Talk:Witch of Izalith/@comment-98.28.88.47-20121214132130/@comment-1852943-20130429143038

From what I've pieced together, Izalith and her daughters of chaos were fire sorcerers, not pyromancers. There's no mention of pyromancy until after Izalith attempted to recreate the first flame, centuries after Izalith discovered a lord soul. The earlist known source of pyromancy is Quelena. Based on that loose timeline, I have three theories:


 * SPECULATION WARNING *****

1. Izalith created pyromancy as an alternate set of powers during her final experiments. Thus, the bed of chaos may have been created by the first and most powerful pyromancy. As Izalith died during the experiment, there would be no record of her as a known pyromancer.

2. When Izalith accidentally created the bed of chaos, the power of fire sorcery was corrupted, and became pyromancy.

3. Consider the possibility that Izalith was the source of fire sorcery, not just academically but in a very literal sense; fire sorcery drew from Izalith, and without her the power of fire sorcery was forever lost. Izalith's death would have left her daughters defenseless, prompting them to search for another source of power: the bed of chaos. Izalith's daughters may have drawn from the bed of chaos to create pyromancy.
