Something about the wording when obtaining the skill point from the skyshards by "absorbing" made the process stand out from most of the other beneficial mechanisms of the Elder Scrolls universe. Quick recap a [[spoiler: Dragonbreak is when something so cataclysmically altering involving souls and massive quantities of Aetherial occurs, that time and reality are altered to fill the schism.]] Originally a WordOfGod / GameplayAndStorySegregation tool developed to cover the [[spoiler: multiple hero ending possibilities]] generated by player choices in Daggerfall that would need covering in the upcoming Morrowind. Deep in Elder Scrolls lore it says that the [[spoiler: stars are childeren of the Aetherius]] or some such, that they are actually [[spoiler: holes in reality literally leading through Mundus into Aetherius.]] Given the fact that a [[spoiler: Dragonbreak]] is generated by events on Mundus/Nirn, it stands to reason there would be a Mundus or Nirnly manifestation of the energies, or Aetheria (:/ kind of a pun on the words "a theory" lol :/). Anyway, the skyshards are actually physical representations of the hole leading through to Aetherius and the beam of light is actually flowing directly into there as well. Both the crystals and the beams of light are generating all the energies necessary to establish [[spoiler: all effects/phenomena of a Dragonbreak, ie varying accounts of single events, individuals in multiple places at once, record tomes spontaneously physically changing to reflect the "anomalies", and so on.]] Consequently, due to the Elder Scrolls Online events taking place [[spoiler: during a Dragonbreak]] it would seem the player character is quite privvy to partaking to the effect of spontaneous skill point generation. My apologies for the SpoilerSwissCheese . . .

[[WMG: The Order of the Waking Flame is a precursor to the Mythic Dawn from Oblivion]]
Everyone who has played both games can see the blatent similarities between the two Dagonist cults. [[WatsonianVersusDoylist Doyalist]] reasoning aside, it is quite possible that the seeds for the Mythic Dawn came from the deposed Waking Flame. After all, in ''Oblivion'' the Mythic Dawn could be traced back to the time of Tiber Septim, and by the Third Era the records for events prior to Septim were spotty at best. Who is to say Mankar Camoran was not inspired by the words of an older cult?

**(not OP here)Sorry to just interject my opinion but good eye and excellent call! I had forgotten about than business because I mentally wrote it off an element of comic relief. It's very weird because smitten Cinnabar is of significant standing, but has basically jotted down a frivolous diary entry out of . . . I don't even know what. Whereas as Phrastus's more serious take and standing make it that much harder to not %100 disregard Cinnabar's recorded pov.
