stebbinsd Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I actually have a theory - one I feel is backed by a respectible amount of evidence - as to exactly what the Eye of Magnus is, what its original function was, and how it ended up in Saarthal.I made a video expressing my thoughts: So what do you guys think?

chanchan05 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 It's the Tamrielic version of the Farnsworth Parabox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 It's the Whiterun Nord Cover Band version of "Eye of the Tiger" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saurusmaximus Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 This is an interesting theory, It certainly seems to be a more satisfying explanation than MK's "Kimmune" nonsense. I would point out however (and you touched on this in your video) that we don't know for certain that the Eye actually has anything to do with Magnus himself -- the name "Eye of Magnus" seems to be the name the characters gave it, for lack of a better title. Yes, the Staff of Magnus can be used to control the Eye, but that is what the Staff was created to do; control magic, and it's been shown doing that in several other instances. So the link between the two is a bit tenuous. I'm not sold on the Dwemer making a version of the Eye in Mzark. Yes, it copies information onto a lexicon, but there is a device in Avanchenzel (spelling?) that does the same thing -- transcribe Elder Knowledge onto a metal cube. I think the device in Mzark is exactly what it is presented to be: a machine that makes reading an Elder Scroll safe for mortals, whereas the Eye of Magnus is something more than that.

nayakri Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I saw two theories about the Eye of Magnus, but I don't remember them well - I think one was stating that the Eye is actually another sun built but unfinished by Magnus, but it was very weird. I like your theory, though. It has a lot of references and it would be very interesting if Mzark would be mentioned in the future games, so we could learn if it's true or not. I hope it is - I like when game gets really complicated with its lore :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rethrain Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 After reading up on the theories of it a while back...I came to my own - and completely certain - conclusion...that it is the Macguffin of Magnus. An artifact of incredible power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Farnsworth Parabox is an item, and the name of an episode in Futurama where said item appeared. The Farnsworth Parabox is a box that contains the universe. Originally the box in Universe 1 contained the box for Universe A and vice versa. Through shenanigans, the gangs ended up with Universe 1 containing the box with itself inside. So Universe 1 is located in a box that itself is located in Universe 1 (same thing for Universe A). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted23099409User Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Eye of Magnus is Eye of Maguns As Heart of Lorkhan that came from the divines Eye of Magnus came from the Magnus Magnus, when he got out the Tamriel. He Made great hole, that calling 'Sun' And here, we need to think, 'Why did he got out from Tamriel?" and Who took the Eyes from him? In the Night of Tear, it says Snow Elves attacking Nords for Reason And writer believe Nords try to Protecting it. But Nords all wiped out. Only Ysgramer Survive. but this is not important Why Snow Elves Attacking the Nords for Eye of Magnus. And If really Snow Elves, the Falmers are Attack them for it. Why it's still in Saathal? Eye of Divines Full of Magicka The Thalmor Using it, and no Magic works on him. It's from outside of Tamriel, belong the Divines. And Divines... Aedra and Daedra are made of... Pure Magicka... It's crystal of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
