The way I was going about it is pretty much something along those lines of a Daedra or Elven origin. Nothing technology driven, but something more of a similar design to TRON. I mean, I've seen that sort of light-up scheme in Shivering Isles, but that was all Daedric. Elven areas in Skyrim don't really light up that way, but you never know - a powered race of elves vs daedra-insfused dark elves would help this concept work....but that's later on(and over my head at this point). I also recall Dragon Age II having similar armor that lit up similar to the tron armors - including the "Sir Isaac of Clarke" DLC costume. I know Dragon Age mythology doesn't match TES' by any means, but it's just an basic idea of the inner workings. The weapons would work, I think, as a sort of "magical" weapon, similar to the enchantment weapons that glow upon use...except this glow stays on and cycles throughout it. I don't mean to break immersion, just add to it - the Dragon language, for example, lights up in a similar light pattern upon learning a word. Something like this is what I'm trying to get at. I'm not really good at reskinning and manipulating lighting, so I put this up for discussion to see what options are out there. I forogt about the blades' armor! That'd work, and be less bulky than the legendary armors I was alluding to. It'd still be awesome to see a neon-lit Daedric or Dragon armor, though.
