K.
- Collete Marance's Lecture; She describes non-healing uses for Restoration spells as a response to insulting notes suggesting Restoration isn't a valid school of magic, and ought to be left to the priests.
- Drevis Norelen's Lecture: He talks about Skyrim's Doomstones. They are somewhat different looking from other Doomstones. There is no pattern to their placement. There are no records of the Doomstones dating to the Merethic, despite common assumption they were made during that time.
- Faralda's Lecture: The Synod and the College of Whispers are investigating the College of Winterhold. Faralda remarks the College of Whispers prefers magic banned by the Synod, like Necromancy and Conjuration. The Synod wish to find supporters, and the College of Whispers wish to discover darker magical practices so they can prove the Synod are a political minority. The College of Winterhold remains neutral on the matter. She tells students that if they are contacted by a member of one of these two organisations, they should say nothing and merely refer them to the Master Wizard.
- Phinis Gestor's First Lecture : Phinis Gestor warns against practising Conjuration and Necromancy in public. Additionally, he informs about a prank on Drevis where several hundred apples were stuffed into his pillow.
- Phinis Gestor's Second Lecture: Phinis warns those borrowing texts from the Arcaneum not to damage the books, or if they do so to find a replacement copy, less they pay Urag's blood price. Additionally, he is looking for a student who turned invisible and caused some mischief in Winterhold.
- Phinis Gestor's Third Lecture: Phinis asks for information on some missing students. He reminds everyone the MIdden has been closed due to an "outbreak" of some sort. He asks to keep the college clean after cases of people spraining their ankles after accidentally stepping on soul gems.
- Phinis Gestor's Fourth Lecture: Phinis talks about several theories about the Eye of Magnus; namely that is actually part of Magnus, that it is a conduit to Aetherius, and that it contains the Aurbis within itself, and when you look at it you are actually outside existence.
- Urag's Lecture: Urag talks about Shalidor, and how he built Labyrinthian to hold Glamoril (Elvish for Secret of LIfe). He theorizes that Glamoril was the source of Shalidor's immense wisdom, as he was able to live multiple lifespans in a short matter of time. Shalidor had magical knowledge that surpasses even the modern era, and he was incredibly prolific, writing on a diverse array of subjects.
