This alphabet is seen in the Master Illusion Texts in the College of Winterhold. It has connections to the Mages Guild, and some of the symbols in it resemble others used by the guild. There are only five known texts using this alphabet, and as of yet there is no known translation for any of them. However, as the symbols are given in font-form, rather than images, we can see which letter each character represents by using the Creation Kit. The name "Magic Script" is only seen in the Creation Kit, as no name for the alphabet is given within the games.

* The letters Q and X and the numbers are not seen in any of the books, but they can be seen by editing the books in the Creation Kit. There are no symbols for the other digits.

Shalidor's Insights

A page from Shalidor's Insights

The book Shalidor's Insights actually has some translatable words using the Magic Script. The block reads:

ALDUIN   A
VA RI A  O
NODICA  DE
AKATOSH  E
S  SUPERFI
C I  A L  
M E N T  E
PAREC ES E
COM O  SEU
COLEGA NOS

The passage is actually Portuguese: "Alduin é a variação Nórdica de Akatosh e só superficialmente parece-se com o seu colega nos", meaning "Alduin is the Nordic variation of Akatosh, and superficially resembles his counterpart in the [Nine Divines]", the same as the first somewhat-legible English paragraph on the same page and a sentence from Varieties of faith in the Empire.
