Decent night. At least this college has comfy beds, though a room with a DOOR wouldn't hurt. Mmm, venison stew. NOM.
Head out to see what's going on, and mention the books to Tolfdir. He seems somewhat distracted by the big orb that was moved to the main hall though. Called it the 'Eye of Magnus'. Where do they get these names...
While Tolfdir was talking, this super arrogant elf guy, Ancano, came looking for me, spazzing out and ordering me to follow him, something about some Psijic Order monk wanting to talk to me. Some of these mages are so high strung.
When I started talking to the monk, he did some sort of time freeze trick, so only I could hear him. He talked mostly about the Eye of Magnus, saying the world was not ready for such power, and I should seek out the Augur of Dunlain to assist me, whatever that was. Ancano was rather suspicious when the monk left after that, since he and the archmage didn't even realize the conversation had happened. He makes me rather suspicious, and that outfit he wears is really familiar for some reason...
I decided to talk to Tolfdir about the Augur, he seemed fairly familiar with the subject. Said he/it was in the Midden, under the college. Went down there... cold! The Augur is just this floating talking ball of sparkles though...
Apparently this isn't the first time people have sought the Eye 'to their ruin', the Augur said. At this point, apparently, I can only hope to contain the aftermath of what happens, and that I should find the Staff of Magnus, since it's the only way you can, and I quote "Use the eye without being blinded", or something. Wierd.
After finding my way back up, I talked to various people until I found someone who had a lead on the staff. More stupid ruins. And a dragon in the college courtyard! Ass.
Another dragon on the way to the ruin! Gods this is tiring.
Ruin full of mechanical spiders and wierd things. Great. Finally get all the way in, there's some mage who's lucky I looted his buddies corpse and took that focusing crystal. There's some great big machine here that focuses starlight, apparently? They want to use it for something, with this crystal, and in exchange he'll supposeably help me.
Get the crystal in the machine, and I have to either heat it or cool it to get it going properly. Once it's going the way I want it to, there's buttons that shift big mirrors around on the ceiling until they're in the right place, then it projects a map of Skyrim on the wall. Mage guy starts ranting about sabotage or something. Gods I hope I don't end up this high strung from learning more magic. He says it should be showing dots for places with strong magic, but two spots are making too much interferance. One is the college, which must be the stupid Eye, and the other is some other thrice-damned ruin that probably has the staff. Leaving annoying mage to his ranting. Going to find somewhere to sleep, soon, I hope. It's cold in here.
