The Nords see magic as something only the weak and spineless practice but Shalindor, one of the greatest mages of all time, was a Nord and even Tsun, the Nordic god of trials against adversity, holds respect for magic. If you tell him you are the Archmage of the College of Winterhold he will say "Well met, mage of Skyrim. The Nords may have forgotten their forefathers' respect for the clever craft, but your comrades throng this hall. Here in Shor's house we honor it still."

BTW Is Shalindor the man wearing Archmage's robes in the Hall of Valor?
