Well, that's a lot like "and then Vinga used her own wind that no-one had heard of before". Ernalda isn't the only culprit by any means. I think a lot of these are the "how you gain Feat X" HQs. A Devotee who knows the feat leads you, you all join in, and at that point you find you unexpectedly know how to call that wind, do that ritual, fly, whatever. By divine inspiration, if you like.
