The speed at which the flame in Alex's hand changed was downright frightening. Understanding of fire alone shouldn't have been possible to make such a thing happen. There needed to be talent too, so Blazelight could only guess just how talented Alex really was.
She understood inherently that Alex would only be fast at learning the flames toward the start. As he learned more and more, it would be difficult to make improvements, and thus he would take much more than the span of a few seconds to fully learn the fire.
However, even if that duration were to stretch to be a decade, that would still make him far more talented than anyone else she had seen.
Everyone in the Fire God's cult was there because they had a talent with flames. And among them, only three could have been said to have truly learned this flame. She was one of them, and it had taken her thousands and thousands of years.
