Oculory

 is a massive machine, created from leftover Dwemer technology in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Hidden away within the ruins of Mzulft, an organization of mages known as The Synod experiment with the device designed to collect starlight and transmit it into energy. According to Paratus Decimius, the Orrery at the Arcane University inspired the design for the Oculory; however, instead of portraying a map of the stars, the Oculory was designed to portray all of Tamriel, to help The Synod locate magical relics of interest.

The Oculory is susceptible to Frost Damage and Fire Damage. The Spell Tomes of Frostbite and Firebolt on the table beside its control mechanisms exists for the purpose of moving its lenses and thus redirecting its light beams. Only one spell, cast by one hand, is needed to move the beams. However, you do need to alternate between a ranged Frost spell and a ranged Fire spell. If you have dual-wield on Destruction spells, you can cast both simultaneously and not have to worry about alternating.

Once the light beams on the Dwemer Apparatus align with the lenses hung on the rotating ceiling, it displays a map of Tamriel on a wall of rock. Without the Focusing Crystal, the device remains inactive.
