Of course there are many factors to consider but e know that in some communities under certain circumstances, an involuntary behavior developed by one person can go viral Think of so Hysteria or what happens when some bird flocks do some very unnatural but perfectly coordinated movements in the air that researchers can't explain In the end, it will spread from person to person until the entire community is infected
By that, if an idea can become an illness and the illness becomes an infection Think of this Frohout the communities of Tamriel, what else about our reality is just an Illusion?”
The Old Woman looked at Jon as if no sound other than his was in the world She pondered over it and tried to answer his question but wasn't really able to pinpoint a certain idea In the end, she gave up
”What is do you consider an Illusion?” She asked
”Hehe! You know, a Dunmer should answer this Question before any other race on Taers
”Then give me time to think” She said
”As you wish”
”What is that about anyway? How could you put together those ideas?” She asked
”I' a book” Jon replied
”A book?”
”Yes A book about the Magical Psychology The logical lies and the daring ideas about the ic and the world” Jon said
