My 2 knuts:
Maybe this power, whatever it is doesn't have a form, a
shape, a physical form, just like air or something, so
in order to study it, it must be kept locked in a room, 
place or container, otherwise it would get lost.  I don't 
think the reason it's locked is because it's more dangerous 
or important than the other rooms. It is dangerous and 
important in its own way.
