It's based on Rainbows song "Stargazer", I'm sure you did notice that other than the Mage's obsession with stars and astronomy there is no mention of the subject, so the name should be weird. Thats first, but yeah, it is really refferencing the tower of Babel in a way.

Also, I did not want them simply to be angry savages who cannibalised the dying mage and corpses, thus I made it so that consuming a part of a mage transfers his magical abilities to the person who consumed said part, in this story - magic is in a way a biological phenomenon.

Also I wanted to make sure the pratagonist is fucked, but not completely - he is figuritively homeless forever, however even if he condemns himself to blindness him possessing magic makes him better than Oedisius was
