You could see it (I see it, actually) as a mystic act of negation of
the Zzaburite spell which closed the oceans first time. A sort of
Dormali secret which as a mystic aspect any way (theistic or sorcery)
you look at Dormal.
I hope the above is not over-rulesy.

I agree. A tasteful bit of folklore, not related at all with the real magics taking place.

I think that the problem is not the resistance but the fact that you
have to know the secret (mystic aspect and top aspect of Dormali cult)
to pass. You can't simply achieve a minor victory: you pass or you
don't pass. You know the secret or you don't know it. No way to
overcome the Zzaburite godlike resistance in other (known) ways.
