WARNING: SPOILERS FOR THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES (S1-5) ARE BELOW! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!

“Moving, squirming along by the merest fractions of a millimeter afforded by his pressing prison, he claws and digs in what might have once been fingers.
The soft earth is always keen to slip away, but sometimes – just sometimes – the tips of those extremities find purchase, and he pulls himself a little bit, such a tiny bit, upwards.
[…]
And after hours, days, impossible to measure weeks, maybe he has moved a meter. Even more perhaps, and however bruised and broken his body may now be, he is closer to the sky, and nobody can take that away from him.

Until the rains begin to fall.
[…]
The ground softens. Shifts. And starts to slip and flow into a torrent of black mud.”
-The Archivist about the domain of The Buried, MAG 166, Case #: ########-6

So I may have fallen into the world of @rustyquilluk ‘s The Magnus Archives a bit. I finished the show today and immediately had the urge to draw each of the domains and their objects, starting with The Buried.

The symbols and items shown:

The Coffin: a gateway to The Buried, formerly bound to Breekon and Hope
DIG: a Leitner that compulses the reader to dig with the only words in the book being DIG
The Box: traps the individual who touches it inside, getting tighter around the victim each time they feel hope of escape
Seven Lamps of Architecture: another Leitner that causes walls to close around the reader and allows the reader to change parts of buildings
The Shovels: symbolic of Hezekiah Wakelye and his digging. There are two of them, one on each side of the coffin, as representatives of Breekon and Hope
The train: representative of Karolina Górka’s statement about the London Underground and The Buried crushing the train around her
