I was about to thank you for the early chapter Imagine my horror at finding out it is already thursday night, friday really... Anyway, thanks for the chapter
I recommend checking the Ayleids as well. Their aetherial magic was, in part, to capture star light from aetherius with welkynd and varla stones made from meteors. Since it all connects to Aetherius in the end, the Ayleids and Dwemer may have both been after the same thing just in different ways. Ascending to Aetherius and becoming Gods, or getting closer to them perhaps. This is just a thought of mine, not from the wiki. But there was also an interesting mention there, that the Ayleids supposedly created the magic school of alteration and knew magical powers that allowed them to shape the landscape to their wishes.
Thank you for the chapter đ and keep up the great work your doing awesome đŻ Also would love to see more of Rictus magical projects, maybe making Van helsing werewolves/lycans, making wargs like lord of the rings for a ranger/hunting division in the restored? Idk just trying to think of cool stuff
In order not to break the balance, the Aetherium items were not so dominant, but I feel that it could happen that the created items could be enchanted and imbued with magic in an almost unlimited way. Example: When you create something you use your magic to give it a certain effect and depending on how much more magic you use, the stronger it is. A powerful archmage could create an extremely overpowered enchanted artifact for example Owo
make an AI inside the crown capable of retaining a large amount of information and casting buffs into the wearer, like resist frost, fire, magic, etc... The Aetherial Crown can also become something sentient like the Hat of selection from Harry Potter, put some strong shackles into the Crown and you just got a Jarvis or an EDI from mass effect, either way i always found it strange that no magical item in tes ever have some sort of solid consciousness, i mean, people use souls and in actual people souls to bound effects to objects and places, why none was ever sentient is beyond me, so, yeah, thats my idea... you can have the arch mage analyze the crown later to make some lesser version of it later.
