So here's an idea I got for the next DLC/Game.

So Magic changes, Magnus has some kind of conniption fit and changes how it works. (Great cover for the change of the magic system in the next game or DLC)

Now the Synod, A greybeard, the College of Whispers, Psijic Order, some Underground group of Necromancers and the College of Winterhold decide a pow wow is in order and the Arch-Mages of the respective organizations decide that bringing one or two assistants to the super secret neutral ground meeting place (New area for DLC) is all anyone needs. So if your the Arch Mage, then you pick a helper or two or the Arch Mage picks his second in command and you and the Augur of Dunlain tags along, this is also a cool chance to have all the major mages in the game (Court mages, and the like) in the same area (College courtyard, asking for answers).

Then instead of blaming eachother, being sensible men of magic they realize working together is best. Though squabbles happen. Eventually it's figured out that to 'fix' magic we will need to basically absorb Magnus. Leading us to a big boost in magical attributes or pouring his essence into a weapon, making it very OP.

Any thoughts?

Sounds like a bad joke. Not trying to be mean.

And what about the non-magical inclined? Dawnguard and Dragonborn both allow for whatever playstyle you want really. Your DLC idea would basically be limited only to mages, or mage hybrids.

Eayri sad! :'(

This is Skyrim! Homeland of the Nords! They have no use for some fancy magic!

C'mon MudCrab, ya gotta have a little imagination, heheh.
I mean it's not exactly mainstream but he's thinking about stuff...
There should be a Psijic Order / College of Winterhold DLC to expand the whole mage game, and the Thalmor could figure in there too.
Supposedly this Psijic guy Quaranir said he would be watching the Dragonborn, everwhere he went, everything he did. Remember?

Who the heck are the Synod again? LoL
Oh yeah - the rival Mage's Guild, right?
There's plenty of meat there for some DLC (or at least somebody's killer mod)...

You keep dreamin' big, Thumper - there's not enough idea-men these days, y'know?
And there's nothing like a new common enemy to bring old foes together, is there...
