and also discover new artists 😭
Art! Content! Amazing presentation!
Always perfect.
*sees its over a hour long*
Ill need to watch this in bits, as much as i just want to binge, i need to make sure i absorb and enjoy.
Can't be the only lad listening to this just to relax a bit?
I would love to hear your voice be a main character in an Elder Scrolls game. Thank you for this fantastic in-depth video
Someone needs to make a mod and get her to voice all the shouts and the fighting/death noises
@@FunkBastid fighting/death noises 😳
Damn girl, you’re absolutely killin it!!!
You sound like a bosmer woman sure you must have heard that before =p. But seriously the work you had to put into this in getting the art, crediting the many artists, editing it all in and likely writing a script. Plus you just sound genuinely interested in the things you're talking about. This is the best of your work so far and i think you should be proud of yourself for the result.
Jesus Christ lady this is one of the best lore videos I’ve seen not only on TES. Big congrats!!
thanks i just recently got into the series i just finished skyrim and i'm currently playing through morrowind so i'm watching almost every lore video that i can
Say goodbye to hours and hours and hours of your life!! Lol. Time well waisted though. Nothing in the gaming world beats elder scrolls lore imo! :)
I've been bingeing your videos so I'm super happy to see a new upload. Your channel has my favourite Elder Scrolls lore videos around so keep up your awesome work
Props to you for all the effort that goes into this, including the in-video citations for the photos!
I'm so glad I found this channel when just searching for ES lore videos on a whim. You have a voice made for long listening to!
What a brilliant, comprehensive video on Elder Scrolls magic. Thank you for making all the effort and sharing this with us.
This was literally the only video I could find on the lore of magic, and you managed to use every minute of this video to educate me on exactly what I wanted to know
Good work my friend!
Excellent and very thorough video. I was quite intrigued by your musical selections, which managed to maintain a light sense of mystery throughout most of the video. I wanted to especially thank you for taking the time to provide credit to each of the image sources - this shows a deep level of respect for others’ work that not all creators share. Keep up the great work.
I love these long, in-depth videos. Keep up the hard work, it's paying off!
I love your work. In depth examinations, beautifully articulated, all in your enchanting, elegant, and melodic voice. I am absolutely enthralled and love it. Thank you, liked, subbed, and bell rung.
This is quite possibly my new favorite lore video from anyone and for any franchise. Great job, keep it up!
I found your channel about a week ago and I am honestly so very impressed. Thank you for all the hard work and great content. I love listening to your channel while playing eso
Just stumbled across this in my suggestions. Instant subscription! Can't wait to see this channel grow
Wow! I love your dedication to the making of this video and all the artwork you've collected is so fire. Definitely watched the whole thing and never felt overinformed. You're killing it! Happy 1 year to your channel!
I love these videos. Elder Scrolls lore is some of my favourite lore, and your videos are interesting, and very easy to listen to. You describe stuff in a way that my mind doesn't get confused trying to picture it, and I think that's something I don't find often (which makes me sound like I'm calling myself dumb. lol). Thank you for the videos.
Also- for crediting the artists, I love things popping up and thinking "OH! That looks familiar!" and instead of having to frantically search far and wide, I can just say "OH! Peter Mohrbacher!"
I love your work for gathering some lore on a subject, and I also love your voice which is beautiful, not to mention the effort made for your videos, in conclusion, I love this channel!
Love your lore channel. Looking forward to another collaboration between you, and Imperial Knowledge.
Just love all your videos.
Each video shows how much research, care and hard work is taken into account.
Well done!
I was waiting for the Meridia video but won’t mind an hour of Magic Lore while I wait. Excellent!
Wow this might be your most expansive work yet. Excellent effort
THANK YOU!!! This is just what I need after the terrible day I have had!
Tarlo The Boar aw! I’m glad to hear I have brightened your day friend!
@@ladyofscrolls4598 Your uploads always manage to make my days better
@Internet Deathclaw Yes. Thanks for asking though 😃
I like how your videos have this dreamy, enchanting quality. Great for listening before bed
You are my favorite elder scrolls youtuber just due to all the beautiful pics and the in depth more old-school-rpg way you explain stuff.
Keep making stuff, you are amazing!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words, and it definitely helps me continue doing what I love!
Oooh, so interesting, I'll have to continue watching this after I'm done with school today. The art looks awesome, and you sound like you are really interested in this. Thanks for making this.
You're choice of sound and images are unmatched
Three blessings to you muthsera. Really a quality work, hopefully you'll continue.
An HOUR of LoS? What an...enchanting...surprise 💜
OMG I'm addicted to your videos! I also love how you even explain Bethesda's shortcomings in a lore-friendly way!
shortcomings is a strong word even though magic is shit in skyrim
but the did change the system on purpose to try to make it simpler unfortunately it didnt really work
I can only imagine how much effort this took, well done!
Quality job, thank you for all the hard work on your videos!
Just wanted to say thanks for all the content. Ur voice is very soothing and perfect for these vids. 👍
Your thorough work is magnificent. Thank you and keep up the beautiful work
Your videos are so calming to me, I always listen while napping or sleeping ^_^
UHHHM SHADOW MAGIC!?!? That...is the most RADICAL THING WOAH!!
By the nines I’m so happy ❤️👍
By the Eight! Talos is but a man!
Rockstar lies!!!!!!!!!
it's amazing how in depth you go on a subject lots of us scrolls fans just take for granted. also Arcanum and apocalypse are great magic mods that expand on this.
You're back! Awesome! Keep em coming.
I absolutely love your lore videos...
You're so good I Cannot put your videos on while I'm doing other things. I get so enthralled by what I'm hearing that I end up not sewing a stitch for hours....... Thank you. 😁
One of my favorite topics in elder scrolls, love the full look at all aspects covered
Really glad to see your channel grow
Another thorough and well put video. Thanks for the hard work.
*SAAEE, how would you like to advance the art of magic?*
*MAJIK?* :D
MAJIK?
Can i get uhhh...
Two ways...
@Dacod Leslie
Such blind jingoism and appalling servility; you are widely misinformed. The Thalmor are
nothing short of genocidal maniacs. You Altmer from
The Isles, condemn Man for just being. I suspect your Thalmor is a secret cult of survived Ayleids who utilized the political strife oh the Sommerset Isles to radically seize your elitist culture and propel it into the realm of pure evil.
Talos worship is not only valid, and celebrated throughout the Empire and provinces of men alike, but entirely obligatory. Isn’t it clear that we Imperials are the ultimate chosen ones, blessed with the full grace of the NINE Divine? It seems to me your peoples’ immense, misplaced hatred of us stems partly from mere, pitiful jealousy.
One of the biggest blunders of the Alessian Empire is they never finished their task of completely eliminating the Ayleid demons from the world of Nirn.
If you were a true historian of Tamriel, and not a propaganda-spouting scamp, you’d know that all of the biggest crimes and injustices committed on the free and Aedra-blessed peoples of Tamriel, particularly Cyrodiil, were enacted by none other than Altmer blasphemers.
Excellent video. Gotta say I wish another TES game would involve Shadow Magic... and a main entry this time, not some spin-off side project.
Your videos are really relaxing to watch and so informative about scrolls lore.
This was the best breakdown if Skyrim Magic I've yet heard. Thanks. ❤️
ooooh I’m getting comfy for this one!! ♥️♥️♥️
i just found your content after starting my 100th play thru. wish i knew about you years ago, your channel adds so much to the game
She only gets the lore from the same place you could, by reading the books in the game. It's always amazes how meany people on youtube criticise the game for not being a real RPG (not saying you do) but don't don't read the books in the game which are the best part of the game. This game series has the best lore in a video game role playing full stop and the lore only gets better with each game.
I love that you don't spend the first ten percent of your videos introducing yourself and telling us what you'll be talking about today then telling us about your sponsor and your patron, blah blah blah. It's really refreshing to just click on a thumbnail and get right into what I actually wanna see. ❤
Great video!! I'm always listening to your vids while drawing TES Art or working on a TES Pen and Paper. Great Vids, Great Voice, Great Content! :D
I absolutely must know where you get this amazing art work from. It’s always so highly detailed, and simply timeless and magical looking!
i dont want to come off as creepy , but you have very nice and calming voice. Actually is pleasent to listen.
( and is very easy to listen during daily choires )
I'm super excited to see what The Elder Scrolls VI will bring to its magic system!
Oh wow I love your videos! I really enjoyed the Bosmer video. Could you please do one on the Altmer? They're my favorite race and I like how in depth you go in your videos.
Also I'm really enjoying these longer videos they're so great!
of course! thanks so much! I will definitely add the Altmer to the list, thanks so much for your request!
I can't imagine how hard it should be to create a video like that, congratulations :)
Gorgeous video as always 🍀
your channel and content are amazing, good work!
Great video, glad I stumbled across your channel.
Thank you for this detailed lore vid. Been looking for something like this for Ages. Gained a sub
Great video, thanks for putting it together.
My absolute favorite Depiction of Magic, I prefer Magic as a Skill that can be learned and used by anyone as opposed to it being a Genetic thing.
Lady...wow just wow!! Keep up the fantastic work!
Wow this is a top tier lore video. Seriously i had no interest in magic (never have I’m more into post apocalyptic/ zombie genre) previously, but I can’t help but be interested in it now. And so far this hasn’t even broke 5,000 views (talk about under rated.)
Magic is all around us. It penetrates us. Binds us together.
And yet we don't know how to use it...plus, because of religious propaganda and brainwashing, we fear it.
This is some top notch content. Kudos!
Beautiful as always!
This was so fun to watch, awesome. thank you
This took the Lore to a whole new lvl good stuff!
Very informative and entertaining! Keep making videos!💪💖
Nice, Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
