and want to know how these are related.

Both maps $\Frob_{\kP}$ and $\Frob_{\kp}$ induce the power-of-$p$ map in the corresponding quotient field, hence we would expect them to be naturally the same.

TODO: Broken proof. Needs repair.
First, $K/\QQ$ is normal, so $\Frob_{\kP}$ fixes the image of $K$, that is,
$\Frob_{\kP} \restrict{K} \in \Gal(K/\QQ)$ is well-defined.

We have the natural map $\phi \colon \OO_K \to \OO_L \to \OO_L/\kP$, and the quotient map $q\colon \OO_K \to \OO_K / \kp$. Since $\kP \subseteq \kP$, then $\phi$ factors through $\colon$ to give a natural field homomorphism $\OO_K / \kp \to \OO_L / \kP$.

Since field homomorphism are injective, $\Frob_{\kP}$ induces the power-of-$p$ map on $\OO_L / \kP$, and everything is commutative, the theorem follows.
\end{proof}
In short, the point of this section is that
