[@samkleinke]

“YOU THINK I WOULDN’T PROTECT MYSELF?! YOU THINK I WOULDNT TAKE PRECAUTIONS?!”

[@OtterInsanity]

One cool thing I want to add about Divayth Fyr is that his Daedric Artifacts are just sitting in his house. There is no quest or hoops you have to jump through to get them. He just says if you can open a master lock and not die to explosive traps in them you can keep them. Meaning he cares so little about them that he will let the first person who can unlock the chests keep them.

[@troIIdier]

It's not even that he doesn't care about the artifacts, it's that he's set them up in a little game with the artifacts as prizes. The catch is you have to get past the nasty security of a bored millenia-old wizard, plus the risk of corprus. There's a reason he still has those artifacts, after all. Nerevarine is just built different.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

In a way he acts just like any player character. You collect all these legendary artifacts, just to stash them in a chest in your house. And we have to admit, if we could lock chests and construct traps, we would.

[@alaricpalaiologos665]

Sotha Sil isn't using his own power and without Kagrenac he wouldn't have access to Lorkhan's power

[@MuttonTheDragon]

I disagree about Ahzidal not creating anything new. The Ring of Arcana gives its wearer two entirely unique spells: Ignite and Freeze. While they are both apprentice level spells, this, to me, indicates he may have more spells, including the entirely unique and unlearnable enchantments he has on his relics. A chance to paralyze attackers, waterwalking without being a vampire or needing a potion, rigging your raised undead to explode, and adapting how runes/wards work all show that he didn’t just learn magic that existed, he knew how to change it to his needs, showing levels of creativity beyond what the Dragonborn is capable of.

[@DrYankeeDoodle]

Fun fact: in TESO Fyr refers himself as "mage possessing NEARLY god powers", and in Morrowind his character has all the stats of 99-98/100 :D

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

At least he is humble enough about himself and doesn't overemphasize. He knows his limitations. And what even is a god. Are the daedric princes gods? They might not've created the world, but are in the same "tier" in the cosmic hierachy as those who did. And a mortal can assume their position when acting the part. The tribunal are worshipped as gods, but their power isn't unlimited. Dagoth Ur refers to himself as a god, but is defeated. And the Septim bloodline is strong enough to defeat Molag Bal. So Tyr might as well be one step away from being a god.

[@advocatusdiaboli9971]

I think it is impossible to make out a single greatest mage. You could look at the greatest mage in specific fields though. For example, I thin sotha sil is the greatest enchanter. Kagrenac crossed my mind first, but he only created the tools to manipulate the heart of Lorkhan. Sotha Sil created basically a second heart to power his clockwork city. Mannimarco is the greatest necromancer, obviously. Fyr the greatest Daedrologist and likely summoner. Also Fyr might be the most experience researcher of magic, given his very diverse achievements. Though maybe healing corupus and creating clones fall in a similar category, so maybe he is the greatest alchimist? Shalidor, I do not really know. Since he defeated an entire dwemer clan by himself, he seems to be very adapt at destruction magic. But hard to tell. Ahzidal I would call the greatest progidy mage in tamriel history. And the most versatile, maybe even more than fyr. Mostly because he studied basicly every school of magic of his time in the lifespan of a nord. Though, I assume this makes him more of a master of all trates, greatest of none. Neloth, while of course a powerful one, I do not see him overshadow any of the above.

It only seems in the recent centuries that Nords started to actively shun and fear magic. At least two of some of the arguably greatest mages in history were Nords. The Clever Men, who had roots in Atmora and worshipped Jhunal (Nordic version of Julianos), as well as the Dragon Priests were notoriously powerful magic-users. To this day no decent Jarl of high standing would go without a Court Wizard at his disposal or turn their nose up at enchanted armor and weapons provided by the mages of Winterhold. The College of Winterhold is said to be one of the greatest institutions of magical learning for millennia. It is unfortunate that Bethesda really did not do it justice with its implementation and quest lines. It would have been nice to see Winterhold in its prime. From the description in _The Waking World,_ Winterhold was quite magestic and wondrous to behold before the Great Collapse. I'm having some good fun playing as a Nord war wizard currently; it's the best of Conan the Barbarian and Gandalf mixed together.

It’ll be months before I get to it, knowing me. LOL I had to start over with a new character bc I locked myself out of too many challenges, but I still adopted sofie!! Not Lucia, tho. What a brat. But I’m still a Breton, I just gave her light hair like mine, and made her less angry looking, so instead of Lucia (My original character name, named after the saint. As I’m tore her own eyes out), I am now Erleichda. Cause she’s the same character but less confused and stressed and with lighter hair…somebody will eventually get that.

How are the guards misogynistic? Racist, yeah absolutely, but I've never heard them say or seen them do anything misogynistic.

[@Reallytallsocks]

Idk. My character in Morrowind made a spell that would soul trap, burn, paralyze, and master lock an entire town simultaneously.

The Nerevarine is the most powerful image in Tamriel history if you let them be.

[@sivaphoenix6453]

Miraak because he literally split solstheim from the mainland merely with a swipe of his hand it's in one of the books in Skyrim dragonborn DLC

[@jamsheedsneed6257]

I, James Michael Dulap of Hartford, Connecticut, am the greatest mage in all of Elder Scrolls.

No match for my level 4 morrowind character that just drank six thousand potions of fortify intelligence

[@speedstriker]

I love how both Divayth fyr and Neloth are basically player characters.

[@ExpletoryPenguin]

Not even a mention of Zurin Arctus? Dude created the Mantella and then boomed the Brass God itself. Granted, he didn't come out of the encounter unscathed. I wouldn't say he's the strongest mage, but I thought he would at least make the list

[@artisticbang9111]

The way you present Neloth by stabbing people repeatedly is not lore accurate 😅 he's proud as a staff user

[@masterneloth]

True lol but getting magic killcams was super time consuming to do

[@artisticbang9111]

You could record him while channeling heavy level spells or cast ash guardian summons

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Mannimarco in Daggerfall is completely overpowered. Mannimarco in Oblivion is a joke.

[@dannymillerdejesus7562]

My skyrim charater he's op wizard

[@dannymillerdejesus7562]

1000 magika

[@DevinDTV]

fyr didn't create demigods. that would be dagoth ur. fyr just found a way to allow them to live normal lives

[@Insanity_Crow]

Spoilers ahead for Oblivion....I guess the player character is out of the question but like, especially in Oblivion if you played as a mage there's an argument to be made that The Hero of Kvatch is one of the most powerful mages. First of all, if you play through the mages guild quests you kill Manimarco. You indirectly defeat Mehrunes Dagon, and survive numerous ASSULTS on his planes of Oblivion, almost single handedly win the battle of Bruma. You DO defeat Jyggalag and become the new prince of madness.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Neloth using heartstones to replace someones heart to give them power isn't too different form what the Forsworn do. So he didn't really create the technique, he just perfected it.

[@Haggysack2k8]

There is a power that exists, similar to air or sunshine. It is an energy that flows through both, heaven and earth and can be manipulated by individuals, who posess the knowledge to do so. This energy is called "Farting" *Oblivion Theme intensifies* The Dragonborn himself is the most well-known manipulator of this so called "Farting", in which he can even use this ability to fart from his very mouth, making people temporarily faint in disgust infront of him and even though the Nords of Skyrim wish to bury this truth under fairy tails, such as the Dragonborn not farting, but shouting at his enemies, this is by far the truest of truths about the Dragonborn and everyone that can manipulate farts.

[@dartimes6048]

It’s not Mannimarco. It’s actually the Mage guardian Constellation. All mages get their wisdom and ability to control Atronachs from the Mage Guardian constellation. Before you say “It’s not an actual person.”: They can manifest on Tamriel or Nirn if required. The Mage, Warrior, and Thief guardian constellations protects the smaller constellations. The smaller constellations exist of: The Lady, The Lord, The Tower, The Shadow, The Lover, The Steed, The Atronach, The Ritual, and The Apprentice. The Guardian Constellations exist to protect them from The Serpent Constellation from consuming the lesser constellations. All of the constellations get consumed spells doom for Tamriel.

[@kingtoad2234]

Always loved divayth

[@elijah.espino]

What about Sotha Sil and Mankar Camoran?

[@glerbus9561]

Talks about mages, has all the gameplay use melee weapons.

[@masterneloth]

Damn right

[@newname4941]

Really funny how Nords are so superstitious of Magic, yet they brought fourth so many powerful mages. Let's not forget the Dragon Priests as well. It is quite telling though, that 2 of your mages are from Skyrim and 2 more are fromm Morrowind... We didn't know about Ahzidal for example before TES V, so there might be many more powerful mages we haven't heard of.

[@UserNameWasCensored]

I love the dramatic voice but... "numerous amounts"???😣
