I agree with  Vaatividya's theory, but I think that, instead, the original Rite of Kindling was lost. The power that was stolen from Nito was the power of Necromancy, and Pinwheel recreated the Rite of Kindling, since the item description does say that it is recreatable. I also have a sneaking suspicion that the Reason Leeroy will assist you while fighting Pinwheel but invade when you challenge Nito is that Leeroy betrayed The Way of White and became a Gravelord Servant and, as an undead, The Way of White got...well, pissed. So they just blame all undead and thus, Undead persecution.
