Never thought of it like that. I just thought that if Magnus was the original source, than he didn’t become an Earthbone. As his power alters the world.

But my theory is a canon one. It’s just the one I like the most. However among Mages it’s more widely believed magicka comes from Aetherius. I just like the canon theory that Magnus himself became magicka the most. As if Magnus was still alive, wouldn’t he have with all his power and knowledge found someway to undo Nirn?

After all he made all the blueprints. So I thought maybe his Eye and Staff are tools left by the Magna-Ge to bring together a large enough amount of Magicka so he can reform and undo his work. Maybe that is also why the Psjic Order took it. They thought it could destroy the world. It would have been a better plot that the Eye is trying to see Nirn undone by Magnus’ last wish. Rather than simply a magic source turned into an unstable magic nuke.
