So you want mantle to convert the fire damage to chaos damage, and then have aof convert that chaos damage back into fire damage?

This is why.
It is not possible to have conversions go "both ways" or form a loop back to the original type, because the conversion would just keep going forever.

The order in which things can be converted is:
Physical->Lightning->Cold->Fire->Chaos.
Anything can convert to anything that's further up the chain.

The first ones that were put in place were that physical had to be convertable to anything else, and everything should be convertible to chaos (because thematically chaos corrupts things and they aren't de-coruptable). Then we added Cold to Fire support.

Avatar of Fire's new form and some unique designs recently forced us into the specific ordering of lightning->cold->fire within the elements.
