"The Shehai may be different than the traditional schools of magic but it is built on the same principles. The source of energy that flows through everything and everyone. They are made up of elemental structures, spiritual structures... and so on. They form the patterns that we perceive as fire or life. They are complex and the Shahai should be similar." Lysilde had of course never seen the Shahai in action. She based her conceptualization of the force solely on what she had read. And that was only one very old source. "A complexity that needs to be understood. Like mathematics. It is more about knowing the rules than it is about knowing all the answers." Mathematics incidentally was closely liked to magic but can be understand without an innate understanding of magic. "Some people on Nirn are born with a knowledge about these complexities. Bretons, Elves... But there are certain theories that purpose that even the races that are not known for their magical abilities are merely people that have abandoned, lost or forgotten theirs." The implication being that the Shehai and Ansei were the manifestation of this innate ability among Redguards or Yokudans as they would likely have been known as. "So think about Mathematics. Are you any good at it?"
