This may be stretching a bit but it’s stated that the Altmer were focusing on Dracochrysalis which if they’re focused on it, it’s likely but not 100% that this is the way left behind from Auri-El, Draco meaning dragon, and chrysalis meaning to mature, transformation almost. Where the Altmer sought to focus on dracochrysalis, or keeping elder magic bound before it could change into something lesser (and act which ironically required aetherial surplus), the Ayleids harvested castaway creatia from Oblivion by entering a pact with the masters of the Void, the Princes of Misrule. White-Gold Tower was made by the Ayleids, the Heartland High Elves that would have none to do with their isle-kind. In other words, it was a focus point for (re-)reaching the divine. Like all of the polydox constructs of the earliest Aldmer– whatever their abnegaurbic creed– White-Gold Tower is a conduit of creatia, aad sembia sembio, built to bring about a reversal of the congealing spiritual bleed caused by the Convention. Crystal-Like-Tower itself holds the wisdom and knowledge of their people, and Auri-El spent much of his time preaching to them and talking at length.

I like the theory that crystal-like-law was used because of the Altmer and their structures being said to be “made of words and poetry” as this theme fits with the definition of Prolix.

This is supposedly the walking way of Auri-El, and we assume that he used the Ada-Mantia or crystal-like-law, but how? Tower means both the structure and to reach new heights. From what I can tell, most of the fans are still perplexed by this.
