why do you choose to believe there's no maker even having a huge part of the lore dedicated to it?


Because there is no evidence.


Very true. Anyway the burden of proof always lies with the believer.

Also, one can argue that the lore is being told by an unreliable narrator (the Chantry).

3. Spirits seem to be a real thing in this world. Justice inhabited a body with no spirit, though some memories remained. Wynne's spirit seems to be fully in control of her body. The mage that we meet in the Fade during the Circle mission dies because his body was left outside the Fade for too long without his spirit. Etc.


I don't think spending to much time in the Fdae away from your body is what kills you. Nial was being fed upon by abominations and demons when we come across him. Eamon spends several weeks away from his body while the desire demon keeps him trapped in the Fade yet he is perfectly fine when we defeat the demon (minus the whole poisoned thing.) I think what really gets you is how aggressive/hostile the spirits you encounter in the Fade while there are. Otherwise you'd see mages at least terribly worn out after going to sleep rather then feelings refreshed.


Entering the Fade as a result of dreaming seems to be much different than actually entering the Fade.  For example, it is possible for a Dwarf to enter the Fade through magical means or through demonic control, but Dwarves cannot enter through natural dreams.

I want to say that there are references in DG's novels about this, but I don't have the books with me at the moment so I can't say that with certainty.  :(
