That's one of the frustrating things in the texts I've read. Chroma existed, the levels had been reduced, and then something related to the Calamity and the attack on Lunatia led to Chroma ceasing to be naturally produced. Or even artificially. Most often it reads like something we're meant to understand is so widespread and happens without being commented on so that no text actually deals significantly with how Chroma was produced... so far. I've only been able to read what I can find.
I tried looking online, but the theories were all over the place and even less backed by research than some of the more out there books on shelves.
I did read one theory from the last few months wondering if Moonblessed produced Chroma might be able to store up until it hits a point of some other kind of Event, causing Chroma processes that went offline hundreds of years ago to start again. Absolutely nothing to back it up, but it's one more thing to wonder about.
I agree that there needs to be some alternate energy source for the Prismals, but... wonder as well if it's something in their genetic make-up that has Chroma and Demichroma work for them in ways that solar energy or something like that doesn't. Since there's nothing like that here.
