The current theory they were working on had finally brought them to a point that may actually be called a significant step forward.
It was Steelweaver's idea, actually. Based on the dwarven ancient knowledge, dungeons primarily used blood magic to identify and reward an individual. That's where the prime spell idea had originally come from. Using not just mana rich blood of a pathfinder but also the fundamental element that kept the blood fresh and mana conductive for a long time. And if certain conditions were met, even forever fresh and usable.
Their dungeon exploration experience and data gathered from so many different types of dungeon atmospheres also gave significant proof of it. Steelweaver couldn't call it blood magic directly, so together, they formed a Conscious Growing Spell theory. It assumed the dungeon as a monster in itself that used the mana-rich blood of the challengers and the environment's mana to keep itself alive.
