So... Vahlok's mask is not Konharik. Nor was his mask the wooden mask. The wooden mask wasn't even made by the dragons. The wooden mask was wielded by Shalidor, who stole the mask from Akatosh, hence it's time related abilities and similar appearance to the original 8 masks, and the wooden mask is in fact that one time related artifact (who's name escapes me) stolen by Shalidor. Shalidor used the wooden mask in an attempt to access Konharik by bending the time around the shrine, but he failed when he realised that he needed the other 8 dragon priest masks, so he hid the wooden mask so no one else could use it. And Konharik is also not the spectral Priest that the mask summons. The spectral priest is the spirit of one of the other priests, where as the true owner of Konharik is actually that scholer that found the wooden mask, and thats why he was rarely ever seen by the mercs in the note, bc he used the mask to travel back in time to become konarik, to retain the presant timeline, bc konharik was never used untill a time traveler went back in time. Now, back on the topic, Valhok actually seperates the island (not even going to try to spell it) and skyrim by destroying his mask, and he does this to save people from harm.
