ASOIAF Theories: Why The Valyrian Magic is Lost

There is no doubt that there is some special connection between the Valyrian nobility and their dragons. This connection, however, doesn’t seem to be as solid as the connection between a warg and a wolf. The implications are that the taming of dragons must in some way relate to a magical bonding, a Bond that is able to be passed down genetically.

The Phrase “blood of the dragon” seems to add weight to this. All Valyrian magic was said to be rooted in fire and blood, so we can only assume that it was some sort of blood ritual that created the bond that linked dragons and the Valyrians initially. Knowledge of how to perform such a thing would obviously have had to come from the people of the shadow, who for whatever reason must have taught the Valyrians how to bond themselves with dragons, as well as various other arts, including their technique of fusing stone, and even possibly the production of Valyrian steel.

It seems evident that dragons have some sort of effect on the potency of magic in the ASOIAF world. There is even evidence that proximity affects the potency. It is easy to assume that the number of dragons would also have some effect. This all being said, Magic performed within the Valyrian empire must have been quite powerful, due to the number of dragons. This would explain better why the Valyrians were able to conquer the east so quickly, they not only had Dragonfire but powerful magic as well.

Just sharing my ideas one of my favorite book series, A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin. This video may contain spoilers for those of you who are not up to date with the series. That goes for the HBO show and the books.

I'm just speculating and guessing on some ideas that I have on how future events will transpire in the series. Keep in mind, however, I know nothing.
