What's the walking star's fire?

Reading from Vivec's 36th Sermon

"Red Mountain exploded as the Hortator went too far inside, seeking the Sharmat.
Dwemeri high priest Kagrenac then revealed that which he had built in the image of Vivec. It was a walking star, which burnt the armies of the Triune and destroyed the heartland of Veloth, creating the Inner Sea.
Each of the aspects of the ALMSIVI then rose up together, combining as one, and showed the world the sixth path. Ayem took from the star its fire, Seht took from it its mystery, and Vehk took from it its feet, which had been constructed before the gift of Molag Bal and destroyed in the manner of truth: by a great hammering. When the soul of the Dwemer could walk no more, they were removed from this world."

I hear the walking star is Numidium and I can't think of anything else down there that could be described as havig been "built in the image of Vivec." I assume the mystery was its mechanism which Sotha Sil worked out, allowing them to apply it to their own ends, while the feet are what gave it the ability to walk, which I think is something to do with super apotheosis which is apparently achieved using CHIM and prolix towers and such. So what did Almalexia get out of it that the others didn't at least straight away?

Sorry I forgot where the York Notes to the 36 Sermons of Vivec were. I know I've seen some somewhere.

MK said some times its best to take thing literally.

It "burnt" the armies of the Triune. So Ayem took away its fire. She's the warrior of the bunch after all.
