Let's find out.

You've always heard they are "holes in the night sky to Aetherius", though these definitely seem more ball-like than hole-like. And while it sounds good in theory, vigorously groping the ball with your magicka-squiggle apparently doesn't siphon power out of it.

You try out your teleportation idea from earlier, imagining a tunnel along the magicka strand and yourself moving along it. You imagine as hard as you can, but nothing seems to happen. Either teleportation is more complicated than you assumed, or some subconscious part of you doesn't want to teleport up into the sky. Another minute has passed. Sigrid is still talking, for now.

Aaaaand that looks like where you started. You must have gotten turned around somewhere. That, or space loops at the edges. You're pretty sure at least another minute has passed, maybe two. You're losing track.

You have to reach out to the spirits or the daedra and convince them that being here is better than being where they currently are, that protecting you is a worthwhile commitment.

You'd like to foster some relations! That was the whole idea. The issue is that there's just nothing out here. While it's surprisingly easy to reach your little magic-line up into the sky, all you've found are scattered balls of light. Maybe otherworldly forces just really don't want to help you. Or, maybe beckoning help from otherworldly forces is just completely outside the abilities of a stupid country bumpkin who started magic two days ago. Like, it wouldn't exactly be the first time you've grossly overestimated your capabilities. It wouldn't be the first time in the last five minutes, what with your plan to magically teleport out of here.
