Click bottom right corner where it says Aetheryte.

It was literally built into the lore before the game was released.

You could apply your logic to Star Trek and their ability to warp or beam people down to a planets surface. That doesn't destroy people's immersion. It might your's but people find that to be a very interesting aspect of the Star Trek universe. Maybe the Enterprise should run on an Internal Combustion Engine instead ya?

You've contributed nothing to your argument.
they also had a lot of episodes that death with beaming technology and how it can get interrupted or beam back someone half dead, etc. They built it into the world. Atherytes are just there.
