While the Eye of Magnus is connected to Magnus, I don't think it's Literally connected to him. And Daedric Princes more powerful than Divines? Ridiculous. Yes they are powerful, but that doesn't mean they have even more power than than the Divines. The Divines are so powerful, we only see them as planets when we look up into the night sky, our puny mortal minds trying to comprehend what we are seeing. We can fully percieve what a Daedric Prince looks like, like when Mehrunes Dagon came onto the mortal plane of Nirn. We didn't see him as a planet. That would just look silly.

Just because the are incapacitated doesn't mean their power is completly used up. You said it yourself. The Eye of Magnus is extrememly powerful, and if it is literally just an eyeball of a god, which it isn't, imagine what kind of power the whole thing has. Or how about the Red Mountain. Many speculate a power of Aedric origin started it, and that is pretty freaking huge, given that it almost destroyed Morrowind entirely. I have yet to see a Daedric Prince do that. Or how about create an entire world? Each Prince does have a realm in Oblivion, but they are a lot smaller in scale than compared to Nirn. Daedric Princes may be powerful, but the good ol divines are even more so. Akatosh was incapacitated and he managed to defeat Mehrunes Dagon through Martin Septim, In his Sleep!
