    I really didn't get what was up with those crystals, or why they appeared. Especially the one that came from defeating Isgebind. We didn't get any crystal from Aiatar....

    Well we don't know much about what they are it's true, Ramuh said something about the crystal of thunder I think, but there is no real info about it, maybe they are linked to the covenant with midgardsormmr, maybe some gods ( So including Ramuh at least ) made this pact with Hydealyn and created a crystal for each element meant for the one chosen by Hydealyn. I'll try to search for the scene where Ramuh talks about it.

    He just mentions he gave it to the Little Solace Sylphs as a sign that hes there for them or something like that, and realizes you did gain their trust and could potentially keep your word

    Parts of it are still pretty unclear. One of the languages tends to be a little clearer and a little more direct than the others, often English (gods forbid the occasional instance that it's not in the name of character development or riot, amirite). This comes from the French of Lahabrea's taunting in the Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak:

En plus de l'Écho, tu as le pouvoir d'interférer dans le monde de l'éther et de matérialiser des cristaux de lumière. Oui, ton cas est vraiment fascinant...

    I must say that your case fascinates me. I am particularly intrigued by the essence within you... It's been a long time since I've seen a "Warrior of Light," an insidious disease that eats away this planet. In addition to the Echo, you have the power to interfere with the aetherial world and manifest crystals of light. Yes, your case is very fascinating...
    That explains how the crystals of Water and Ice came into your possession; their manifestation was drawn to you (perhaps by your strength, perhaps by Hydaelyn's blessing, perhaps a combination). It also explains how you were able to rend the crystal of Wind directly from Garuda's aetheric flesh.

    The questions people should be asking:
    Were the Fire, Earth, and Wind crystals technically Crystals of Light before you got involved?
    If so, how? And, by extension, how was Ramuh able to manifest a Crystal of Light and bestow it upon the Sylphs?

    The answers to those questions might answer many others...
