In skyrim, you can read magic tomes, but the magic tome never actually "opens up" when you read it like how a normal bok would. So what might be the contents? thoughts?
Also, what language do you think they are written in
magic tomes?

Re: magic tomes?
I think that the conjuration tomes and maybe some destruction tomes would be written in Daedric with lots of weird Daedric symbolism maybe?

Re: magic tomes?
I'd imagine it wouldn't contain any 'normal' writing as I doubt you can teach someone to cast spells via words. Maybe something similar to what you see on the elderscrolls?
I used to be an adventurer like you... then I got a real job... then I got made redundant... then I became an adventurer again... but now I just kill cats.

Re: magic tomes?
Frankly, if this modelled the real world, literacy would be nothing less than a practice of magic: the ability to pull meaning out of drawings.

Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.
Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.
