bethesda knows its players

[@Evanski]

-It probably was more in depth teaching the player about wards and how your magic gets blocked but if the npc screwed up and you killed them well OOPS- But honestly thats just a guess The college had a lot cut for it, thats why most of the city is missing, no not because lore because of time Skyrim was rushed to reach its release date

[@fugyfruit]

Well the college does get attacked by dragons quite a bit so maybe if one of them dies in a dragon attack the quest will just skip forward

[@Evanski]

So i looked into it more and found old developer messages (like the messages you get for your character in the top left, but they would be messages for whats meant to happen before they programed it Like before the dragon priest fight they have a message that pops up saying dragon priest fight here for now pick up the staff off the ground, these are disabled and unused by default, someone left them in apparently) tolfdir was always ment to throw a spell at you and as far as i know you never throw spells at some npc How ever if one of the actors dies it fails to quest So tolfdir skips it So Bethesda just programmed it that way Also all the npcs in the ward quest have speaking lines and quest markers (where to stand and walk to) that would soft lock the scene So its more or less a failure state so the game can continue even if your a random npc killer Or if the npcs some how died before the lesson quest (unlikely as they never leave that room until after the quest and first spawn in that room)

You literally need to use basic magic -twice- *EDIT: 5 times!* the entire questline (The Ward at the beginning, and the casted spell in the first dungeon, *EDIT: frost spell on the crystal, the flames spell and the frost spell in labrinthian,* and I don't consider pointing a magic stick "skill in magic"). I always play the same character (Same name, scrawny young orange Khajiit, same build)(Yes I understand how stupid that is). Mostly Melee, some archery, and a little teeny bit of restoration magic (heal and healing hands). And they're just like "Bang, Archmage" despite the fact that no one with any actual magic skill (or brainpower) would call me a "mage" I now play with "Immersive College of Winterhold," which makes lots of improvements (mostly architectural), one of which is telling Tolfdir to become archmage instead, because FLIPPING DUH. "I'm a wott?" "I'm not a wizard, -Hagrid- *Tolfdir,* I'm just -Harry- *hairy"* are exactly my thoughts.

Taking the atronach stone causes the staff of Magnus to recharge your magicka instead of draining it, due to the stone giving you a 50% absorption rating. Because the staff is a constant attack, it has a 50% chance every second it's used on you, making the staff useless against your mage or non-mage dragonborn.

Honestly, a Nord that vehemently chooses not to learn magic himself but respects it and the practice of it enough to act as a sort of "warrior leader" of the college sounds kinda neat.

[@Ranylyn]

Considering how the Nords of Skyrim feel about magic, I feel that would go a long way towards improving the College's relations with the rest of the province. A learned warrior who understands magic, one trusted by the people, keeping an eye on the college to make sure that things are above board would do a lot to putting peoples' hearts and minds at ease. Furthermore, if they're well-known enough, they could even dispatch the Arch"mage" and students on things like attacking bandit camps to give the students live experience in the field while also ensuring they have a veteran hero on hand to prevent things from getting too hairy.
