Trueflame Transformation: how to roleplay it?

Since those of us who play trueflames have just gotten the death knell, does anyone have any ideas for how to roleplay their specific powers--which most of us probably played up pretty heavily as these indelible parts of our characters (as sorcerous powers are typically supposed to be)--suddenly changing drastically overnight? Even the fire elementalist path is going to be extremely different from old trueflame, so it's going to be a bit rough no matter what.

If you don’t have a connection to an element then I think the easiest option, not knowing individual role play, is to dive into the spellfire side of things.

If there’s a kind DM out there, they could run something over the next few weeks we here you have done spellfire events happen as well.

I don't play a trueflame and am not bothering to follow the new class, but magic is whack yo.

I think I'd probably be roleplaying some island-wide and sudden change in the weave (which, I mean, that's kind of what this is right?) to explain the abrupt change in spells. The old ways are fizzling out or, worse, doing nothing at all, but there are rumors about new faux-mystical makeupreallylongnonsensewords, and then maybe going with a personal self-discovery story arc to relearn my sorcerous powers.

Just to add more stuff here. I think a lot of interesting themes can come out of this: Is it a curse from the gods? Am I losing my touch? What happened and why? How badly do I need my powers and for what purpose? What is the nature of magic and how does it relate to me?

Magic is so cool because you can do almost anything with it and pretty much nobody can argue with it. Have a field day.

With three weeks of the grace period (translating to ~2.5 IG months), there should be plenty of time to find RP way to fits the current PC so it does not feel sudden.
