Talk:The Deep/@comment-33244015-20171003181212

I have a theory on the nature of the Deep that I haven't seen suggested yet. The Deep Gem can be infused with a weapon to cause dark damage but the weapon loses stat scaling. This is similar to imbuing a weapon with chaos. Chaos was created or unleashed in an attempt to replicate the first flame. It spawned demons and was seen as almost a perverse and twisted version of Light and Flame. With that in mind I propose that the Deep is to Dark and Chaos is to Light, a twisted, consuming, and overwhelming form of Darkness. If that's the case though, I wonder what instigated the Deep being unleashed in a similar way that Chaos was unleashed.
