However, I have found that I am able to absorb souls on Solstheim, as long as I don't have 1 already, but I can't in Skyrim, at least not from random dragon attacks. Assuming I can't absorb any soul in Skyrim, I'll just have to focus on beating Miraak; also need to get 2 more Souls on Solstheim, for Bend Will.

If you kill Miirak, the souls SHOULD return-try and complete the questline, then see if it is still messed up
