Uuuh I dont know about any "magical barriers", but I assume there arent any walls in skyrim because there in the ocean.i mean its not like the city just started slipping into the ocean..the entire cliff it winterhold was on sunk into the ocean.notice how steep the edge of the cliff is? I think that side if the mountain broke off and then sunk.but that would be highly unlikely if the college of winterhold was not involved.
