Quick WalkthroughEdit
- Speak with Tolfdir.
- Travel to location where the rupture is and defeat enemies in its vicinity.
- Return for your reward.
Detailed WalkthroughEdit
This quest is initiated from Tolfdir at the College of Winterhold after becoming Arch-Mage. When asked "Is there anything I should be aware of?" Tolfdir will respond that there is some sort of magical disturbance which seems to be related to the Eye of Magnus, and will provide a quest location.
Travel to the quest location given. The map marker will point you to any one of twenty-seven locations in Skyrim (there are three possible locations in each hold). Defeat the Magic Anomalies and return to Tolfdir for a leveled gold reward. However, if the rupture occurred in Winterhold, then you do not receive anything, as the College gets no thanks from the already unhappy citizens.

NotesEdit
- Although Tolfdir suggests that you bring the Staff of Magnus with you, it is not required to complete the mission.
- You may encounter Magic Anomalies in the wilderness without accepting the quest from Tolfdir. The Magic Anomalies will never disappear or change its location until you destroy them.
- One of the possible sites for a magical rupture to appear is located right next to Windstad Manor.HF
- Magic Anomalies scale with you and on higher levels will all have grand souls.
- This quest may be repeated as many times as you like by asking Tolfdir if there is anything you should be aware of.
BugsEdit
- The rupture may be randomly placed intersecting water, if this is the case then it cannot be completed as the rift does not properly show up and anomalies do not spawn.
The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 2.0.4, fixes this bug.
- If you come across the Magic Anomalies before speaking to Tolfdir then the quest cannot be completed.
- The Official Skyrim Patch, version 1.3, addresses this issue. The quest will automatically start at stage 20 upon defeating all Magic Anomalies. You can then return to Tolfdir for your reward and the quest will end normally.
- Sometimes Tolfdir does not offer the dialogue option "Is there anything I should be aware of?" to start the quest. The dialogue might appear after a few days. ?
- This can be fixed with the console command
setstage MGR30 0to make the dialogue appear.
Quest StagesEdit
| Aftershock (MGR30) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Stage | Finishes Quest | Journal Entry |
| 10 | There have been reports of some sort of magical anomaly in Skyrim. Tolfdir fears it is a side-effect of Ancano's meddling with the Eye of Magnus, and has asked that I look into it. He suggested I take the Staff of Magnus with me, just in case.
Objective 10: Close the Rupture

| 20 | I have found and shut down the magical anomaly Tolfdir was worried about. I should return to him and let him know it's been dealt with.
Objective 20: Return to Tolfdir

| 200 |  |
A magical anomaly was reported in Skyrim; it seems to have been connected to Ancano's meddling with the Eye of Magnus. I successfully shut it down before it could become a greater problem. |

Notes
- Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g.,
<Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game. - Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
- Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
- If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
- On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering
setstage MGR30 stage, wherestageis the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest usingresetquest MGR30.
