Well I just thought of something I thought was pretty cool but I bet most of you guys already thought this much through. I'm not really familiar with the TES lore so you guys might have to help me out .
So I was thinking that TES 6 story would involve the Psijic Order, Eye Of Magnus, and the Aldmeri Dominion (Thalmor).
This is might be a bit far fetched but I was thinking that the Thalmor would possibly try to take control of the Eye of Magnus in order to grasp real power and trample over Tamriel.
Based off this, I believe that the Eye of Magnus has some relation to the Elders Scrolls and there may be a direct correlation to Mankar's statement that Nirn is nothing but another realm in Oblivion.So we have an Eye that shoots laser beams and a staff that drinks them; two inversions of 'normal' function. Now let's consider: the staff of Magnus is a Tower, Towers create a certain character of individual reality (in most cases, thereby reinforcing the Mundus' very existence), and Magnus jumped ship at the last moment deciding the project was a bad idea - so, integrating these three things, we can see that the staff acts as a Tower by imposing the desired reality of Magnus upon the Mundus, which is to say, unreality. It absorbs magicka because it is enforcing Magnus' attitude. You can call it Destruction of the Mundus, if you want to tie Magnus to Dagon.
What do you think so far?
