Every single damn thing in this game has a mostly lackluster "scientific" (lore-wise) explanation given to it leaving nothing of intrigue. Nothing is just magic or their own special thing, everything is tied to some boring thing.
It's even worse than just "some boring thing", it's mostly the exact same boring thing.
Lost ancient civilizations and technology, the gods, major disasters and conflicts throughout history, even the different races...all just caused or created by Ancients in the end.
And I wouldn't be surprised if that is going to be the explanation for all future mysteries as well.

Even if Dynamis existed as some unexplained force in the past, it should've stayed that way. We did not need "the power of emotions" to be literally confirmed.
