Archmage's Authority

Archmage's Authority is a Perk, or permanent ability, in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It is obtained upon completion of the College of Winterhold quest The Eye of Magnus. The perk gives the Dragonborn better prices with members of the College (50% better with Enthir and 10% better with all others). While it is not seen physically anywhere in the game, it is mentioned in the Prima Official Game Guide in a list of quest-related abilities with the following side-note:


 * "Most special abilities are offered as rewards for quests, or for performing specific actions. They typically appear in your Active Effects list. Note that some are presented explicitly (with dialogue and/or on-screen text), while others may not be. A few are not visible to you at all, so learn when you can obtain them, and how long they last."
