Well the Mnemoli of the Magna-Age are stated to collect the “songs” or “music” of Nirn to write the Elder Scrolls. But as far as Magnus, I think the theory that when he left Mundus so abruptly it destroyed him. The majority of his body became the endless magicka that mages use. However the holes that are the Sun and Stars also releases magicka to Nirn. My theory is that in Dawnguard if you block out the sun, Magic still works and is replenished. Maybe just game mechanics. But if the Sun is how magic comes into Nirn than blocking it, would stop magic right?

But doesn’t the Khajiit under a different name worship Magnus as the Cat’s Eye? But maybe the Eye of Magnus is the last part of him that can produce magicka. It would be godly and unique. It could have been made by the other Et’Ada to contain the last piece of himself. Maybe a plan to recreate Magnus by having a mage absorb so much power from the Eye with the Staff, to undo Nirn and restore the gods? After all Magnus did make the plans to make Nirn, Lorkhan simply have the idea.
