@Cain: Thanks!

@Brainwasher: To further my theory, the citizens of Oolacile were corrupted by the Abyss, no? Perhaps the Abyss contains a portion of Manus himself, since he is the "Father of the Abyss" after all. If this is the case, then when Oolacile fell to the Abyss, the citizens may in fact have become infected by some portion of Manus's insanity. With this would've come Manus's intimate knowledge of the Dark sorceries. Combine this with the Oolacile sorcerers' adeptness at casting magic, then Manus's sorceries would become more wide-spread.
