I like the idea that Aetherium is the fantasy equivelent to uranium or some other radioactive mineral, giving off a powerful magical aura instead of gamma rays. Maybe there was some sort of mineral down in blackreach that got super saturated with magicka during the creation of Nirn. Maybe its a portion of the aedra that make up nirn. Who really knows?
