What?

Why do you think the Daedra hold Dwemer artifacts high? The thing about the daedric artifacts is that they must be materialized or infused with some form of a power source, which is usually the Prince itself. Meaning that outside their own realm, this power is limited.

Dwemer are not a divinity, they do not infuse objects with their own souls/magicka, as it's very limited. So alternate power sources must be found. Innovation from necessity.
