Theory/question

Ive been rereading older chapters while i wait for the update, and I wanted to ask-

​

Is it a common theory that the elf girls bloodline requires the subject to learn both a fire and a wood technique at rank 1 for it to 'ignite,' foreshadowed by marcus observing her soul was strong, like someone who'd practiced awhile, but not as impressive as regulus's, as well as her indifference to her tree, because she knows its temporary prior to the transformation/awakening?

**and by extension i think the technique she ends up with might be "the fire orchid" technique, or the "flame of the effervescent orchid" or w/e and her spirit is gonna be a fire flower etc

I think about this a bit, not super invested, happy to be surprised that im wrong when we find out.

**This post was prompted by a shower thought, that a possible reason marcus hasnt detected the other technique or previously learned spells via the soul seed is because she hasn't used her other technique since being implanted, and maybe unattuned any spells she had learnt prior to the apprenticeship.

**Extra baseless theory crafting = i think she probably has a recall amulet, or maybe shes still an 'avatar', which is why she was indifferent to the threat from thunder hall/crystal mountain, and that as advanced as her world/empire was, rank 7 mages were probably still very rare, and that if that dynamic is ever explored we'll get a confirmation marcus can take out a mage a rank above him first.
