For people who have clogged the games and know lots about it, heres something for you to think about. Ultimechia is from the future. Squall and co go and kill Ultimehcia in the past and then come back to there own time and live happily ever after. But if its true about sorceress passing on there powers before they die then Rinoa must have had to pass them on. Now just say Squall and Rinoa had a daughter, perhaps RInoa passed her powers onot her or perhaps she passed them onto someone else. Just say she passed them onto her daughter as she did to hers and it kept going on until Ultemchia was born became a syco and honed her power. So her Great Realation Grandmother in Rinoa. One more thing all the sorceress are human, edea, adel and rinoa but the final form of ultemichia is like a monster my only theory on this is that she transformed after absorbing all the other witches you fight before going to her castle.
