Has anybody speculated that the chosen might be a way of "growing" divine power? After all, the only thing they are good at is gaining power very quickly and then kicking the bucket, so maybe that's the entirety of their purpose. After all, their divine power disappears without a trace upon death, and we've seen that something can be "withdrawn" from them, killing them in the process. Maybe their power always returns to its source/controller, allowing them to generate the power used to create shining equipment and the Crystal of Ivala.

Of course, that would mean the Crystal was created by harvesting human souls xD but it's all shiny and divine so it can't be evil :P Basically the opposite of Simon using his dark power ethically.
