#the eye of magnus

I have no excuse. I just think I can draw this, and I draw this.

Onmund, after Ancano takes the Eye of Magnus and tries to blow up the College: We're dead! We're dead! We survived but we're dead!

"The differences between you and the Master Wizard," seethed Faralda, nostrils flickering with flame, "are so - incalculable, insurmountable - the very first, that you would ask - that you would dare! - such, such - disrespect, familiarity-!"

"I should say we are different, in some regard," said the Eye of Magnus mildly, in that wretched cadence, as calm and wry as Mirabelle at her best. Those dark eyes sparkled in a beloved face, glitters of potent radiant magicka glinting off black eyelashes like fallen snow. "Given that Mirabelle Ervine is a smear of ash across yonder hall, and yet, here I stand. But I do know you, enough to claim, yes, familiarity. I remember you. I remember - the state of things between us, such as they are."

"Such as they were," Faralda corrected in a voice of bitter stone.

The Eye's terrible grave mask softened. "Is it truly such a loss?" it wondered. "I am alive, and greater than ever for having known myself, I will live - have lived! - a thousand lifetimes in the moment of my making and my death. The pain - and there was pain, terrible pain, I am not too proud to say - but it is nothing, now. I am more than I was, but I was - once, yes - this woman you love."

Faralda's shoulders slumped inward, careworn boughs creaking under winterweight. "If that were true," said she, all granite-glacier grind, "you would not follow at my heels, you would not hound me, with questions, with - with your invitations, of all things. You would not ask me why I grieve."

"Then I am sorry," said the Eye, sanguine, "not that I love you now, but that I - when I was only one - have loved you less."

Flushing up pale and ill, Faralda shuddered away. "I loathe you. I wish you had never returned."

The Eye cocked its head, dislodging its ash-down layer of skin-tingling arcane dust. Mirabelle's wry little coil of a smile curled its unforgivable lips. "Ah, but then where would we be? You might have had to hold the vote to pass the staff to poor Tolfdir, after all."

Ancano pondering the orb.

Ancano, on seeing the Eye of Magnus for the first time: I don’t understand this power. But I will.
