A side note so you know what she's talking about, her people followed what they called the Four Ways, a way of martial training and life philosophy that balanced them and allowed them to tap into the most primal of their power. An abbreviation: North=Power/Fighting/Dominance; South=Peace/Humility/Fear; East=Spirit/Nature/Others; West=Body/Health/Self. North and South are considered the major disciplines. West is considered a minot discipline of North and East is a minor discipline of South. They used this philosophy to interpret the meanings of the Thu'um (since we're sticking with Skyrim lore here) attributing words with disciplines and using those words to craft their power. That's how they manipulate their bodies, their fire abilities and their primal form, they call it 'poetry,' or its rough equivalent. Tirush is one of the last practitioners of the Four Ways, mostly out of necessity. If you're interested I can do a quick writeup explaining things in more detail.
