Well, hold up right there boy! Mind control IS important. As for CHIM:

CHIM is the ability to understand the world's true nature, how it works, where it fails, how to stop, activate and control it. If you have knowledge, then you also have power. Talos knew about CHIM, which is the 5th of 6 ways of mantling. So did the Daedra, and Magnus, being the architect of the world, must know too. I'm not sure whether the Divines knew, but if they did, they would have sensed the trap in building the world, like Magnus.

What's the blathering about Talos and Lorkhan? Have you not heard of the Shezzarines? My previous real-world statement? Where do you think power to make him a god came from?

Talos is a reincarnation of Lorkhan. Cold, hard truth.

As for the mind control thing, the entire plot was a suspected canon thing, and suspicions can be acted upon.
