麥德三世：魔獸中關於金色眼睛的設定 到底是能成大事？還是德魯伊天賦？還是命運之子？
首先，其實關於這個瞳色的設定隻有兩個而不是三個。
能成大事和“德魯伊天賦”是同一個設定的兩個部分。
金色眼睛代表了這個人強大的德魯伊天賦，但是暗夜精靈當時了解的沒那麼細，隻知道有這個眼睛的人後來都出人頭地了。所以才傳說“有金色眼睛的人都能成大事”。
而他們之所以出頭地，實際上多半都是因為他們的德魯伊天賦。所以暗夜精靈就開始傳說有這個眼睛的人日後肯定能成大事。但是因為暗夜精靈基本上都隻關注奧術，所以並不認為德魯伊術在其中擔當了什麼作用。
關於這一點當初官方百科裏說得很清楚。
銀色的眼睛，金色的眼睛
在天崩地裂之前，金色眼睛在暗夜精靈中極端稀有的，由此而通常被視為未來能成大事的象征。艾薩拉女王與伊利丹都擁有這種異常的眼睛。不幸的是，這種體質的真相直到兩人都墮入黑暗以後，才真正為人們所了解。
事實上，金色眼睛正象征著強大的德魯伊天賦。無疑，天崩地裂之前的暗夜精靈，出於他們對奧術的癡迷，並沒有正確理解這種異常眼睛背後的意義。
然而，擁有天賦並不總意味著持有者能察覺甚至理解自己的天賦，以正確地心態和技術去使用者更是少之又少。盡管伊利丹和瑪法裏奧一樣都曾師從塞納留斯，但他沒能很好地學習德魯伊之道。
天生的德魯伊之力並不一定會讓你變成德魯伊，而缺乏這種天賦的人也不見得便與德魯伊之道無緣。實際上，瑪法裏奧出生時的眼睛是銀色的，但他全身心的投入給了他遠超其它德魯伊的強大力量和技巧。隨著他持續使用德魯伊法術，他的眼睛慢慢獲得了一層金色的光暈，那正是其它的暗夜精靈所夢寐以求的金色眼睛。
此後，金色的眼睛很快就變得更為普及了。天崩地裂之後，暗夜精靈拋棄了他們腐朽的血統和門第觀念，因此金色眼睛的暗夜精靈出生率便由此顯著增加。
此外，隨著暗夜精靈對艾澤拉斯的尊重日趨提高，一定數量的暗夜精靈男性也開始追隨起瑪法裏奧的腳步；這些新生的德魯伊最終也獲得了金色的眼睛。
在傳統上，暗夜精靈女性是人民的戰士、獵人和保衛者。而施法這塊上，則通常被視為男性的領域。第三次大戰所造成的慘重損失讓這種不成文的性別規定成為了過去。但因為德魯伊最近才開始接收女性，金色眼睛在暗夜精靈男性中的比重仍比女性要大。
至於“金色眼睛是命運之子”則是軍團才改的設定。在這個新設定裏，幾乎認為有金色眼睛的人隻有伊利丹和艾薩拉兩個人。
(所以我們未來遇到艾薩拉的時候幾乎可以肯定她會再來一段命運之子劇情，前提是現在的編劇到了那時候還在做啦，以及現在的設定到了那時候還在啦)
備注：關於銀色眼睛與金色眼睛，官方百科的英文解釋：
Silver Eyes, Golden Eyes
Before the Sundering, golden eyes were extremely rare among the night elves. Golden eyes thus came to be regarded as a sign of future greatness. Both Queen Azshara and Illidan had these unusual eyes. Unfortunately the falsehood of this widespread belief was only to become clear after these two infamous individuals had reached their dark fates.
In truth, golden eyes were a sign of strong druidic potential. Little wonder that pre-Sundering night elves, with their emphasis on the arcane, did not understand the significance of these unusual eyes. Simply having this potential did not guarantee that the potential would be sensed or understood, much less wielded with skill and compassion. Despite his golden eyes, Illidan struggled with the druidic arts, though he, like Malfurion, was tutored by Cenarius.
Innate druidic power does not necessarily lead to becoming a druid, and lacking that innate power does not preclude becoming a druid. Indeed, Malfurion was born with eyes that glowed silver, but he studied druidism, and his wholehearted dedication gave him a power and skill far beyond most druids. As he continued to use druidic magic, his eyes acquired the golden incandescence that had once been so coveted by other night elves.
Golden eyes quickly became far more common. After the Sundering, night elves abandoned their former obsession with bloodlines, and so the number of night elves born with golden eyes increased significantly. In addition, the night elves resolved to be more respectful of Azeroth, and a number of night elf men followed in Malfurion s footsteps; these new druids eventually also had golden eyes.
Traditionally night elf women served their people as warriors, hunters, and protectors. Many spellcasting vocations, on the other hand, were generally considered the realm of night elf men. Only since the devastating casualties of the Third War have these conventional gender roles been set aside. Because druids only recently opened their ranks to women, golden eyes remain somewhat more prevalent among night elf men than their female counterparts.
